With all the scrubbing and exfoliation comes dryness and if this is prolonged, cracks! Especially now. No moisture. no mercy!
These are tried, tested and true- even the smelly one ( you'll find out soon)

Body:
Vaseline- Need I say more, its been around for yeahs and is so cheap, its comparative value is about a penny per use!
Bag Balm- This stuff smells really bad, like fresh leather smell. Fortunately, that's the only downside to this product. It works miracles and hydrates like no other. Word of caution- just mix it with your favorite fragrant go-to lotion and you should be fine.
Hands:
C.O.Bigelow Rose Salve and or Smith's Rosebud Salve- You can use these pretty much everywhere, but I love what they do to my hands and the soft scent of rose. I go through these like a can of Fresca. Also a great lip gloss too!
Face:
There's a great variety for sure, but since I'm on the oily in 2 seconds side- here are some of my faves to break the ice and refreshen the face.
Caudalie's Grape Water- Spritz this on before makeup and its refreshing. The water just sits and leaves a little halo but the application of your concealor, blush, eye cream will feel so great.
Feet:
Pink by Victoria's Secret Foot Lotion- yes, I could have gone with the minty smelling stuff here but decided to give something "clean" a try. VS has introduced its Pink line with "100% vegan ingredients" and is "Made in the U.S.A." Get out of town!
Drink!: Moisturize from the inside out as well, this helps in maintaining skin balance and naturally hydrate you.
First off- I'm not a fan of bottled water, so to help me with my "boring ol' water" problem I broil water with mint leaves and refridge it then when its cool I add those Crystal light Lemondae packs. Tickles the tongue I tell you!

Vaseline is the best thing ever! There's so many uses for it. I use it under my facial moisturizer, I also use it as a lotion. It really keeps skin protected & moisturized. So worth it!
I've never heard of grape water. Where can I purchase that?

You can get the Caudalie Grape Water from Sephora but some pharmacies or apothocaries carry it too!
Rose Water is really good as well..forgot to include that.
I am going out to buy rosebud salve TODAY. and I LOVE your "I go through it like a can of Fresca" - I died laughing. In fact, that's what lit the fire under me to go out and buy the salve!
