Dry skin…pesky dry skin! Ugh, I’ve dealt with eczema since I was a kid and guess what? My lovely hormones have kicked it into high gear this winter season. I haven’t really had to use a steroid cream/ointment in a very long time…and I really don’t want to take the chance. I’m left with seemingly few options until things get back to normal…
In the meantime, I moisturize with castor oil. Yes, that’s an understatement…I slather it all over from my face to my feet as soon as I get out of the shower. I’ve given up on my daily makeup routine because I can’t take the chance of another breakout. My new make up routine…castor oil and eyebrow filler. When I’m feeling fancy, I may apply mascara.
I use castor oil on my hair now too…it’s all purpose these days. Everyone goes on and on about coconut oil, but it just doesn’t feel thick enough for my level of dry skin or hair. Bean’s dad has helped me with my battle by keeping me stocked with the biggest bottle of castor oil I’ve seen…I’m on bottle number 2 and counting.
