Dry winter skin? Sugar it up.

My friend Becca is a professional makeup artist and she has a bunch of great tips for dry skin.

Read about them on her blog here.

One of her great tips is to take the crappy moisturizer that you never use but are saving for some reason (I have at least 3 of these that I've tried and rejected or thought were the wrong weight for my skin) and mix some of it with brown sugar and rub into your face.

Sugar is a humectant, which means it attracts water to it. That's why sugar gets sticky instead of staying dry when you spill a soda or have a giant lump of sugar in the box instead of the grains it came in. The more you know.
Anyway, if you put it on your face, it will attract water to your face.
That's the whole deal behind the Fresh Sugar products as well.
