It’s the New Year, what is new?

I do not know about you, but I feel lost this week. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and week of being lackadaisical leading up to New Years.

Okay ,the remains of that Blizzard that hit us are almost all gone, thankfully. The weather has been cold, warm and back to cold.  The changes in the temperatures outside, the heat we have on inside usually create havoc on the skin.

Are you noticing your  skin is drier? Are flakes appearing and do you feel itchy?  This seems to be the story of skin during the winter months. It is not fun.

I have started applying my face cream right on my face while it is still wet, WHY? because it is trapping in more moisture. It happened by chance the one day I did this,I do not know why,but I noticed that my skin was not looking dehydrated mid day,I have to tell you I was excited. Is this the end to my  dehydrated skin?  That would be so nice.
