every time there’s a change in the weather, my skin is highly affected. especially around winter it gets dry, itchy and tight. also contributing to my dry skin is having the heat on all day long. i tend to get small patches of rough dry skin and no matter how much i moisturize, it doesn’t go away. it looks awful under make-up, it actually just accentuates it. however, this year was different. a simple suggestion by the esthetician to use a wash cloth during cleansing has prevented that pesky winter skin this year. it really worked. she instructed to use a new clean cloth every time which i thought was kind of a pain because who has that many wash cloths? so i strayed from her instruction for a couple of nights because i ran out of clean wash cloths and what happened? an irritating scaley patch appeared. bleck. the crazy thing is that as soon as i started using a wash cloth again, the dry spot went away the next day. i’ve been using a wash cloth religiously ever since and my skin has been in tip top shape.
