DRY SKIN

Cold and dry air have settled in. Today I had to drag out the heavy-duty tractor grease, bag balm, and emu oil, to keep the largest organ in my body from shriveling and blowing away in the wind.

I can manage with Eucerin and some of the light weight lotions during the summer months. Having a partner to grease my back is a real plus and he gets thanked a lot for that. It's a place I can't reach (can anyone?). Shower water that's hotter than we're told to use just makes it worse.

Greasing down is just another of the morning rituals that takes time. The older we get, the longer the rituals.
