My mother was right about one thing...

Along with frizzy hair, freckles, and impatience, I also inherited my mother's dry-as-a-bone skin. To stave of the arid desert on my arms and legs, I took her advice to always, always rub Johnson & Johnson's Baby Oil all over as soon as I turn off the shower and before I even think about drying off. I thought this skin-saving process was as normal as brushing your teeth and having a bottle of baby oil in the shower was as necessary as soap and shampoo. (I still don't know exactly how this stuff is used on babies...).Until I spent one night at a friend's house in high school and desperately dug around for a bottle only to come up empty-handed. You mean there are people that don't use baby oil after they shower? Well no wonder I always get compliments on my soft skin!

So please, fellow Pretties with dry skin, try out this $4 miracle. Rub some oil on your legs (especially on your calves, elbows and heels where scaly skin appears quickest) after you shower and before patting yourself dry with a towel. After a few times, you'll realize why my mother was always right. Your skin will feel soft and smooth -- plus you'll be saving lots of money on expensive body lotion.
