Ash Be Gone — Five Dry Skin Solutions - Page 3

You can’t be cute and ashy at the same time. Dry, dull, flaky skin needs intense hydration and tender loving care. Check out Madame Noire’s five favorite lotions and potions to pamper your skin.

After bathing, slather on Body Jelly from Carol’s Daughter. The thick, nourishing concoction contains sweet almond oil, a yummy treat for dry skin in need of moisture. Petroleum-free, it’s a great product for Vaseline junkies. a 15-ounce jar costs $15.

For a rich, thick, luxurious treatment, smooth on Kiehl’s Crème de Corps, which contains beta carotene, cocoa butter and sesame oil. It’s a little pricey, but the $70 1 liter pump is a better value than a bunch of cheap, watery lotions that aren’t doing it for your skin. A little goes a long way and it’s best to wait for a hot minute before dressing when you use this one.

Jane Carter Solution’s Nourish & Shine which is made with shea butter, fruit oils and vitamins is a hair product that works on skin, too. It’s great on legs and elbows and costs $22.

We couldn’t forget Palmer’s Cocoa Butter. Try the Skin Therapy Oil with Vitamin E to put flaky skin in it’s place. Just a little bit massaged on trouble spots does the trick. It’s $10.59 at drugstore.com.
