Dry

I have discovered a new side effect of the cold weather...

Horribly dry skin!

Even my normally oily skin is feeling dry, tight, and uncomfortable.

Not being used to my skin feeling this dry, I have no idea how to deal with it.  The obvious solution would be to slather on plenty of moisturizer. That's exactly what I have been doing to my dry, itchy arms and legs. 

My face is a different story.

I'm nervous about putting more moisturizer on my face because in my previous experiences along those lines it has led to the development of out-of-control blemishes. Or a hyper rashy reaction resulting from my sensitive skin.  And that is something I would prefer to avoid.

I did have to give in and put some lotion on the face last night. And this morning.  Using as little as I possible could to get some relief from that uncomfortably tight feeling I was experiencing.

What's a girl to do?  It's difficult enough to find reasonably priced products to use on my oily - yet sensitive - skin.  Now, I have to cope with this dryness on top of everything else!
