winter skin saver

So I suppose that technically, it's still fall. But any of you that live out in the Rockies like me know that winter is coming fast! And especially in a dry climate, this season can be brutal on your skin. So how do you fix it? Lotion of course! Now, I have used many different body lotions that work just fine, but when it comes to facial moisturizers, there's only one that I've found that works. I've tried TONS of others, and I always come back to this one:


Cetaphil Daily Facial Moisturizer! This stuff is amazing. A lot of other moisturizers either  don't give your face enough moisture, or they leave your face feeling super greasy afterwards. This does neither of those things; it completely moisturizes without making your face feel greasy. Now, it is a little on the pricey side of the drugstore brands (listed around $12 at WalMart), but it is definitely worth it. That's why I keep coming back to it! I'm a very cheap person, which is why I've ended up trying so many other brands...trying to find the cheapest one. But seriously, nothing I've ever tried works this well. And if you've been using some fancy, upscale brand? This is probably a much better choice. I guarantee it works just as well, and it's probably less expensive.

Bonus? The SPF works great! I've never burnt on my face when I was wearing it.

Extra tip: Don't like the feeling of stuff on your face? I don't. So, after applying the moisturizer and letting it dry for maybe 3-5 minutes, I lightly rub my face in a circular motion with a washcloth. My face stays moisturized, but feels like I just washed it!
