For me especially, I travel a lot, and with the weather change and everything, my skin gets dehydrated very fast.
I've noticed that maybe my skin isn't as soft as it used to be when I was a younger. It's just not there anymore. I travel so much, and my skin gets so dry.
Bio-Oil is the best scar and stretchmark prevention/remedy. I swear by the entire range of Vea Oleo - their lip balm is great. I use the one in tubes for my son Otto's winter skin dryness.
Us brown-skinned girls get ashy if we don't moisturize.
I went on Accutane, which is very strong. Your sebaceous glands dry up, you can't exercise, and you have very dry lips. But it was a miracle, and it worked.
Everybody's skin is different, so you need to find products that work for your skin type. I use a lot of facial oils, as mine can get very dry.
If you're dehydrated, you will automatically lose the glow in your skin.
I have good skin, but it's dry - drier than you would think, considering I have Latin skin. It's fairly transparent, too, so I'm constantly trying to give it nourishment and moisture, but nothing really holds.
