How i keep moisturized in dry and cold weather
3:17 PM
Finished packing our bags for San Antonio Trip.
Will be going from 20-23rd Dec
I packed my bag as if i was moving house.
Do every girl do that? HAHA!
But mainly its because of the cold cold weather,
and its so so dry that i packed extra soap and moisturizer.
Im staying in Dallas, the blue circle.
And travelling down to San antonio,
4-5 hours drive, as if gg malaysia.
But the thing is, im still in Texas. HAHAHA!
How weird is that!
How i keep myself and baby moisturized in dry weather?
I think most Singaporeans have oily skin,
i assume, because i have.
So when we reach here, our skin turn dry, not those EXTREME dry one.
But still, dont buy oil-based products,
cause even with the dry weather,
oil based products on (used to be oily) skin still causes Breakouts.
HAIR
Asience is the best shampoo i ever used.
Suitable for Asian hair,
i used all sorts of shampoo before, but Asience just give a smooth finishing.
Once in awhile,
use hair mask too! Mine is from Origins,
and i love love love the pear smell.
Apply on scalp and hair and leave it there.
End it with leave on conditioner to seal those splitting ends.
I still love Ellips the most, but its finishing soon.
Loreal to shine my hair, and tame down frizze.
The bottle has a LOCKED system, can bring it out,
for those who permed your hair.
FACE
Origins drinked up mask,
in the smell of AVOCADO.
ITS SOOOO DELICIOUS!!
No matter what facial wash you get,
it still dries the skin.
Even its mild or what,
so immediate moisturizing is important.
(You dont want ppl to see flakes of dry skin falling out right?)
I just got this product,
and its so so so so good!
If you used to have oily skin like me,
go for the GEL instead of LOTION for this product.
The gel is oil-free,
while the other time i bought wrongly the lotion,
it leaves the skin Greasy loh!
I got the travel size because the pump sucks!
The straw can only pump till a certain level,
then the rest???
Scoop out ah?
Follow by applying this,
i know i over apply, but i love the powdery feeling of this.
And apply both, last you the whole day!
BODY
Trust St.Ives for their moisturizing body wash.
Dont try to use normal body wash,
you skin sure feels very tight.
Althought i do use normal body wash once in awhile,
because i think moisturizers leave a layer of "Ni Hou" behind.
After normal soap, then use st.ives
My all time favourite!!
SEBAMED!
Oil-free again,
once you apply on your skin, confirm soft soft one.
NON GREASY! suitable for sensitive skin, no smell too!
The skin will be bouncy! LOL!
To me, Eucerin is another great brand.
But sadly this one i bought abit Greasy.
I apply on all our drier parts.
Baby hands, and my tummy and back.
Dont put too much,
But i put on my tummy to minimise stretchmarks,
if i were to get it.
(Only buy this Eucerin for EXTREME dry skin)
Other Parts.
Vaseline lip balm heals cracked lips,
and doesnt have those screw lip stick kind.
I dont like those!
This one Squeeze out one.
And eye mo for dry eyes,
very important,
if not your contacts may fly out.
just kidding. LOL
If you feel you done all these and still feel soo so so so dry.
Then,
dont think i dont know you never drink water and eat fruits kies!
All these products are external care,
internal, drink plenty of water and eat fruits!
Dont eat watermelon during winter.
Its "LIANG"
But i got a box to finish due to mr. babyfied craving.
Cut liao never eat one,
wait for me to finish things in the fridge.
>.<
I wasnt born with great skin,
so extra care for it is very important!
Love,
Yanwen
