apply moisturizer when your skin is still moist – it traps the water in and keeps your skin from drying out
mix equal parts olive oil and granulated sugar for an inexpensive facial scrub
Use face cream each day. Look for a cream with at least a SPF15 in it for daytime.
Thanks so much for this giveaway and Happy Holidays.
Summer or winter always use a good SPF sunscreen when you are going to be outdoors. It helps prevent fine lines,wrinkles and age spots.
Thank you so much for the chance to win.

Exfoliate dry skin on your feet using a pumice right after you bathe then follow with lotion to keep your feet soft.

My grandmother had skin softer than a new babys bum.How did she do it? She cleaned her face every night of her life with Ponds Cold Cream.Then she put just a dab(her words) all over her face and hands and went straight to bed.You would not believe her soft skin when she passed away at 86.I can not smell Ponds with out thinking about her!
Vitamin E oil. It’s great for your face, body and lips.
Drink plenty of water. Hydration from within.
Pure Coconut oil is great for your skin.
When I see a pimply starting to form, I dab a tiny bit of Desitin (yes, diaper cream) on it. It dries it out and makes it go away immediately!
don’t smoke.you will have fewer wrinkles.
Stay out of the sun
My skin care tip is to use vaseline on your lips to keep them moist overnight in winter!
I keep a tube of face moisturizer on my keychain!
Do not use facial cleanser TOO often! It will strip your skin of natural oils.
Drink plenty of water even in the winter. Thanks for the chance.

Never wear makeup to bed. It’s awful for your skin AND your bed linens.

I have combination skin. So, several times a day, I clean my face off with rubbing alcohol followed by a good moisturizer. This way my skin stays clean and not apt to clog the pores.
Wash and moisturize morning and night faithfully.
Moisturize daily!

I try to use lotion on my face and hands to keep them mosturized.

I use Apricot scrub to keep my skin healthy and it stimulates the senses.
I don’t have a chance to ski living in Louisiana but I would think that using a good moisturizer is a must to keep your skin from drying out.
Always apply sun screen when outdoors, and drink a lot of water to keep your hydrated which helps your skin. Thanks.
My skin always look the best when I drink my 8 glasses of water per day and get some type of exercise.
Honey does wonders. When I shower, I exfoliate with a homemade mixture of brown sugar, almond meal, and honey (3/4 cup, 1/2 cup, and 1/4 cup respectively), mixed with sweet almond oil. I slather some on while showering, then wash with soap afterward. And when I’m done, my skin is amazingly soft.
Drink plenty of water and get some sleep! Thanks for the chance!
rub fresh lemon juice on skin , leave on for a few minuets and rinse to help balance out blotchy skin tones. For age spots use the juice applied with a q-tip but dont rinse
