I am normally ok with winter. I normally don't have a problem with the cold and I quietly suffer through it all season. This winter is different, this winter has been miserable. I am so tired of the cold. I'm a true Texan, I love the heat and the sun and I just can't get used to the cold this year. I have been battling dry skin on my legs since October. I've had to completely change my normal winter skin care routine. Pregnant women should not have to shave their legs daily in the winter. They just shouldn't! I have, however, fallen in love with a few products.
I've been taking warm, but not too warm, bubble baths and Mr. Bubble is the best there is. He wouldn't have been around for over 50 years if he wasn't hands down the best bubble bath.
I use Tree Hut Shea Sugar Scrub in Coconut Lime. This smells amazing. It instantly takes me to a warm summer beach with a non virgin pina colada in my hand. It also removes the dead skin. I only use this once or twice a week and it really seems to help.
Dove Winter Care soap is incredible. It smells good and is really moisturizing. I usually prefer bar soap, but this stuff has been a life saver this winter. Its so thick and creamy I use it in replace of a normal shave gel.
I use Neutrogena hand cream on my legs when I get out of the shower. It is very greasy but my dry legs just drink it up and it helps keep the itchiness at bay. I almost never use this on my hands because my hands are hardly ever dry. Don't let the hand cream name deter you, if you have dry skin anywhere I would recommend this product.
When I am done with this ridiculous skin care routine for my legs I hop into a pair of Old Navy pajama pants. The ones I have are non maternity and still really comfortable on a growing belly. They are 100% cotton so they don't get too warm under thick blankets at night.
My fingers are crossed I only have to keep this up for the next few weeks before winter leaves Texas for the year. In Austin we keep getting teaser weekends when its 70 out and the sun is shining. I can't wait until that is the everyday norm again.
