The weather is getting cool for many of us! Unless you live in a warm climate, most of you have begun to feel that winter chill. Getting a jump on moisturizing is a good practice anyway, but it will ensure that you don’t deal with rough, dry skin, flaking or that ‘raw’ look that just isn’t cute. Looking like a woman is more than just clothes or make-up. Here are some tips to make sure that your skin is silky smooth all winter long!

Excellent winter tips for beautiful, feminine skin

1) Don’t wash your face or body with hot water…..the winter air is already stripping your skin of moisture and hot water only makes things worse. Keep the water warm instead.

2) Moisturize right after a bath or shower, and do not use the same product for your face and body. I use a moisturing gel that has a creamy feel on my face, and a rich, thick lotion for my body. Do a little extra on knees, elbows and below your calves for soft and feminine feet and ankles! When moisturizing your face, don’t forget your neck!

3) Every time you wash your hands, use lotion. Put lotion on the back of hands first and then rub it in from there. Most everyone starts in the palm of their hands, but your palms aren’t going to go dry!

Pretty skin when you’re away from home

1) Have hand lotion nearby at home for everytime you wash your hands. Carry a travel size in your purse when you’re out en femme. Lock in that moisture everytime and be consistent.

2) Always wear gloves and scarves in cold weather. As the winter progresses, it will get more and more icy. Keep that chily air out to maintain your skin.

Feminine upkeep is a full-time job

Keep drinking lots of water in order to stay hydrated. Personally, if I forget my water, I really struggle to keep my elbows soft, so help your body out. Drinking water will help plump lines in your face and your skin will look more dewy than if you are thirsty on the inside. Feminine upkeep is sometimes tedious, but it’s so worth it! If you feel beautiful, it will show. It’s a full time job to take care of yourself, but every sissy and cross dresser deserves to look and feel amazing!
