A Fight for Hydration

I think I have a tendency to over dramatize my titles... But this is serious. I'm freaking out. I feel like a dry little shell of a human being. I know that it's a mixture of a few things that are making me feel this way, so I thought I'd give you a run down of them before I told you the items I've been slathering all over my parched body. Holy run on sentence...

First thing-with wind chill, it's been around negative thirty to negative ten for the past week or so. I don't spend much time outside, but with those temps, there's no moisture in the air. Second-I've started a new skin care routine. It's a lot more... thorough(?) than before, and though my skin looks great, it's feeling the effects. Last-I don't drink enough water. I've been obsessed with sugary drinks recently. I never drink sodas or anything like that because I don't enjoy carbonated beverages, but you'll never catch me just drinking plain water. I'm always drinking my zero cal lemon aid vitamin waters(they're SO GOOD!).

The combination of those three things cannot be good for my body. As a result, I've moisturized my face like four times today... looks like I'm going to make it through that eye cream faster than I thought... I'm even such a weirdo that I've brought all my products onto my nightstand incase I feel the need to add another layer.

FACE:

Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion +

This isn't a greasy moisturizer at all, in my opinion, though it may be a bit much for those with oily skin. It's for very dry to dry combination, and I would classify my self a dry to dry combination. This stuff is great to put under a face of makeup because it soaks in quickly and doesn't leave a residue unless you really pack it on. It's also hypoallergenic, which is never a bad thing, especially when my face is feeling so sensitive.

Bobbi Brown Hydrating Eye Cream

This one would work with any skin type, I think. It's not my favorite eye cream ever, but it's the one that I have right now so I'm using it up. This one soaks in relatively quick, unless you have very oily lids and under eyes. You need a really small amount of this, but Ive been using too much in my desperation...

Smith's Rosebud Salve

This stuff is a lot like Vaseline. It's thick and greasy and doesn't soak in quickly, which is great for lip purposes.The most moisturizing products are usually like this because there's not very much, or any alcohol in at all. I talked about it in this post.

BODY:

The Body Shop Body Butter in Ginger Sparkle

I hate the name ginger sparkle. I think it's supposed to smell like gingerbread cookies, but it smells like lemons from up close and sort of like a bouquet of tulips or something from a far. Quite summery, wouldn't you say? Anyway, this is just such a deliciously thick and creamy product. Sometimes the consistency of body butters vary, I find. Like the mango one isn't very thick at all and the oat one(is there an oat one? it's in a tan container and has grain things on the front) is really thick, but not so smooth. This one is perfect. And my mom(I always steal her stuff...) picked it up on offer for five dollars when they're usually twenty. Bargain!
Alright, that's all I have to say. Thanks for reading! What are your favorite moisturizing products to use as of the moment? Have you tried any of these?
