My Secret To Healthy Skin & Beauty

healthy skin

I would like to start by saying I hate for my skin to feel dry. I have to keep something within arm’s reach to keep my skin moisturized.

When it gets cold and the wind starts whipping around your face, your skin is extremely vulnerable to becoming dried out and even damaged by the cold.

Vaseline is, by far, one of the best products to lock the moisture into your skin and keep it safe from the harsh, dry air.

Many of us remember being slathered with Vaseline by our parents, going to school with a shining, slippery face.
