It's common knowledge that Chicago bears the brunt of some of Mother Nature’s worst temper tantrums. Yes, thankfully we are safe from disasters like tornados, hurricanes and earthquakes. However, what we get instead are harsh winters spiked with skin-numbing winds of damp, cold air and weeks of concrete grey skies.
Though born and bred here, my skin has never adapted. Every year when the weather snaps all moisture leaves my skin and I am desiccated like a piece of old shoe leather. But, try as I might to take preemptive measures, I'm left scrambling in January, hunting for more moisturizer. I usually begin my search at a fancy department store like Neiman Marcus or Barney's. There I'll let the people at the counter guide me through the maze of products as I collect little tubes and tubs of samples to try. Invariably, find something I like that my wallet detests. So, I move on to Walgreen's or CVS look for the basics. Aveeno in general makes really great low-cost products. I like their Bath Moisturizing Packets and my husband uses one of their facial moisturizers. Keri and Vaseline Intensive Care make nice fragrance-free lotions that aren't too greasy. My favorite body lotion has always been Jergen's Original Cherry-Almond Scent. It's rich enough to keep my skin hydrated, light enough to use everyday and the delicate fragrance reminds me of my Grandmother.
Don't delay! Protect your largest organ and get some good moisturizer.
Look for face and skin products here!
Good Luck and Good Shopping
