Winter Skin

Install a water softener - the kind that works with an exchange resin, regenerated by salt. They are expensive, but well worth it. I used to have the same problem (Bloemfontein winters are the worst!), now hardly need any moisturiser.

Really - you want pics of my winter induced grand canyon deep cracked heals?

Which I repair with super glue and duck tape :)

I learnt the hard way. Anything less and my skin is really :sick:

Stop being nasty to Shaun, he probably has some good tips there. It will take half an hour to do all that, though!!/QUOTE]

Its winter blu! I don't have half an hour to spare. Once you get used to the routine it speeds up.

And remember I am still a guy so it's quick and practical :p

Bayby oil makes me go dryer than before. Then i read this and it makes sense to me. So when i have time i make my own body scrub.

Quote: I would not recommend mineral oil (baby oil) because this will not penetrate into the skin like the other oils will. Mineral oil is pore-clogging and once it evaporates your skin may be left looking dryer than before you used it.

Love body scrubs! Have a lavender one from Body Shop, hmmm.
 
I have been accused on Mbb of being amish:o

But i save all my left over coffee from the coffee machine and make a scrub with that.
 
But, but it's water that hydrates the skin not lotions.

If you're a hectic coffeedrinker, in the winter you should have a
glass of water/juice for every 4th cup of coffee to hydrate.

or drink a glass of water/juice just before going to bed, if you hydrate a bit more, your winterskin should bounce back, unless
you have heaters on at home.

(and a bit of extra Vit C should help)
