Skin's Best Defense

Indiana weather has my skin all kinds of freaked out.  Thankfully, this isn’t my first rodeo and I’ve learned to deal with the dry, cold, suck-the-life-out-of-me Indiana winters.

A humidifier or a steam vaporizer is wonderful for adding moisture back into the air.  I keep one in my bedroom and turn in on a few hours before I hit the sack (usually while I'm reading).  

 

 
Also, coconut oil has been a huge blessing. I wash my face with my Clarasonic and Cetaphil and then use about a teaspoon the same way I would moisturizer (rub it between your fingers until it emulsifies) and then rinse of the excess before I'm done in the shower.

Finally, I use Vaseline on my lips and the corners of my eyes (which get super flaky) before bed.

Happy Monday!
