Problem: your moisturizer won't absorb Solution: Make a face mask with honey.

When you can't get your skin to hold onto moisture -- no matter how heavy the cream -- Wechsler recommends making a face mask with milk and honey. "Honey is a natural humectant, meaning it draws free water from the inner tissues to the surface layers of the skin," she explains. "It also soothes dry, sensitive, or irritated areas." She suggests mixing two tablespoons of honey with two teaspoons of whole milk, warming it slightly in the microwave, applying it to your face, and letting it sit for 10 minutes.

Great article! I put flaxseed in my fruit smoothies too...I love using Nivea's Essentially Enriched or Extended Moisture lotions during the winter! They're awesome!
