skin so dry

in all the time i've been obsessed with beauty products--and that's pretty much been my whole life, i can't believe that i am just now discovering Avon. where have i been? and more important: why wasn't i using this brand? right now there are a lot of Avon products in the rotation--and i am loving them all.

but first thing's first: the weather is getting colder so the office and apartment building are blasting the heat (note to office and apartment building, it's not THAT cold so STOP IT--today it was in the 60s!), which is taking its toll on my skin. i feel parched and dehydrated no matter how much water i drink--guzzle, actually.

it's making me seriously angry.

right now i am in such bad shape that simple lotion is not enough--because i like the scented lotions and i know that these are always a little less emollient. so i've had to take it to the next level. i'm layering Avon's Skin So Soft Bath Oil under lotion to lock in moisture--plus, oil has to be more hydrating. i also like bare escentuals dry oil spray, but i ran out (sidenote: i never run out of ANYTHING so i must have really liked this), which sounds kind of sad, but is actually good because then i probably wouldnt have tried the Skin So Soft and discovered that i love it.

after only three days on the Skin So Soft regimen, i think i can safely revert back to lotion, which is great--because really, do i need another step?
