ou just put lotion on. Five minutes later, your skin feels dry again. What gives?

In our newest Ask the Goat Lady podcast, I’m talking about why moisturizing sometimes takes more than another squeeze from the bottle.

We’ve already explored hormonal changes and how they can affect your skin in a previous episode. This time, we’re looking at the everyday things that also matter—your weather, washing habits, and the products you use.

When we lived in El Paso, Texas, my skin was always dry. And even here in Louisiana, cold, windy days make a difference. Add indoor heating and a long, hot shower, and your skin has plenty to contend with.

In this episode, we talk about choosing a moisturizer that suits your skin, applying it while your skin is slightly damp, and understanding why not every ingredient with “alcohol” in its name is the same.

Before you reach for more lotion, join me for a little conversation about what your skin might need.

Listen to the newest Ask the Goat Lady podcast, and tell me: when does your skin feel driest?
