Who else runs out of moisturizer instantly in the winter?

"You can moisturize from the inside," Sasha stresses. "Certain fatty foods -- like avocado -- are high in monounsaturated fats and actually help moisturize that outer layer of skin."

Wait, for real?!

"[They're] high in vitamin E, which also helps you repair your skin," she continues. "So your skin can kind of do some of the work itself before you slather up with moisturizer."
