Although I have moisturized more than usual, spreading the cream after every bath and shower, the winter was stronger than my efforts, so my skin, especially face, is getting flaky.

Which I hate.

The most troublesome is the area around my eyes, where they tell you not to put heavy moisturizers. Well, this has proven wrong, hasn't it? Just another proof you can't go by everything you reed in those glossy magazines, you have to try it out to believe it!

So anyhow, I started a new face regime that seems to be working. First I exfoliate my face with Benefit Honey snap out of it, and follow with 10 minutes of face sauna, which prepares my face and opens the pores for the next steps.

I slap on a pack of Garnier total comfort rich mask to my face and listen to music for 20 minutes, while the mask is working its wonders. If your skin feels very dry and uncomfortable, if it feels tight and is prone to redness and rough patches, Total Comfort Rich Mask from Garnier Skin Naturals is the ideal solution. says Garnier, and Oh My God are they right! Another thing I love about this product is that you needn't wash your face afterwards, just wipe it with a paper tissue.

Also, I have purchased the DHC Concentrated Eye Cream, and tossed the gel I used before. No more flaky eye area!
