Eek!

When I do shower though, it's a comparable routine of total exfoliation, in-shower moisturizing while wet (love Lush's body conditioners. I'm currently using an Olay version that's effective, but stinks of dimethicone). Then post-shower I use a mix of CeraVe (the kind in the tub) and coconut oil. I only do this maybe 3 times a week, it takes a few extra minutes in my day, and it's 100% worth it to not itch, bleed, feel like sand paper, or have my clothes "catch" on me.Squirrelynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-59261073280274695542015-12-23T03:36:12.705-05:002015-12-23T03:36:12.705-05:00Wait Gaia, one thing I may not have gotten right: ...Wait Gaia, one thing I may not have gotten right: is it an everyday routine you described above??? Because if it is, then I'd rather say - let all my skin peel off, but I don't want to spend the rest of my days in the bathroom. On the other hand, here's a person who uses skin lotion maybe once a week just because I like the smell...ok, in wintertime I use it more often but only on my shins.

As a kid, my mother coated my in Crisco every night before bed! I always smelled like a french fry but it didn't do much to help my alligator skin. The teasing was awful.<br /><br />As an adult I've found few things that really help - 2 fish oil capsules every day, a humidifer in the winter, Cetaphil in the jar alternating with AmLactin and, best of all, a Korean body scrub at least 4 times a year. I think you live in Paramus so you're close to my favorite one in Fort Lee. It's not for the modest or the faint of heart but once those strong women scrub off a couple layers of skin from head to toe, you feel like a whole new person.

AmLactin sent me on the way to clearing that up. One day on Bois de Jasmin, Victoria was talking about skin care. She suggested after you shower but before you dry off, apply some sweet almond oil (or whatever kind floats your boat) all over your body. When you get out of the shower rub it in further and you hardly have to use your towel. These two things cured my wintertime itchies!marshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05273288116543315060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-32092929124343185532015-12-21T21:12:22.488-05:002015-12-21T21:12:22.488-05:00Ooooo , I am going to look out for the La Roche P...Ooooo , I am going to look out for the La Roche Posay Lipikar lotion. We do not get all the range here but I am crossing my fingers .<br /><br />I am obnoxious too! LOL I know the French products from skin care to lippies are just the same as other countries but , like you , I get that certain je ne sais quoi from using them! In fact ... I am more obnoxious than you - I just quoted in French!
