The Last Harvest

I love Fall.  I really do.  Cooler days; chilly nights.  Home made soup.  Pumpkin spice everything.  The list goes on and on.  But it's also bittersweet.  No more fresh tomatoes.  Time to put away the garden tools and drain the hoses.  Cleaning and raking out the garden beds.  I was out this past weekend clearing the beds and picking the last of the veggies.  A nice head of lettuce and a handful of peppers.  And even though I was out there clearing, and not planting, the time in the garden was soothing to my spirit.

Unfortunately, the Fall, and yard work, bring some problems, too.  Like dry skin.  I'm already seeing itchy, scaly patches on my problem areas, and my hands are dry and tight.  Fortunately, I've found a new moisturizer that really takes care of my skin.  Curel Intensive Healing Cream is a new product I've been able to sample, courtesy of the good folks at BzzAgent.  It's wonderful!  It's creamy, smooth, absorbs quickly and easily, and is working wonders on my dry heels and callouses.  Curel Intensive is an amazing hand cream - my hands feel good for hours, even after washing my hands.  I'm already using it on my shins, an area that typically is severely dry over the winter months.  This product is a keeper.  If you suffer from dry, itchy, winter skin, I would recommend you give this product a try.  Be sure to stop back and tell me if you like it.
