Shari & Flow: FLOW: Moisturise Moisturise Moisturise

Recently I wrote an essay for uni on the usage of male cosmetics, this has inspired me to write blogs that appeal to both the guys and the girls. I'll start with the best thing you can do for your skin this winter

MOISTURISE

The most helpful thing you can do to your skin this winter is reward it with some moisture what ever you skin type. The winter weather can be as harsh as the summer sun (not that we get much in England). The drying effect of wind including air conditioning can accelerate aging and is something that can sooo easily be avoided!
Often I’ve heard people brag about how dry there skin can get! Why that’s an awful thing, we have no qualms in indulging in some chocolate, good music and champagne for the more decadent so why not indulge and lather your skin in some feel good?
My skin is my biggest advert & I can’t express the warm fussy feeling I get when people compliment it saying “you have such lovely skin,” so I in the morning I spend time (approx an hour or two) grooming my skin into perfect condition. The number 1 rule being moisture & lots of it, let it melt into my skin do a little dance & about an hour later I’m ready for the day.

My number 1 moisture products being

Body;

Palmer's Cocoa butter- the spread ability being its no1 selling point, the scent has the marmite factor you either love it or hate it.

Dove Body Lotion – This products lightness is fantastic for people who have natural oily skin, it has a fresh scent and is good if you’re on the go as it works quickly

Crème de la mer-

Hand& Feet;-Yes I use hand creams on my feet! The similarity in skin texture of both hands and feet means hand creams work wonderfully on your feet in a way ordinary moisturisers can not..

Avon Planet Spa (African shea butter) hand cream- it has a slight scent and gives intense moisture without a shine.
