BURT"S BEES Nourishing LIP BALM with Mango Butter
Now who doesn't love Burt's Bees!? Seriously, this stuff smells and feels amazing! It protects and repairs at the same time and doesn't taste fruity, which I like. Mango seed butter is my new obsession! Here is a list of all the amazing things it does for your skin (way to many for me to mention here!!!).
ORGANIC COCONUT OIL
TIP: I buy mine at a international farmers market where it's much cheaper.
I've used Coconut Oil going on five years and I can't get enough. I substitute butter and cooking oil with it too! Not only is it great in muffins it's a perfect face and body moisturizer for acne prone skin, like mine. It's anti-fungal and anti-bacterial so not only will it NOT clog your pores it prevents and heals blemishes. Another TIP: I only apply it at night because It does feel quite oily on the skin.
NUBIAN HARITAGE: Mango Butter with Shea Oil and Vitamin C
I can't get enough mango butter!!!!.......this stuff feels and smells like HEAVEN! Mango butter heals, protects, increases elasticity and firms the skin... yeah! Check out that list! This brand is hard to find so here's a link to buy.
VITAMIN E
I believe the best and quickest healing product for irritated, chapped skin is pure vitamin E from the capsule. Apply it liberally to the area before bed and wear something cotton (socks, gloves, PJ's). It sticks(!) to the area penetrating and sealing in moisture where you need it most. It also increases blood flow to the cells to speed up the healing process.
JOSIE MARAN 100% PURE ARGAN OIL
This is the most luxurious, lightweight oil I've ever tried! It is rich in vitamin E but isn't sticky, it's quite the opposite - so silky and smooth. It's fast absorbing but at $48 for 1.7 fl oz I use it sparingly. Great for acne, scares, eye area, wrinkles, spit ends and more. It's so lightweight I've even used in to mix cream base foundation into a liquid. 
NIVEA: TOUCH OF SPARKLE with Cream Oil BODY WASH
My skin always feels so much softer when I use a liquid soap over my husbands Dove bar. And what girl doesn't love a little sparkle.....
WATER! WATER! WATER!
OK, so I have to mention it! WATER! We all know what we need it and A LOT of it but sometimes it's good to have a reminder. Right? I'll be honest, I personally do not "enjoy" drinking water or 8 glasses of it in fact but I do love the results. Everything you put on your skin will work more effectively IF you are hydrated from the inside out. Drinking %100, pure, unadulterated, plan water is my number one defense against skin dehydration.(makes since doesn't it).
This was a fun post. Hope it helps,
