Thread: Favorite Moisture Masks

My skin has been super dry this winter. What are your favorite masks and moisturizers?

I love Paula Begoun's moisture mask...Skin Recovery Hydrating Treatment. I wear it as a nighttime moisturizer on top of her antioxidant concentrate, and I think my skin looks pretty good for ~mumble mumble~ years old...

pure coconut oil used in tiny amounts after pm showers and in the morning... great stuff

There's a line of products at New Seasons called Suki, I have been using some samples and really like how my skin feels. Go by and stock up on some samples before buying

Also, I've heard great things about coconut oil!

You might want to try a cleanser for sensitive skin too in case yours is too drying...

I've been using the olive oil cleansing method this winter and it's been fabulous. My skin is normally oil in the T zone and dry elsewhere, I pour a little oil into my palms, and rub gently all over my face. Leave for about five minutes then, taking a hot wet flannel (facecloth) I pat the oil off. Trust me, it doesn't leave any oily residue at all, and my skin is left glowing nicely but without any oil. I also notice it keeps my face well moisturised but again, not oily. Any good olive oil will do, and I have also heard you can use coconut oil in the same way.

Yes, I've done this with coconut oil... which reminds me, I need to buy more. :)

Honey! Pure honey is a naturally antibacterial humectant, excellent for hydrating and softening skin. You can use it straight, or mix it with finely ground almonds or oatmeal to create a thick mask which also makes a gentle exfoliant when rinsed off with warm water.
