Winter Skincare Essentials

Winter....what a dreadful time of year for our skin. There are so many brutal elements that take their toll on our skin during this time. Over the years I've learned to constantly mix up my skincare routine in the winter. The harsh, cold air leaves our skin looking dull and dry so here are some ways to avoid that!

In the winter I can never use too much moisturizer on my face. I make sure to constantly keep my skin hydrated or else it will become a combination of oil in my t-zone and then excessive peeling in my dry areas. I also like to add in Ferulic acid to brighten up my complexion. I also believe our bodies and lips crave moisture in the winter months so I always opt for a thicker, more rich body lotion and soothing lip balm.

Here are the products I love to use in the winter: 

- Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing gel

- Pond's Luminous Clean face wipes

- Eucerin Professional Repair body lotion

-  Ole Henriksen 3 Little Wonders

- Dr. Dennis Gross Ferulic acid + Retinol brightening serum

- Nivea Milk & Honey lip balm

I always keep my face wash gentle for my sensitive skin and on occasion I will exfoliate. The great thing about the 3 Little Wonders is that the nighttime AHA complex helps get rid of dry and uneven skin the winter months can bring about. The Dr. Dennis Gross Ferulic acid brightening serum is ahmazinggggg ! It soaks right into your skin and you can really start to see dark marks lighten up after a few days. 

I hope you find some of these products helpful and they get you through these brutal winter months. Ciao!
