Ask Sandy G – Moisturizer

October 21, 07

lamer2.jpgQ: Hi Sandy, I love your blog, it’s very informative…I wanted to ask you if you need a different moisturizer for winter and summer? Help me Please! (From: Lidia)

A: Dear hydrated,

Absolutely! A different moisturizer for winter is a must! It is only natural that as the temperature drops below zero, the air outside is obviously colder and drier than in the summer months, which means our poor skin, if not taken care of properly, can become irritated and excessively dry!!…(oh, how I already miss you Summer…the hot sunshine glistening on my shoulders, tanning on the beach, pina colada’s…sigh…i’ll miss you the most, flip flop…only 240 more days till i see you again…)

Here are some quick and easy tips to help protect your skin from the harsh winter conditions!

1. Try using a rich face cream instead of lotion. A cream is a heavier moisturizer than a lotion, which will provide that extra hydration you’re looking for during the colder months! Also, if you don’t already do so, try moisturizing both morning and night, that’ll help keep you skin feeling nice and soft! (more…)

Taking care of your lips, is a must!

lip2.jpgI bought a fabulous new product this weekend, I just had to tell you about! As you all know winter is right around the corner, and with the cold, comes dry, chapped lips…so it is so important to make sure you use a really good lip balm/chapstick to keep them nice and hydrated. And, I found the perfect one, Nivea CareGloss & Shine! It hydrates and cares for your lips with Vitamin E and Shea Butter, while at the same time adding a natural tint to your lips with the perfect amount of shine, without ever feeling sticky!

It comes in three great shades…a definite must have!
