Apply Curél Hydra Therapy Wet Skin Moisturizer Right Out of the Shower

Most people find the squeaky sound of fingernails on chalkboard extremely irritating; well, that’s how I feel about dry skin! I have teamed up with Curél Skincare to touch on the issue and how I put an end to dry skin for good with the revolutionary Curél Hydra Therapy Wet Skin Moisturizer. If you have been embarrassed more than once by your dry, itchy skin, don’t be! 75% of us have felt the same way. I live in high-desert Eastern Washington where everyone suffers from dry skin all year long. For me, my hands, legs, and feet are most affected. I love sandals but my feet are so embarrassing dry and rough that I revert to only wearing closed shoes in the summer and spring. The winter is like a water-sucking vampire! The worst part is we exacerbate the dryness by turning up the heat in our homes and our cars, using those cozy electric blankets, and taking long, hot showers.

How I Put An End to Dry Skin with Daily Use

Anyone who knows me knows that I am the lotion queen. I lather on moisturizer after I shower, before bed, and I even continue to moisturize throughout the day, particularly after washing my hands. I am not kidding when I tell you that I can’t stand dry skin! It literally gives me goosebumps. I have probably tried more than 50 types of products in search of one that actually works. From my experience, the most effective moisturizers are not necessarily the most expensive, but they are usually petroleum-based or contain ceramides. I tend to personally shy away from petroleum, as it can be a bit greasy. And do your research as some ‘moisturizers’ can actually cause your skin to dry out more.

On that same note – hydrate! Drink lots of water! I have found that carrying a refillable water bottle has been a good reminder for me to stay hydrated throughout the day.

I was really excited to try a free sample of the Curél Hydra Therapy Wet Skin Moisturizer with Advanced Ceramide Complex. Ceramide restores the skin’s natural moisture and are vital to protect it against harm from harsh environmental factors (including heat, wind, low humidity, high altitude, etc). My boyfriend teases me because I always walked around with big white streaks on the back of my legs from not rubbing in the lotion enough. With this product, all I have to do is apply straight out of the shower to wet skin BEFORE drying off. [JC1] The magical water-activated formula instantly sinks into my wet skin that I barely even have to rub it in. Being a lotion enthusiast, I can honestly say I AM obsessed!! I even brought the bottle with me abroad to Thailand back in January. It is perfect for my problem areas, especially my feet because it doesn’t leave them feeling oily. I am definitely a fan for life! Cheers to end of dry skin, and the beginning of so much more like wearing sandals, showing off those legs, and enjoying life outside!
