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.
