Hey beauties!  So Fall is here, and Winter is most definitely coming.  The skin tends to dry out easily around this time of year, which isn't fun.  Chapped lips, elbows, and knees are probably the most painful out of all of these on my list.  I have some tips to heal, and avoid this problem though.

1. Vaseline
 Vaseline is perfect for hydrating the skin.  I like to use it on my lips (right before I go to bed at night and right when I wake up), and cuticles.  Yesterday I bought Cocoa Butter Vaseline at Target for $2.97.  It was a nice sized tub, and you only need a little bit to put on your lips and cuticles.  I really do mean a little bit, all you need to do is dab your finger in it lightly.  You can buy it here.

2. Aveeno 24 Hour Moisturizing Lotion
   Put this stuff on your legs, arms, and any other dry area on your body every day.  I recommend right after you shower.  This really does help to moisturize your body.  It's not greasy, it sinks into the skin well, and it really does last for 24 hours.  You can buy it here.

3. Olive Oil
 When I shave my legs they become smooth but dry.  To avoid this (and spend less money on shaving cream that doesn't moisturize as well) put about a tablespoon of olive oil into a small cup and put it in the shower.  Pour some on one leg and rub it around until it covers everywhere.  Then you're free to shave, and you don't need to put lotion on right after you shower.  If you want to get the dead skin off and exfoliate add a quarter cup of sugar.  Then you will have super smooth, moisturized legs.

What are your winter tips for staying moisturized?

xxoo,
Claire.
