Winter Remedies for Dry Skin!

It's winter! Well, it's starting to get colder, which means that my skin, face and lips will most likely start getting dry because of the coldness in the air. That's really horrible if you're not prepared for it. If your lips get dry, you probably recognise this: your lips are getting really dry, so you just lick them to fix that. The lips get more dry, which causes you to lick them even more, and eventually your lips will get sore and red. Of course, some people use lipbalms. Some people use Vaseline. The problem with Vaseline is, that it comes in a really annoying can, it's greasy and it melts in your pocket. Instead, go buy a normal lip balm. Some people pay a lot of money for fancy lip balms like Eos. I don't. I use this:


Mentholatum lipbalm. It's really nice, and I really enjoy it's menthol scent. It sinks in really fast and makes your lips soft and nice. Also, it's cheap. I don't think I paid more than £2.50 for a double pack. A really great alternative to ordinary lip balms. I think it's the first lip balm that I've actually used until it was empty, because I'm the kind of person who accidentally wash and dry my lip balms because I leave them in my pants. But not this one, because I use it a lot, and it's never really in my pants, but in my coat, which I bring everywhere. So yeah, definitely worth it!







If you have dry skin, you probably recognise this as well: your hands get dry. Sometimes my hands get so dry that skin starts to fall off. It's actually really disgusting, so I'm not going to go into details. My point is, it's really annoying and it really, REALLY hurts. So what you need  is a good moisturizer. This time I'll do the opposite of what I did above and warmly recommend this:

Vaseline Healthy Hands and Stronger Nails. It's genuinely the best hand cream I've ever had. It's not even £1.50, and it's still so amazing! It has a bit of a weird scent. Kind of rosy, kind of like the classic grandma-creams. But it's okay, because it dries in really fast and makes your hands and fingers soft as a baby's bottom. If you can find this, just give it a go, because it's so good!
