Three days in and my skin is screaming for the humidity Louisiana is known for.
In order to win the war against dry skin, you must be armed for battle.
My show and tell beauty regimen to defeat dry skin delivers soothing results and moisture rich relief without leaving an oily residue on the face, hands, body and feet.
Here is my list of the essentials of winter care.
Options make the world go round, so the new go-to hand lotions making my essentials of winter care list is Love Beauty and Planet Rose Hand Cream for daytime use, and Burt’s Bees Almond and Milk Hand Cream for nighttime.
Love Beauty and Planet Rose Hand Cream smells so good, and the coverage is just right for day.
Always aware of the importance of staying true to the all things house that make a home topic, let’s look at ways to pamper and protect wood furniture, wood cabinets, and wood doors from drying out due to dry indoor air.
Oil-based wood conditioners are the essentials for winter care needed for protecting wood furniture, wood cabinets, and wood doors from drying out.
Applying a furniture oil such as Howard Feed-N-Wax or a quality lemon oil for fine wood penetrates wood and helps to retain moisture.
I do not suggest using an oil soap, wax or furniture polish that contains silicone.
Silicone based products promote build up and yellow discoloration, and therefore are not recommended.
Placement is also a consideration in preventing drying and fading.
Although often unavoidable due to design and space constraints, it is best not to place furniture near heating vents (drying) or in direct sunlight (drying and fading).

Don’t forget about pampering and protecting your leather home furnishings.
Leather is a natural product.
In order to maintain the natural beauty of the hide, I condition leather furnishings with leather conditioner at the start of winter.
Using a good leather conditioner will keep the leather soft and supple and the natural beauty of the patina.
Leather Honey Leather Conditioner is my number one choice of leather conditioners. It is non toxic, water repellent, controls mildew and leaves no oily residue.
I do recommend consulting the furnishings care label before using any conditioning product.
Pamper and protect with the essentials of winter care.
