For some of us, the season is a constant battle against dry, irritated skin.\u00a0 Sure there are lots of heavy moisturizers out there, but it can be difficult to find the one that does the trick.\u00a0 Some leave you too slippery, while others cast a strange chalky effect.\u00a0 Certainly not what we are looking for during the most festive (and social) time of the year.<\/p>\n
Now, I have written many an article here on Feelgood about dry skin and the many wonderful products on the market to help with this particular condition.\u00a0 But (for those of you prone to plenty of natural oils) please bear with me, I think I am on to something here.<\/p>\n
This latest concoction was something I stumbled upon over lack of time and forethought.\u00a0 After exfoliating my body with a mixture of sugar and milk in the shower I went to apply my usual body lotion.\u00a0 Realizing it would not be enough hydration for my freshly sloughed skin, I added a squirt of body oil.\u00a0 Later that night I realized that my skin was still super silky and soft and well nourished. <\/p>\n
So, what\u2019s good for the bod has to be good for the face as well, right?\u00a0 Seems to be.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Try adding a drop or two of face oil to your usual winter time moisturizer and see if that doesn\u2019t make all the difference.\u00a0 Just be careful not to over do it.\u00a0 (I did attend one event with rather greasy locks due to overly oily skin.\u00a0 Time for an updo!).<\/p>\n
Night time is a totally different story.\u00a0 I tend to really go for it at bedtime, slathering it on as thick as possible to give skin a big drink while sleeping.<\/p>\n
You can use pretty much any combination of your choosing or whatever you happen to have on hand.\u00a0 Right now my combo of choice is Weleda Calendula Face Cream<\/a> with a pump of Intelligent Nutrients Anti-Aging Serum<\/a>.\u00a0 Rosehip oil<\/a> works really well here too.<\/p>\n For body, Jurlique Rose Body Care Lotion<\/a> provides light hydration and lovely scent to skin.\u00a0 Add a shot of Dr. Hauschka Almond St. John\u2019swort Body Oil <\/a>for nourishment and to kick up moisture.<\/p>\n If you try this, I\u2019d love to know your results.\u00a0 And please let us in on your best tips for hydrating dry, winter skin.<\/p>\n Image:\u00a0 John Steven Fernandez at Flickr.com, Creative Commons license.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For some of us, the season is a constant battle against dry, irritated skin.\u00a0 Sure there are lots of heavy moisturizers out there, but it can be difficult to find the one that does the trick.\u00a0 Some leave you too slippery, while others cast a strange chalky effect.\u00a0 Certainly not what we are looking for […] More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":66,"featured_media":3352,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"\"\"","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false},"categories":[11,12],"tags":[3017,4434,3689,2901,1031,3747,2481,4709,1860,4251,9031],"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/winterskinbyjohnstevenfernandez.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3351"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/66"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3351"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3351\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3352"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3351"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3351"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3351"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
