Dry skin in the winter.
 

Man, this weather is killing my skin! It's basically just on my face. If I shave daily I have no problems, but if I skip a day the new hair growth creates dry skin! I can't stand it... and I moisturize with cocoa butter!

Does this happen to anyone else or do I have sort of strange skin disorder?

the cold weather affects my hands badly. they get very dry, very quickly.

Cocoa butter is good, but shea butter is great :)

Will have to look into this. Where can it be purchased?

Get a humidifier if you dont have one, preferably whole house but in a pinch a cheap one near your air return duct will work nicely to spread through the house.

My humidity gauge is almost always off scale low in winter which means below 15%.. it's just painfully dry.. I blink my eyes and it's like sandpaper, ya know? drrrrrryyyyyy hot air sucks the moisture out of everything. Nice humid air will not only help hair/skin, but also improve the efficiency of your air to hold the heat you pay so much for. It's really a can't lose scenario.

Don't use any soap on your face. Only water.

I stopped shaving in November... Seems to be working out good so far. :)

shea is really better and not from cows

metrosexual much?

here are a few more hints which work for me:
put plants in your living area and bedroom, healthier for you than humidifiers..
drink loads of water daily
shea butter is not bad but you could also look for lotion which relieves eczema..

If you take hot showers.. take cooler ones. The heat really dries out your skin. I used to have this problem until I found that out.

Also if you want to remove all the dry skin use toner to take it off then use lotion on your face

lol

You can work it out by changing a little bit the nutrition,but that differs from a type of skin to another....

Do you think Bobby Orr moisturized with cocoa butter?:winkwink: snap out of it:)

I can sell you either if you wish, 100% pure. Though I do not recommend using it in that fashion unless you really really want to. A blend would do you much better and could be applied in the same fashion as a body butter. You may also wish to look into adding a little jojoba and possibly a touch of vitamin E on your skin before you apply the butters.
I am still though a fan of actual lotions and we build those to order.

That pretty much is a falacy. Do not use a detergent bar on your face and only use cool to warm water.

Yup same here. And it looks like this cold weather will be here for a good while longer yet... :disgust

I love cold weather but when it starts hurt, I start hate!
