That pesky winter weather always takes a toll on my skin when that time of the year rolls around so here are my top products for conquering that dry skin!
La Rouche-Posay, Moisturizing cream for
sensitive skin
I love La Rouche-Posay and not to mention they are
a big part of my skin are routine! My skin is usually dry and sensitive despite
the cold weather so this moisturiser is perfect. Pop a pea size amount before bedtime then the same in the morning
before applying your makeup (I normally wait 5 minutes for it to soak in before
foundation).
The Body Shop, Vitamin E face mist
This stuff is amazing. You know when you've had
your makeup on for a few hours and your skins feeling a bit 'eugh'? Just spritz
this little gem on your face and it will give you that extra boost that you
need. Especially good if you skin is feeling a bit dry it gives that lusted
dewy finish!
Dr Jart, Water fuse BB cream
In winter, like I said my skins tends to get even
more dry than it is already and I find most foundations tend to stick to dry
patches leaving your skin looking even worse that it did before you put the
foundation on (so what's the point?!) That's where BB creams come in (my
ultimate favourite being Dr Jart) a happy medium between a tinted moisturiser
and foundation you could say.
Fresh, Sugar lip polish
Everyone needs a good lip scrub to exfoliate those
babies in the cold season. This one smells like brown sugar, no joke. The kind
of heavenly smell you get in the first step of making cookies, you know when
you mix the brown sugar and butter together, Is it just me who sometimes stops
on this step and gets straight to the eating? just me? oh okay then ;) but
seriously who doesn't want that on their lips?!
Revlon, Lip butter in Pink Truffle
If you are looking for a bit of colour and
moisture, my personal favourite are the Revlon Lip butters, Pink Truffle being
the 'best cold weather colour'!
The Body Shop, Shea body butter
This has everything you could ever want in a body
butter. Thick and luxurious? check! Not greesy? check! Smells good? double
check! Normally I lather this on my elbows, feet, knees and hands when I
get out of the shower and before I go to bed, resulting in lovely smooth (and
smell good) skin!
E45, Nourish & Restore body lotion
Pretty basic just a good everyday, all over
moisturiser! Again, I put this on when I get out of the shower and at night all
over! I tend to find The Body Shop one a bit heavy for all over.
So that's it, those are the products I use to help
me through those cold months which are creeping up on us!
