As the very cold winds of Beijing whip around our faces, my cheeks and lips definitely are suffering from serious windburn! What is astounding and I never expected is that the skin on my legs, which are covered by a thick pair of jeans, are also severely damaged by the cold.
I was wondering why I was having so much surface pain on my legs until we got back home and as I was changing, saw the raw skin that had erupted due to the single digit weather and incessant cold winds. This was when I realized I didn’t have enough lotion- I’d be using one bottle a day! I was also reminded of what my friend, a Dermatologist, said: “lotion, cream, ointment.” That’s the order of use for severity of skin dryness.
Guess who has a huge bottle of cream and ointment next to her dresser drawer now?
