Gluten Free= Dry Chapped Skin

A week or more has passed since I have found myself with awfully chapped lips and facial skin so dry it hurts.

I purchased some jojoba oil last week which makes my hair look fab, and adds a nice sheen to the fronts of my legs, but doesn't do anything good on my face. And the gluten free vitamin E capsules have not even made a dent. For days I have been popping them open to soothe my aching lips with no improvement.

I have some skin care ideas, and ultimately am working on some gluten free, natural skin care products. In the meantime, however, I am desperate for a little relief.

I bought some pricey rose otto essential oil this evening and dropped a bit in my bath--resulting in some serious skin smoothing.

I also got a lotion from California Baby which is pretty effective, though I still seem to need a bit more nourishment.
