Hot Weather Helpers
The weather here is hot, humid and miserable. I haven’t even yet bothered to venture outside today. Yes, the sun is shining, but it will still be shining after 5 p.m., and I hope it will be slightly cooler. It seems a shame to keep Drake and me cooped up inside, but I find extremes of hot are just as bad as extremes of cold. Yes, one needs less clothing but there’s still hats and sunscreens, so it’s just cover-up of a different type.
I am reminded, though, that the season brings new beauty needs. No longer do I need a rich body lotion. Instead, I use Neutrogena’s body oil, which has a faint, very pleasant sesame scent, and a light, non-greasy texture. To wash off the sunscreen at the end of the day, I take a tepid shower and use Dove’s Cool Moisture body wash. It has a cooling texture and light scent. (I’m also loving the new print ads for Dove’s Campaign for Real Beauty.) Finally, to un-toughen winter feet, there are two department-store creams that do a great job, Philosophy Soul Owner and Fresh Rice Foot Cream. The Foot File takes care of rough skin on heels in a jif.
