Moisturizing skin:

Moisturizing Skin

To rub under your eyes, go from the end of your eyebrow toward your nose or you'll encourage wrinkles. Dab on moisturizer instead of rubbing it in under the eyes.
When moisturizing your neck, rub up instead of down to not cause sagging.
Wearing rubber gloves to wash dishes will keep your hands from drying out. Do double duty by putting lotion on your hands before putting on the gloves (you may need gloves one size larger than you are used to for this) and let the hot water "cook" that lotion deep into your skin.
Moisturize skin when it is wet. It takes longer to rub the lotion in this way, but water is really what the skin is lacking.
Soaking in the tub too long will rob your body of moisture.
Bathing in water that is too hot will rob your body of moisture.
The best moisturizing is done from the inside. Drink lots of water every day - not soda or coffee, but water.
Cutting out fat will help you lose weight, but cutting out too much will leave your skin extremely dry and itchy.
Cook with coconut oil instead of vegetable oil. On top of being a much healthier fat, it is actually good for health. One of its possible benefits is lower cholesterol.
For deep moisturizing: Take a shower before bedtime, and barely blot off water with a towel. Rub Vaseline all over to lock in the moisture. Then, put on pajamas and socks. The pajamas and socks will keep your sheets clean and double the moisturing power of the Vaseline.
