Forgive my poorly staged picture but I took this in a rush. We're still friends, right?
I really hate winter weather in general, but one of the worst problems is how dried out my skin gets. This year, I tried to be more proactive with my skin care to prevent the problems of the past.
Here's what I'm using:
{On My Face}
I'm using
Rinse Squalane Oil in the morning under my tinted moisturizer and at night under my
Nivea cream. I use Nivea cream because I read on Ashley's
blog that it rivals
La Mer. Which is cool because Nivea is definitely in my budget where as La Mer isn't. I also use
Bobbi Brown's Hydrating Eye Cream in the morning under my concealer and then again before bed. I also swear by
Dr. Lipp Original Nipple Balm for Lips for dry lips year round. I also use
Bioderma to remove my make-up before bed. There are times I come home from work and just use this right away. It is SO good. I highly recommend and I have really sensitive skin. I also use
Boots No. 7 Mineral Spray to set my make-up and also before bed. It instantly hydrates and I highly recommend if your skin is really dehydrated. Sometimes, I spray before a run to keep my face from getting too dry.
{On My Hands}
In the morning, I use Library of Flowers Willow & Water
hand cream (not pictured). It is hands down my favorite scent right now! At night, I use
Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream (recommended by
Joey) treatment followed by Lollia Relax
hand cream. I am sure it is mind over matter, but I find that Lollia's Relax fragrance does just that for me.
{On My Feet}
Because I've started running again, my feet are super cauloused. So, I'm using Bath & Body Works
Heel of Approval. I put it on before I run and again before bed and I have definitely noticed a difference this time.
{All Over}
I have really sensitive skin and use only Dove bath products. When I saw
Mia's review of Dove Winter Care
body wash, I decided to try it out. I'm obsessed! I use Eucerin Intensive Care
body lotion. It is so hydrating that I'm pretty sure I'll use this year round. I also use
Josie Maran Argan Oil on my face, around my cuticles, on my lips, and anywhere else that needs a little extra hydration.
What are you using to hydrate your skin this winter? What should I try next?
