It is just way too COLD!!

Happy Winter!!! Ugh!  I don't know about you, but I don't do well in the winter.  I often get asked "Then why don't you move to a warmer climate?"  Sounds easy, right?  Well, how easy would it be for you to pack up and move?  I thought so.

As much as I dislike the winter months, the snow, the blistering wind and so on.....it is just something that I endure for living in the mid-Atlantic.  Basically....it is what it is.

But this isn't a blog about my disdain for winter, but to pass on the importance of taking care of your skin in the winter months.  Regardless of where you live.   My skin tends to be on the dry side anyways, and the winter months intensifies that dryness.  I get red and flaky and itchy.....and it's frustrating when those red, flaky and itchy spots are in hard to reach places!  I know you know what I'm talking about....

I try very, very hard to use only cruelty free products, but in the effort to find a cream to use on my dry skin, I have found it very difficult to find a cruelty free product that works the way I need it to.  (If anyone has a recommendation....I'm all ears!)  A friend had recommended VaniCream, so I thought I'd try it.  Now, I will tell you that I do not have confirmation of this product being cruelty free, but my skin is in desperate need of help, so at this point I will try anything!
 Vanicream Moisturizing Skin Cream for Sensitive Skin - 1 lb pump dispenser
I will say that this has helped my skin tremendously!  It is slowly taking away the burn I feel on my skin and it is easing the flakiness.  I've only been using this for a week and I'm pleased with the results. This product is unscented which is a huge bonus for me because my skin is so sensitive in the winter that even the perfumes in the scented lotions burn my skin!!  I've also been using this on my face and my cheeks are very happy. 

Soooooo.....
Yes, I would recommend this product.  But please know that if I can find a comparable cruelty free product I will make this switch because I can not confirm that VaniCream is cruelty free.


Thanks for stopping by.....stay warm!
