As the winter months
approach, you may be eager
to build a snowman or shiver
ing in your room dreaming
about a tropical paradise.
Whether you enjoy cold
weather or not, it can upset
your skin care routine and
leave you wondering where to
turn for help with your winter
skin problems.
Athens dermatologist Dr.
David Lockman said dry skin
is caused by low humidity.
This lower water content
in the air is why dry skin
occurs more in the winter.
“When the weather is
more humid in the summer, I
don’t see as many people for
dry skin,” he said.
To increase the water con
tent in the air, Dr. Lockman
suggests putting out pans of
water or using a humidifier.
However, since these steps
may not be enough to help
your dry skin, here are a few
tips to make the transition
into the winter months with
glowing, healthy-looking skin.
If you already have a regu
lar regimen for your face, you
may need to make some
adjustments to that plan
once the weather becomes
cold.
For starters, trade in your
drying gel cleanser or bar
soap for a mild cream
cleanser, such as Cetaphil
Gentle Skin Cleanser. Also,
wash your face in lukewarm

Dressed in period cos

water instead of hot water,
which takes moisture from
the skin.
After washing your face,
apply an oil-free moisturizer
such as Olay Active
Hydrating Beauty Fluid while
skin is still damp.
This helps to seal in the
skin’s moisture. Finally, exfo
liate once a week to get rid of
dull skin with a scrub such as
St. Ives Invigorating Apricot
Scrub. Be sure to moisturize
after exfoliating to prevent
your skin from drying out
even more.
Once you’re comfortable
with your face routine, the
hands are the next area that
needs special attention dur
ing winter.
The easiest way to combat
dry hands is to apply hand
cream several times a day.
Keep a cream such as
Neutrogena Norwegian
Formula Hand Cream by
your sink and apply it every
time you wash your hands,
since all that hot water and
soap can be drying.
You also can get soft
hands this winter when you
wear gloves by slathering
your hands with hand cream
first. The longer you wear
your gloves, the more mois
ture your hands will receive.
Dr. Lockman also suggest
ed wearing vinyl gloves when
washing dishes to prevent
dishwashing soap from dry
ing out your skin.
“I have patients who even
wear gloves when they show-
The Just Theater has
been in the Athens area for
about 15 years, said Keith
Delaplane, member of the
CFF steering committee.
He also said that they are
mostly active during
Christmastime and get a lot
of joy singing at hospitals,
nursing homes, parties and
other special events.
David Mustard, also a
member of the steering com
mittee that plans events, has
been a part of CFF since
1997.
He said when he inter
viewed at the University, he
came here specifically for
CFF events.
CFF is excited about the
er because things like sham
poo can be so drying to the
hands,” he said.
To prevent dry skin else
where on your body, it is
important to exfoliate once a
week with a scrub such as
Victoria’s Secret Stimulating
Body Scrub to improve circu
lation and keep skin looking
healthy.
Also apply a moisturizer
daily, and especially after
showering when your skin is
still damp. Dr. Lockman even
suggested using shortening
as a moisturizer. There are
two suggestions that will
keep your skin vibrant and
glowing year-round.
First, be sure to drink
plenty of water. Not only is
water good for you physically,
it also keeps your skin look
ing soft and smooth. The sec
ond way to keep your skin
smooth and undamaged is
simply by wearing sunscreen.
If you have tried all these
tips and still have severely
dry or burning skin, you may
need to use stronger prod
ucts.
To help with the itching,
Dr. Lockman recommended
using over-the-counter prod
ucts such as an antihista
mine or a 1 percent hydrocor
tisone cream.
Dr. Lockman also suggest
ed looking for products that
have certain ingredients in
them when shopping for
moisturizers, such as glyc
erin, petrolatum and propy
lene glycol.

Salliann Graniero’s
mamma’s meatloaf is so
good, it will be served at
Snelling Dining Hall as part
of the 19th annual Taste of
Home Event, to be held
Wednesday at all campus
dining halls.
“Yo mamma’s meatloaf,”
invented by Graniero’s
mother, Linda Graniero, is
one of 123 recipes that a
panel of University chefs
and dining hall managers
chose to serve at this year’s
event.
“We try to pick recipes
that students will like,” said
Chef Dale Anderson, who
works at Snelling. “We know
our students love meatloaf.”
Snelling Dining Hall,
Oglethorpe Dining
Commons, Bolton Dining
Hall and the Village Summit
will serve recipes submitted
by parents at all three meals
of the day.

Noxzema girls Brigid, Zoe
and Monique need new out
fits, and their designer will
win a trip to New York
Fashion Week to mingle with
fashion royalty and rising
style stars.
The Noxzema Fashion
Design Contest allows aspir
ing fashion designers to
choose which character they
want to clothe based on an
online profile about her per
sonality, geographic area
and hobbies.
For example, Monique’s
profile on noxzema.com
describes her as a “coffee-
shop barista (when she’s not
auditioning for her big
break)” with an “urban
Bohemian” style and a pet
dog. Zoe and Brigid both
have their own unique pro
files as well.

students a special treat dur
ing finals week and parents
a sense of involvement in
their children’s lives on cam
pus.
“It’s a way to make a con
nection with parents and to
make students feel that the
University is their second
home,” Floyd said. “It’s also
a way to constantly add new
recipes into our menu struc
ture.”
D’arcy Duncan, a fresh
man from Suwanee, is excit
ed about trying the pasta
salad recipe her parents
submitted because it is one
of her favorites from home.
“I could eat pasta salad
all the time and be perfectly
content,” Duncan said.
“My parents asked me
what I missed the most and
submitted that one.
Everyone in my family loves
to cook, so this contest was
a big deal.”
Many parents take the
competition seriously
because they are vying for
the decorative plate Food
Services gives as an award.
At freshman orientation
major Brenton Brown has
big plans for Monique’s out
fit.
He said he could see her
wearing an airy tunic top
and skinny pants with “defi
nitely a scarf around the
head, Jackie O-inspired, and
white tear-drop sunglasses.”
He wanted to put her in
high heels, but then decid
ed, “We could put her in
flats because I forgot about
the dog.” Contestants
should submit drawings of
their designs online or by
mail by Jan. 5.
The best submissions will
be posted online and voted
on by visitors to the site.
The grand prize winner,
announced in March of next
year, will travel to New York
for three days and two
nights during the Fashion
Week glamour and shows.
“Fashion Week is so huge
because that’s where the
trends are set for the
each year, Floyd challenges
parents to win four plates —
one for each year their child
is a student at the
University.
“I submitted at least
three recipes, heart in hand,
hoping that one would be
picked,” said Debra Kessler,
the mother of University
freshman Julie Kessler. “I
wanted that plate!”
Winning recipes are
entered into a computerized
food system that converts
recipes for four or eight into
recipes for 8,000.
Parents are sent a copy of
the recipe so they can point
out any mistakes before the
big day.
“This recipe will come in
handy if I want to serve
8,000 slices of poppyseed
cake using 8 pounds, 3 oz. of
poppyseed,” Kessler said.
According to Floyd, this
year’s contest was the most
competitive in the 19-year
history of the event.
More than 1,000 recipes
were submitted, compared
to 600 to 800 in a typical
year.

Brown, a senior from Locust
Grove, of the contest’s top
prize.
“I would probably cut off
my right arm to get in
because it is just so amaz
ing,” he added. “That is
where fashion starts for the
rest of the country.
Whatever we’re wearing
starts at Fashion Week.”
Designers, start sketch
