What We Shouldn’t Miss..

Living in Manila, the heat gets to you.  It’s so humid, you forego applying lotion to your skin.  Which is a big no-no.  Our skin ages over time and we need to moisturize it. Living in the States I noticed I applyed lotion religiously, because I saw how dry my skin was.  And the weather in the States is very different from Manila.  It’s more dry, not so humid.

I remember not really applying lotion to my skin because I noticed once I did apply it, I’d sweat more than I usually do, without applying it.  But I forget lotion is what keeps our skin looking fresh, glowy, soft, smooth, and provides it with the nutrients that it needs.

According to About.com - When choosing a moisturizer, the perfect one will fit these 3 requirements: It smells best, feels best & goes on without feeling greasy on the skin. It should never irritate or burn your skin.

I usually switch lotions from time to time, depending what my mood wants to smell.  For now I use Jergens Healing Skin lotion and Neutrogena Body Lotion.  It’ll take me some time to figure out what other body lotions are out there that are truly worth using.  I’ll get to it!  When I feel ridiculously dry though, I go for the Body Butter
