My Favorite Facial Moisturizer for Dry, Sensitive Skin

July 26, 2017 by jessica 1 Comment

Burts Bees Sensitive Daily Moisturizing Cream

I don’t talk about beauty a lot around here, which is mostly because I have my routine down and I don’t really stray from a natural makeup palette with bright pink lipstick. That said, skincare is something that’s been at the top of my mind lately as I’m getting older and starting to see signs of aging. (I say this as I have the worst sunburn from our weekend in Chicago. Evidently I missed a few places with sunscreen.) One of the things I really wanted to nail down was my daily moisturizer. I had been using Clinique’s Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion for years, and while it softened my skin for the most part and absorbed fairly quickly, it didn’t make my skin look or feel any different and I hated that I had to run to the mall or place an online order when it ran out. I then tried a daily moisturizer from Origins, which of course still meant that I had to plan an errand to replenish my supply, but I just loved the packaging and the citrus fragrance so much that I hoped it wouldn’t annoy me as much. However, that moisturizer doesn’t do much for dryness. It felt nice going on and the tub packaging means you can get to every last bit of product, but the dry patches on my face were just as dry afterward.

During a recent trip to Walgreens, I decided to try Burt’s Bees Sensitive Daily Moisturizing Cream. I know that a lot of people wax poetic about Burt’s Bees, but my only experience with the brand had been with its lip balm and I wasn’t a huge fan. (I stock up on candy cane ChapStick when it’s available during the holidays.) This face cream, however, is amazing. (Like amazing enough to take a break from packing up our apartment to write this post!) It has a light, creamy texture that feels luxurious and absorbs quickly into the skin  leaving it softer and firmer. All of my dry, flaky patches are gone, and there wasn’t even a hint of skin irritation. I’ve only been using it at night for about a week since I still have some of the Origins moisturizer to get through, but there’s already such an improvement in my complexion. The price per ounce is on par with department store brands, which is a little annoying, but it doesn’t bother me given how convenient it is to restock. Seriously, give it a whirl if you’re in a similar boat. I haven’t felt compelled to write about a skincare product in a long time, but I was really surprised by how well this product works and how great it feels.

Staying at four Graduate Hotel properties last yea Staying at four Graduate Hotel properties last year solidified my love of the brand. Each is located in a college town and the brand does a wonderful job bringing in each city’s personality by way of thoughtful design finishes and kitschy details. In recent years, the brand has done a summer promotion to attract travelers to university towns during a typically quiet time of the year. This year was no different. For 30 hours in May, Graduate sold $30 rooms for the month of July. (Each person was limited to one booking.) We thought about going somewhere outside of the Midwest, but with a trip to Europe scheduled for this fall, we opted to stay closer to home and choose a location that we could drive to. And with that, a trip to Evanston, IL was on the books.

I didn’t know much about Evanston attractions, but I figured we’d find enough things to fill 48 hours. If not, Chicago was only a short train ride away. I’m happy to report that my low expectations were unfounded and I was won over by the city’s charming gardens, quaint neighborhoods, and access to Lake Michigan. It’s not to say that there’s a lot to do in the city. There isn’t, at least in the summer. But it has cute pockets all over that make a stay in the suburbs worthwhile.

A few moments from the weekend. A few moments from the weekend.
A small moment of peace from the past weekend. I A small moment of peace from the past weekend.

I feel like I’ve been doomscrolling since the news broke of SCOTUS’ decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. My emotions run the gamut from sadness to frustration to unadulterated rage. I’m deeply disgusted by conservatives and evangelicals, but especially by liberals who supported Bernie Sanders and refused to vote for Hillary Clinton at such a crucial moment in our history. Did you know that 12% of Sanders’ primary election supporters voted for Trump in the general election? In Wisconsin alone, 51,000 of them voted for Trump — a state Trump would win by just 22,000 votes. 

Your vote matters. It matters in national elections, statewide elections, and local elections. It’s crucial that Democrats organize as strategically as conservatives did and restore reproductive rights. 

In the meantime, donate your time, talent, or treasure to help those facing an unwanted pregnancy. @thecut has a great list on their site with organizations to support in states likely to prohibit abortion. I’ve donated to @plannedparenthoodwi.
Reveal day is finally here! It’s been a long pro Reveal day is finally here! It’s been a long process that started back in April 2020 with a kitchen ceiling leak that was attributed to water leaking from our tub faucet and working its way through the floor and into the kitchen. Our bathroom was never anything to look at (before photos on the feed), but the leak really accelerated our plans for a full bathroom renovation when timelines — and budgets — allowed. It feels a bit surreal to have it done and I don’t think I’ll ever stop admiring it whenever I walk past!
