(sorry this is long)
I use Mosturel on my face...mosturizes but doesn't leave that 'greasey' feeling. I have used Jergens on the rest of my body for 20 yrs. I have always used some moisture on my face since I was in my teens. I also got my daughters and son moisturizing in their early teens too. To this day, they all do it very religiously.
I also take "FLAX SEED OIL CAPSULES" puchased at where health products are sold. I fed Flax seed years ago to my horses, the vet saying back then is the best thing for their skin and hair. A few years ago when our Yellow Lab started having a dry itchy skin problem and I didn't like the drugs the vet had him on, made him very dosile and gaining weight I remembered what I gave the horses....Flax Seed. I bought the capsules, the YL takes one a day..and hasn't had any skin problems since. So my thinking was.....well if it is good for the animals, it must be good for me, after all I puchase them in a people drugstore LOL....I stared taking them. Not only has it helped my skin, and believe me when I say that, I have moved from the west coast of Canada to here in London, Ontario, where in the summer is very humid and A/C's going full blast, and in the winter is very dry. My skin isn't flakey and dry, I don't itch, my skin is always soft. Much much softer and moistured than if I was just moisturizing from the outside....The bonus to taking Flax Seed Oil Capsules is my hair is thicker. I have very limp and worse than baby fine hair...it is shiney, heathly looking, feeling and much much better than it was before the flax. Moistureizer works on the outside. Flax works from the inside out.
