winter blues… err reds… err dry flakiness

How is it possible that my skin feels so dry, yet look so oily. Winter winds and dry air have wicked moisture from my face. As a tropical breed that has been made hearty with years of living in a continental climate, I have adapted to the seasons but only with lots of care.
Rich emollients that aren’t greasy are necessary for my face. Home-rendered coconut oil is used for the ashy joints, torso, thighs and calves for that glistening “just burnished male stripper” look. Burn-victim grade salve is used for my dry heels and feet.
The applied moisturizers and all the glasses of water don’t seem to be enough. Sometimes I wish to spend winter months somewhere warm so my pores can exude sebum and give me a healthy well-lubricated glow. Alas I am here, desiccating along with the other tropical transplants, bundled up and waiting for the warmer weather.

Well finally got to your blog…had some trouble living a message earlier so send you an email instead Pinoyboy.
Not too sure where I should send messages to so I have been bad – sending everything to Peter in the hope that I get to everyone that I need to get to.
I’m thinking of the jockstrap idea and Andrew Christian’s does not secure enough…maybe I should buy some Calvins?
Anyhuey, write me. Still trying to convince the other half to let me get an IMAC so I can do all these crazy stuff with you guys but it is a battle I think I will not win.
Don’t forget moisturise, moisturise and moisturise – our skin are not made for winter and a humidifier will work wonders. Trust me I have been living with one for 5 years now and they’re my salvation to youthful skin.
Apart from that, you should see my baby fat fat pics… they’re huge!! Titanic – so don’t worry about it.
