You can have soft skin all year long.

With the dry, winter season upon us, I thought I would share my favorite remedies for soothing your skin this season.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    LIP BALM is not just for lips. Use lip balm daily. I love to use lip balm on my hands. Banana Boat is my favorite, but you can use any brand. It is a good idea to use one that you do not like on your lips so that it does not go to waste. It is excellent on extremely dry spots such as your knuckles or around your finger tips.

  2. Step 2

    LANOLIN is like a miracle cure for me. Use lanolin when you have a severe dry or cracked area of skin. It can be used on your skin almost everywhere on your body. I use it on my lips, face hands, legs, anywhere that needs extra intense moisturizing. It works very quickly to create soft, supple skin.

  3. Step 3

    LIQUID BANDAGE is excellent for use if you have a cut or blister. It is very handy for fingers and feet. Use liquid bandage when you need your sore held together.

  4. Step 4

    AQUAPHOR is also excellent for all your skin and lips. Use Aquaphor or Eucerin daily to keep skin soft. You can put in on your dry feet with a pair of socks at night and have smooth skin in the morning!
