The Dreaded Dryness - 14 -

        So spring is finally here and you know what that means?! It means allergies, itchy eyes, runny noses, and dryness! Well, maybe it's just me but recently my hands and lips have been awfully dry for some reasons. I absolutely hate it! I constantly have to reapply chap stick when it runs out and I have to constantly reapply hand lotion whenever I wash my hands! How annoying ): Is this just happening to me or is some other people also? Everyone knows the feeling of it! Your lips start to sting and your hands get really rough and cracked. But the question is, how can we escape the dryness?! The question is simply to moisturize. I know it seems really tedious and time consuming, but would you rather have your lips and hands silky soft or dry and crusty? It's your choice!

         Personally, I would go for the soft and silky because it feels amazing. But I have to admit that I skip the lotion sometimes ... or many times. That's probably why my lips and hands are so dry! But you know, people get lazy. Well no more! Everyone, we all have to moisturize, some more than others. It's something we have to do so our skin looks soft and healthy. All it needs is a little tender loving care.

        What's amazing about moisturizing is that almost everyday house hold items can help you achieve that soft skin that you want. HONEY, AVOCADO, and OLIVE OIL can rejuvenate your dry skin by just mashing a piece of avocado in a small bowl, add a few drops of honey, along with a spoon full of olive oil, and VOILA! You have a nice set of baby-soft hands. Other things like lemon juice, oats, vinegar, bananas, kiwi, strawberries, cucumbers, tomato juice, yogurt. whole milk, cream, green tea, and sugar! Look at all those things you can buy at a GROCERY store to help your skin get to the softest it can be! However, there are lotions you can get at places like Walgreens, CVS, and Walmart that can help get your skin to the place that it really needs to be. Also, those kind of moisturizers smell really good, too (: Secretly, I love lotions that smell like Shea Butter! YES SIR-EE! 

        So guys, please don't be like me and MOISTURIZE YOUR HANDS AND LIPS! No wants to be dry, crusty, and ashy when the weather is beautiful and you're showing more skin (;
