A Fix for Dry Faces

I don’t know about where you are, but here in Indiana it’s been pretty cold for the past few weeks.

Inevitably, at this time of year, people always ask how I keep my skin looking so smooth and non-flaky when the weather is so bitterly cold.

Enter the Vanicream skin care line.

This line has products that contain no dyes, fragrance, lanolin, or paraben – which are found in many commonly available skin care lines.

To combat dry winter skin, I use Vanicream Moisturizing Skin Cream.

This cream takes some getting used to – especially for your face.

It is thick, really thick. I put a drop of the cream on my fingertip to show you how thick it was, but that doesn’t photograph very well. Suffice it to say, I can walk around with a drop on my fingertip and it’s so thick it won’t even run off.

A drop is literally all you need – so the tube above usually lasts me a minimum of 4-5 months.

Compared to other face products, this one takes a minute to absorb. I usually put it on my face, style my hair, and then go back and put on my makeup.

At first it feels a bit greasier than other products – but it does absorb completely in a few minutes.

The only problem I have ever had with this product was that it’s not easy to find. I order mine on Drugstore.com but it has recently become available at most Walgreens in the larger pump size.

Hope the weather isn’t too cold where you are today. Stay warm!
