Hello sweet Gorgeous!

Have you been having a challenge with the weather changing in your area?

I know it is in mine!

I take great care of my skin, yet I still am getting dry cracked heals and tough as leather cuticles!

So I am so happy to have received a sample of the Curel Intensive Healing: daily advanced ceramide therapy.

It's a thick rich cream inside of this huge tub for only $9.99 at the Walmarts and mass retailers.

For my natural girls-yes, this product does contain mineral oil and petrolatum. But for those gals who have thick cracks in the skin and need to make a moisture barrier to allow the skin to heal over night while wrapped in a sock-yep honey, this is the product for you.

I like it-especially a thick layer on my heels in a sock as I go to bed. I rub it into my cuticles and nails before I slip on my garden gloves. It works for me,and friend, if you have the dry tearing and tough cuticles like me, you just may too!

Hi! Are you and your family watching the Olympics like mine?

 I am so beyond crazy proud of all of the United States of America athletes! Go team USA! Now-as I tri train, I have been in chlorine more than I would like to say-in fact I got a weird rash from my time in the chlorine.

Alas-there is a simple solution:

1. When doing alot of swimming or ever using a public swimming pool-rinse immediately, I mean immediately upon getting out of the water. Using soap would really help.

2.Apply a hydrating skin protectant creme. Now for those who don't like petrolatum, this could make you squeamish. Either a petrolatum or zinc based hydrating barrier can help heal the skin from constant chlorine contact.

Or you can wash with a non soap and alkali free cleanser like Sebamed. It's pH 5.5 for healthy skin and I know many a swimmer who has used it to help their swimmer's itch. It has a very light foam and scent and rinses clean. Trust me-after swimmer's itch, it will feel good.
