I’m going to tell you how to combat dry skin easily with Neutrogena Body Oil! Oh and did I mention it’s Neutrogena Body Oil’s 50^th Anniversary! So time to celebrate! 

 What you Need To Know 

Old man winter takes all the humidity out of the air which means he’s sucking it out of our skin too. Elements of wind and rain, age and health only add to the dryness of our skin. Our clothes can also attribute to the dryness. 

Time For Back To Basics

Here are some easy tips you can take to get your skin feeling soft and silky while not taking up too much time.

Shower – Although a hot shower feels amazing, it’s a moisture sucker for our skin. Singing your favorite songs while standing in a hot shower may make you happy but it’s stripping natural oils out of your skin

Soap – Soap is not all the same. Some soap is very harsh on your skin and it may clean the oils right out. Try a moisturizing soap like Replenishing Shower and Bath Gel by Neutrogena

Lock In Moisture – When drying off do not rubbed that towel all over and dry completely. Rather pat your skin and leave it a little damp. This is the moment when you actually get to lock in moisture so you don’t want to miss your window. Apply Neutrogena Body Oil, it’s light sesame oil formula instantly absorbs into skin, sealing in moisture without a greasy after-feel. Neutrogena Body Oil is dermatologist-tested and protects against moisture loss. You will notice softer, silkier, smoother skin within seconds. You can dress right away so slip on your favorite comfy outfit and enjoy your skin. 

It’s as simple as it gets, a product that stands the test of time. Fragrance free formula also available.

Tip- For added moisture I also apply a little before bed.
