I love my Doctor!
This past winter and working in superheated dry air has really taken a toll on my skin. While I still protest that I have no wrinkles, at times I have actually used an antibiotic ointment to heal areas that actually cracked under the strain! I mentioned this on a recent doctor's visit, and she asked me if I used a moisturizer. I told her 'yes', and mentioned the brand. To roughly quote her, "As a doctor, I can tell you that is a good brand, and is one I'd be inclined to recommend. As a person, I'd prefer not to add petroleum products to my body." Her next question confused me for a moment: "As a rule, do you feel hot or cold?" For me, the answer was quick - HOT! I have little tolerance for higher temperatures - perhaps it's from those years living in the North Country of New York state, when my blood MUST have thickened a tad (I distinctly remember it hitting 35F - BELOW ZERO!!!). She told me to buy some sunflower oil. If I had said "cold", she would have recommended extra virgin olive oil... Apparently different oils have different healing properties. Wait a sec - I remember mentioning that before... Well, DUH! She was giving me my own advice - some that I apparently had forgotten.

Don't let the photo fool you - it is absolutely clear. A 12.75 oz bottle at my local grocer cost less than seven dollars - ladies (and gents), please compare THAT price to what you pay for your current moisturizer. And a little goes a long way... See how little is missing from this bottle? I've been using it daily, not only on my face, but upper body, arms and hands as well - for at least THREE WEEKS! Legs and feet are getting pampered my next day off... In just a couple days I couldn't believe the difference! Her advice was to massage it in before taking a shower (and to only use soap on the 'smelly' places wink )- but I was SO dried out that I've been using it AFTER a shower with great success. NO scent, absorbs in seconds, NO oily feeling... OH - and you can use it as a shaving agent - no need for those chemicals to dry you out further. Thank you, Dr. T! Try it - if you don't like it, you can always use the oil in cooking. Absolutely NO waste with this suggestion.
