aligator skin!

[Guest guest]

my first problems with dry skin were in albuquerque, new mexico - very

dry climate - i was in high school - this is where i first used vaseline

at bedtime, on my legs. in florida i don't recall having as much of a

problem. for years i have just used the cheapest lotions i could find

and used them nightly after baths. dermatologist say that your need to

moisturize every time water touches your skin - water takes moisture out

- lotion, etc. puts it in.

test show that expensive lotions an creams do no better than the

cheapest. just remember - water on - moisture out - lotion on

now that i am OLDER lotion is not enough and i have returned to the

nightly ritual of vaseline on legs.

also, for years i have put vaseline on eyes, lips, and areas that tend

to wrinkle. i am almost 60 and still people have a difficult time

believing i am this OLD - i credit vaseline and also an effort to stay

on the fashion train and not give in to large floral prints and

polyester!!! positive thinking helps too.

when people ask how i stay so young i always tell them it is because i

am single!
