Skin Essentials - White Pantyhose or Flaky White Skin?

No judging here...*Puts head down* I am guilty of it too. Sigh. (not hardly as much as I use to do it) but how many times have you heard "because I'm wearing pants I may not lotion" Or I've heard people say, "it's summer, i don't need lotion." I hear guys say, "do you know how much money I spend on lotion because my body is so big. I only lotion what the public eye can see." No, for real. Guys, you do stuff like this. And some chicas too...Not cool. SMH

So, what I've had to do is right out of the shower I would take a mixture of lotion and oil, rub it together and lotion my entire body and i do mean ENTIRE body, even between my toes. The lotion moisturizes and the oil seals in the moisture. Some lotions that work are those with Shea Butter, Vitamin E and Cocoa Butter. Keri lotion is a really nice thick lotion that doesn't feel like it weighs my skin down, but it cost a little more than the other ones. I have tried the Vaseline brand, but wasn't too fond of it. Currently, I use Suave and other Bath & Body Works lotions mixed usually with this oil I use for my hair, skin and nails. Talk about a triple threat with that oil. Otherwise, you can always use Vitamin E Oil, Johnson's Baby Oil Gel (I use this often too)EVOO, or even tea tree oil if you have severely flaky and/or dry skin.

I found this interesting article on WedMD about the Causes of Dry Skin. http://www.webmd.com/healthy-beauty/features/dry-skin-causes You have to know the skin you have and work with it to make your skin nice and healthy.

And YES, it may be a bit expensive to lotion ur entire body, but your body craves that moisture. Also, drink water to help hydrate the body. It will show in your skin too. CiAo & MuAh!
