    Lou Paradise, president and chief of research at Topical BioMedics, makers of Topricin Pain Relief and Healing Cream says that consumer should be mindful of using products that contain chemicals that can irritate or cause allergic reactions in dry skin and suggests that changing a few hygiene habits and products used can help alleviate the pain from dry skin and offers some insightful simple tips for keeping your skin soft and supple during the coldest winter months.

    -Drink lots of water. Keeping hydrated helps plump skin up and makes it healthier.

    -Choose gentle, natural moisturizers. Common ingredients found in many commercial moisturizers include contain petrolatum and silicone, which are not ideal for skin, can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in some people and can exacerbate dryness over time, as well as allowing your skin to absorb their irritating and potentially toxic ingredients. Look for moisturizing ingredients like aloe vera, cocoa butter and oatmeal.

    -Skip harsh soaps. The soap you’re using – even if it says ‘gentle’ on the package – might be leaching your skin of its lipids. All-natural, oiled-based cleansers like castile soap are a better choice for dry skin.

    -Shower in lukewarm water. Long, hot showers and baths are tempting when the temperatures drop, but hot water is hard on your skin and strips it of its natural oils.

    -Don’t rub! After bathing or showering, quickly and gently pat the skin partially dry with a towel.

    -Lock in the moisture. Within three minutes of getting out of the after apply a moisturizer to seal the water in the skin so it stays hydrated longer. (Topricin is an excellent moisturizer and can be applied many times a day as needed with no fear of overuse or interference with medication.)

    -Exfoliate regularly. Help your body shed the dead skin cells that can build up visibly when your skin is dry. Use a loofah or body scrub made with coarse ingredients to buff your skin so it becomes soft and smooth.

    -Use a humidifier. Increase the humidity level of air of your home and workplaces, if possible and consider adding a humidifier to the central heating system of your home. (If you use a portable humidifier, make sure to use it in your bedroom at night)

    -Don’t forget to use sunscreen. It is just as easy to get sunburn in February as it is in July. Slater on a natural sunscreen and you’ll prevent damage and dryness.

    Topricin is available in convenient 2-ounce the ($16.95) and is just the right size to store in a purse, briefcase, backpack, first aid kit, glove compartment or sports bag. The products is also available in two larger sizes: 4-ounce jar ($24.95) and 8-ounce bottle ($39.95)

    New @Maybelline Dream Nude Airfoam

    I have been using Maybelline’s Dream Matte Mousse foundation for a very long time. Being a beauty blogger, I have to opportunity to use and try a ton of products and foundations and this Maybelline seem to work best for my skin type and looks the best in photos. The texture it gives my skin is flawless, matte with a soft glow. Having a ‘go-to’ product makes your beauty routine and packing when traveling much easier!


    When I saw the new renditions of this product like the liquid and now the foam I had to test it out. The Dream part is definitely real but this foam business is another story. You must work really quickly as soon as you pump it out of the bottle. Or the air will make it a sad blob. It comes in 12 shades to get 2 or 3 just to be safe.

    As you can see the coverage is sheer and it looks extremely natural and blends easily into your skin without looking ‘fake’. I use the Honey Beige (darker) in the summer and the Pure Beige (lighter) in the winter. It is lightweight enough for you to wear over your moisturizer or even a primer.

    It is a cool product once you get the hang of how to use it!  I got it for under $12 at a drugstore so it is definitely a steal.

    Download this Game: Subway Surfer

    I am sooooo addicted to this game. I play it everyday on my way to work and it makes my 40 min commute a breeze. The best part is when the real subway jerks and jolts and you feel like you are really in the game. I also love this game because Jake is so cute and I totally dig his skateboard.

    The premise of this game is that Jake is spray painting graffiti onto subway trains and the guard sees him, blows the whistle and starts chasing him with a dog. By the way, the dog looks just like Jacob. I love him.

    There are daily challenges, coin collecting magnet, super sneakers, hover board and even a super head start jet pack. Even though there are tons of characters you can download, my favorite is still Jake.  Great idea for a Halloween costume next year maybe!

    You can download Subway Surfers By Kiloo here

    Christmas Treats from @Planetdog1997

    For the 12 days of Christmas, there are great stocking stuffers from Planet Dog. My two personal favorites are the Squeaky Snowman Buddy and the Orbee-Tuff Mint. Jacob loves the snowman and sleeps with it every night. The Mint toy bounces and is incredibly cute just like the classic candy we all love.

    These toys are available on http://www.planetdog.com and your local pet shop.
