Yes, winter is here. Know how I can tell? My skin feels drier than an African desert. Not to mention it is currently 18 degrees outside (-10 with the wind chill). To fix my scaly-skin blues, I have a secret weapon that’s cost effective - Neutrogena Body Oil!

There are a couple of ways to use this Light Sesame Formula. I love using it right after I get out of the shower. I actually keep it in the shower, and I put it on immediately after I pat myself dry. Because your pores are open after a warm shower, your skin will literally drink this stuff right up.

My grandma uses it another way. She puts it on while still IN the shower. It is the last thing she does before exiting, but there’s a catch. After putting it all over, she turns the water on as cold as she can stand it. The cold water “seals” it into her skin as the pores close up due to the cold. Then she pats herself dry. She likes this option better because she doesn’t feel as greasy afterwards. Then again, the cold probably feels good considering she lives in Florida. I have enough cold right outside my window, and can’t stand the thought of more cold in the shower.

You can get Neutrogena Body Oil for around $8.99 at any grocery store. It goes on sheer and smells amazing - and it works better than any other moisturizer I’ve ever used. Can’t complain about the price either!
