I’m Lovin’ It: How I Beat Dry Skin

2 Feb posted by TidyMom

The other day while I was out running errands, and Instagram and tweeting what I was doing along the way, I happened to mention my secret weapon to battle dry skin ………….

How to beat dry skin

Seems a lot of people were interested, so I thought I’d share with the rest of you! It’s so simple, I never really gave it much thought, but it’s too good NOT to share!

We are pretty tough on our skin and while the Winter is the most notorious for dry skin, but the sun and even our home air conditioners can dry out our skin the rest of the year. I know my feet get super dry in the summer when I’m running around in sandals all the time.

How to Moisturize Dry Skin

shower or bathe in warm but not hot water
BEFORE you dry off, using a nickel size portion of Johnson’s Baby Oil Gel (be sure to use the baby oil GEL, it’s thicker than just baby oil) massage into skin (use more as needed, but don’t over do it)
Towel dry skin, pat don’t rub
Immediately apply Johnson’s Baby Creamy Oil all over skin.

None of this leaves my skin feeling greasy, just soft and smooth and it’s WAY cheaper than some of the other products out there.

I’m a big fan of garlic! I put it in every dish, any chance I get. I use garlic cloves, minced garlic, garlic powder, garlic salt, and now, thanks to Lia Marie’s, I can add garlic butter to my arsenal! Keep reading for a delicious chicken recipe!

Lia Maries spreads

Lia Marie’s is a revolutionary new garlic spread that allows you to enjoy the incomparable taste of fresh, homemade garlic bread anytime, prepared just the way you like it! With it’s unique blend of roasted garlic, natural cheeses, butter, oil and savory seasonings you can experience, not only mouth-watering bread bursting with flavor, but this spread goes way beyond the bread!

Over the next few months, I plan to share a variety of dishes you can serve your family using either of the two varieties of Lia Marie’s spread! From bread, to salad, to pasta and chicken, you’ll wonder how you ever cooked with out it!

Lia Marie's garlic bread

Of course, Lia Marie’s spread is perfect on your favorite bread to serve along side any meal. The first night we tried it was on a loaf of french bread with our spaghetti dinner and it was a big hit! The four of us polished off the entire loaf of bread with dinner that night!

I knew next I would like to try it with chicken. It was really simple and really delicious! I think my husband told me at least four times at dinner that night how much he liked it – no joking! lol It was actually a very simple ‘recipe’ but the Lia Marie’s just kicked it up a notch!
