For when my skin gets really bad though, I use Aquaphor. It's more like a vaseline (it's for baby's diaper rashes) but it's amazing. my old boss reccommended it to me when I had "cold-nose" and i put a little dab on and immediately my dry cracked nose was healed. it's amazing. it lasts forever too. the 3 oz. tube i bought my senior year of college (2003/4) is just running out now. they don't sell it here so my friend is bringing me some when she visits. <BR/><BR/>......end commercial for aquaphor.Macooshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18323525845078246465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-54618856253551589712007-03-18T21:02:00.000-08:002007-03-18T21:02:00.000-08:00Bare Minerals!
