Picture this: your alarm goes off. It’s the middle of January, and even though the heat’s on and you’re under three layers of blankets, you are already bracing yourself for the cold. After approximately five to 20 minutes of willing yourself out of bed, you head to your closet, where the only thing that sounds […] More
Blame it on Chicago winters or unfortunate DNA, but it’s a current fact of my life that my skin often feels dry beyond repair. Because of this, I’ll try any lotion or potion to give me even the slightest illusion that my skin produces even a hint of oil (it doesn’t). Overnight masks, serums, extra-strength […] More
