hello! once i year i go from regular life in glasgow, scotland (very damp) to phoenix, az for 3 weeks (hot, dry, obvs). i find oils work well for my skin. i use plain jojoba or rosehip on my face and buy a big jar of plain coconut oil from the supermarket for my body (a treat to be somewhere ambiently warm enough for it to be soft; rock hard in chilly glasgow!)

Going to second the Weleda Skin Food recommendation, it’s a green tube of magic for my dry skin. A little goes a long way so I don’t feel like it’s too much in the summer!!

Welcome to WW2 era! I’m definitely in it and I’m slowly transitioning to WW1 girlie. It’s been so wildly interesting.

WW2, I do a lot of podcasts. But for WW1, books. I recommend The First World War by John Keegan. Literally Franz Ferdinand who. I never knew how it all started and that wasn’t it

It feels WILD to see someone else sharing parts of Billings and red lodge!! Love it!! You are so good at curating. When I’m in Montana (and at home in Texas) I use weleda skin food in the morning and night. It’s superrrrr thick and it’s the only thing that keeps my dry skin moisturized!

Yay! There's so much goodness in Montana.

And amazing! I haven't used Weleda in a few years, but I will pick up a tube for my next trip 🤓

Late reply but Dieux Instant Angel is the best moisturizer I have found for my dry skin in very dry Colorado; I use a mist like the Heritage Store Rosewater & Glycerin and then the moisturizer.
