Dry skin will be the death of me.  That and salt stains on new boots….  I’m not the biggest fan of winter – if it isn’t already abundantly clear – and those two reasons, plus a collection of others are exactly why.  Because of this deep seeded dislike, I’ve been forced to find ways to help survive the perils of peeling skin and green complexions.  Thankfully Clinique has come up with something that is right up my scaled-skin alley, Moisture Surge. 

I’ve been using Moisture Surge this winter to fix my dry spots and even though the weather has been a pretty mild version of what were used to, this product was also ideal when travelling – nothing dehydrates you more than flying.  If you’re planning a winter getaway or have winter dry skin issues (like me), Moisture Surge is where it’s at.

Since it wouldn’t be nice to blab about this product without having at least one of you try it, we got together with the good people at Clinique and put a fun collection of products together for you to have the chance to win.

Skincare is SO important especially considering skin is the primary site of allergic manifestations.

You may think that the weather change, hormones and diet are the main factors contributing to skin sensitivity but skin discomfort can arise from many other influences such as the sun, medications, contact, detergents, and…allergies!

I’m sure you’ve all put a moisturizer on that has caused redness, discomfort and a burning sensation. La Roche-Posay has included Neurosensine, an active ingredient identical to a substance naturally secreted by the body, that reduces skin sensitivity.  So cool!

Packaging can lead to product contamination so La Roche-Posay has created top notch packaging. Toleriane Ultra is also free of preservatives and parabens.

.

Want to win a bottle of La Roche-Posay‘s Toleriane Ultra Moisturizer?? All you have to do is leave a comment answering the following question:

What is the active ingredient in La Roche-Posay’s Toleriane Ultra?

Make sure to enter because the first 25 people to comment will win a free bottle of Toleriane Ultra!!!

Good luck!
