Let me share a little secret. After moving here in Manila for work, I stopped all sorts of moisturizing I was doing before. It was too greasy for me to handle, especially body lotions and facial moisturizers. It seemed okay in the beginning since I didn't see any effects, I would moisturize once in a blue moon, say I'd wear a short skirt and my skin would seem really dry. 

After 3 yrs of doing this, my skin started to wrinkle and it looked and felt unhealthy. A couple of months ago, despite the greasy and uneasy feeling it brings, I started moisturizing again. A co-worker had a Human Nature Catalogue so I browsed through it and saw 2 products that I really wanted to try.

I got the title from a co-worker who always has a body butter beside her in case of "Emergency dryness". I thought of that when I thought of purchasing these giant moisturizing lotions. I always moisturize before I go to work, I skip it when I'm about to be late, but I do it most of the time. 

I also have one mini lotion in my bag in case I get super dry, which led me to think, why do we always feel dry despite the moisture that we give our body. I actually have a very oily face but I feel like my body needs more of it. I read from Helga's blog that the more you deprive your body of moisture, the more it produces oil so that it will still be moisturized.
