As much as we hate to be the bearer of bad news, fall temperatures are closing in on what seems like the shortest summer of all time. (For those of you who may be unaware, September starts next week.) Seeing as how our skin gets dry even in the heat and humidity, we’re bracing for the onslaught of the colder weather, when tight-and-flaky syndrome is at its worst and smaller surface areas like lips, cuticles, elbows, and hands seem to suffer. Our moisturizer of choice has been the Treasure of the East hippie salve our mother introduced us to a few years back, but seeing as how it is available by mail order only and our stash has run out (note to self: buy in bulk), we’ve had to call for reinforcements. That would be Mama Mio’s O-Mega Wonder-Full Balm, which has the consistency of Elizabeth Arden’s Eight Hour Cream but uses natural rather than synthetic oils to achieve that melts-on-contact effect. Originally known for a range that is specifically designed to keep your skin strong, elastic, healthy, and well-toned during pregnancy, the brand is out to prove that omega acid-rich oils like avocado, carrot seed, sweet almond, and evening primrose are just as skin-quenching for women who are without child. And they are. The balm’s beeswax and carnauba wax base also makes for a great post-summer foot treatment. London’s pedicurist to the stars, Toni Jade, suggests slathering feet with a thin layer of the stuff and then covering with socks overnight for feet that are, well, baby soft.
