I can’t tell you how many conversations have started this past week with “my skin is so dry!” As soon as as the temps dip, I feel like an amphibian in a dessert. I joke that because of my Mexican heritage, I was simply not meant to be in a cold climate. That may actually be true, but alas, I live in the Northeast and I have adapted. Well, at least my skincare routine has evolved. Over the years, I…
