Dairy Free Living

One of the ways that my dairy allergy manifests sometimes is through dry patches on my skin. My skin is very sensitive and I have often found myself moisturizing like crazy then realizing a few weeks later that a new product I have been using has dairy in it. Even I am not always as careful as I should be or I misread the ingredients. This does not happen as much since companies are now required to place allergens such as dairy, wheat, or soy on their packages.

I also get dry skin in the winter so it is times like this when I begin to look at everything I am eating to see if I am just having winter dry skin or dairy allergy dry skin.  I am pretty sure that this is winter dry skin as we are poor and have fallen back on our basics which means no new products.

If you are experiencing dry skin you may want to look at the products you are using. A new product may have slipped through or an old product may have changed its ingredients!
