My Current Skincare Regimen: Glossier, Kate Somerville, First Aid Beauty and More!

So here's the thing. I am what one might call obsessed with skincare. And I don't mean just a mild obsession.

Beautifying the Broken Ankle: First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Lotion

I'm going to tell you something no one told me when I broke my ankle. THE EXPERIENCE DRIES YOUR SKIN OUT LIKE NOBODY'S BUSINESS. Picture this -- you can't put the broken area in water or slather lotion on it. It's trapped in a cast, or a splint, or a boot ... regardless, it's not exposed to the air. This continues for weeks on end. And then, finally, you're allowed to see the skin. You can touch it. You can (thank the lord) shower and moisturize. And by that point, it's too late ... BECAUSE YOUR SKIN HAS TAKEN ON A LIFE OF ITS OWN. It's morphed into something you don't even recognize anymore. And on top of worrying that you may never wear heels again, or you might not be able to do yoga or get on the elliptical, or standing at a concert might be too difficult, now you have to worry that your skin looks and feels like the leathery roommate from There's Something About Mary.

Hence this new series, Beautifying the Broken Ankle. I decided to (literally) take life into my own hands and start applying as many moisturizing products as I could to my dry, leathery skin, hoping against hope that they would do the trick. First up? First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Lotion.
