I don't know about you but here in Ohio the weathers been great...but I feel it in the air that the icy cold will be here soon (to soon), so we must all get ready.
things to always keep in your purse during the cold season.

Chapstick: I have heard myths about chapstick being addictive. "Chapstick has alcohol to purposely keep lips dry for the user to buy more hopping that, that chapstick will help their poor suffering chapped lips." I do believe this has a truth to it, let me explain. I do not think someone could be addicted (well maybe if that person is like me and a makeup junkie and is addicted to it all), but truthfully alcohol is present in many chapstick (alcohol is used as a preservative), very little, but that doesn't make it addictive and it doesn't really make lips more chapped. For some, alcohol can and may irritate, making it harder to recover from dry, flaky lips. The best way to keep form getting chapped lips is to use an all natural lip balm or chapstick. Look for chapstick or lip balm that has no alcohol in the ingredients.

Hand Lotion: Same goes for hand cream, you need an all natural product. I have found that all natural or mostly natural products work excellent on dry skin. natural oils like jojoba, olive and sunflower retain moisture. Again try to stay away from lotions containing alcohol. It may seem a bit hard to get your hands on them and more expensive to go this route, but look at this way you will feel better and your skin will look better all winter long.
