Get Hydrated Skin this Winter with Olay Winter Skin Challenge
Get Hydrated Skin this Winter with Olay Winter Skin Challenge

It is officially winter this week, and as the temperatures drop in Seattle, I am already feeling those harsh effects of this season on my skin. As much as I love the holiday season, my skin is definitely prone to a bout of uncomfortable dryness at this time of year. Pretty much as soon as the heat is turned on full time indoors, my face, hands, feet and skin start to dry out. Ugh, dry skin on face. Sound familiar?

To combat dry itchy skin this winter, I am taking part in the Olay Winter Skin Challenge and you're invited to join me! Olay Moisture Ribbons Plus' rich moisturizing formula helps you overcome the harsh effects of winter. With immediate moisturizing effects, you can use Olay Moisture Ribbons Plus just once for softer and more moisturized skin that feels and looks great! Super easy skin care!

While not officially winter on the calendar yet, the temperatures outside in Seattle have been steadily dropping and that cold winter chill is definitely in the air. As temperatures drop, layers become an absolute essential for dressing and braving the cold in the Pacific Northwest.

This winter season I am looking to a variety of fabrics and textures to add variety when dressing in layers, so as not to fall into the winter dressing doldrums I find myself in every year. I'm particularly loving layers of faux leather, velvet, and silky fabrics to get me through until Spring.
