While we love a good scroll through a review section both for entertainment and should-I-buy details, we also know the absolute best recommendations for clothing, TV shows, desserts, books, and the like usually come from friends.
So we’re introducing a new column this year which is, simply, Our Favorite Things. We’ll switch the focus monthly; the idea is to scroll through a few of the favorites we’ve gathered from the AMR Team, and then add your own in the comments below.
Even though I—Dimity—drink a horse trough’s worth of water daily, the dry air of Colorado wreaks havoc on my skin. Some days, I feel like could slither into a snake nest and the natives would accept as a local after seeing my cracked, scaly epidermis. So we asked for the favorite lotions, serums (including one eyelash one because why not?) and other gentle skin care from our AMR crew in the hopes of not having to apply lotion more than three times a day.

Vanicream Moisturizing Cream
I’m obsessed with this cream. I use it on my face twice a day and on my entire body after a shower. It’s rich but not greasy and great for my super dry, super sensitive skin. Plus, it’s inexpensive and easy to find at Target.

Lots of favorites – but one that is the funniest (IMHO) is lanolin nipple cream – but I use it on my lips at night. ANDDDD my husband uses it on his cracked knuckles in the winter. Breast feeding was not the cards for me, so I googled what to do with the tubes of lanolin and man did I find a winner! Dry, chapped, or chafed – NIPPLE cream!
I’ll look these up! I love The Ordinary’s hyaluronic acid serum and Tarte Cosmetics Maracula Tinted Hydrator.
