Moisturizer.
My wonderful parents have blessed me with many things...but good skin was not one of them. I have always had problems with acne for as long as I can remember and in the last few years my skin has become red and blotchy and wrinkly and gross. Pregnancy makes all of these things TEN TIMES WORSE! I realized the other day, as I was slathering on my Aveeno Ultra Calming Daily Moisturizer with SPF 15, that putting on moisturizer has NEVER felt this good. After I get out of the shower, when my face is all crazy red and almost cracked from dryness, I put TWO LAYERS of this stuff on, and...oh my heavens...it's like a glass of wine for my face. I literally stand in front of the mirror and go "Ahhhhhhh, oohhhhh, ahhhhh, yeahhhhh, ahhhhhh...."
Sylvain has equally bad skin, but he has found that keeping a beard helps with the acne and dryness problems, especially in the winter time. I keep trying to convince him that he should try moisturizer, but he's way to manly for that, so whatever. I do know this - between our skin issues and our allergies - our kid will have to live in a bubble. We've already looked into it.
So, today I am thankful for moisturizer (and the four hundred other Aveeno products I use every day). In fact, I can't wait until tomorrow morning when I get to put more on!

I think you have beautiful skin!! I think you're making up all this red, blotchy nonsense. My manly man TOTALLY has his own bottle of moisturizer -- some neutrogena SPF 15 stuff.
Yeah - my kiddo has my skin. Poor kid...She's 2 and already has a prescription cream for her arms.
I agree with Laura - you have beautiful youthful skin! Oh, my husband uses moisturizer as well, although I will not divulge which kind.
So, I said to Sylvain, "Pete and Justin use moisturizer! You should try some." You would have thought I just asked him to jump off a cliff. I'm starting to notice him saying things to me that I used to say to my mother ("It's not a problem for me! It's a problem for YOU!") Is that a bad sign??
