With December weather comes chapped lips and dry skin. While we may all love the feeling of the holidays no one likes the feeling our skin gets when the temperature starts dropping. Here are some December Favorites to help keep you moisturized from head to your toe all winter long.

Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe, Herbs, and Rosewater

This may seem very extra and an unnecessary addition to your skincare routine but after one spray you will be hooked. The soft floral smell is very welcoming and is a great pick me up for any time of day. Whether you got two hours of sleep or your skin just couldn’t’t look more dull, a few sprays of this and you will look and feel hydrated. I personally love using this product prior to moisturizer or before applying makeup just to give my skin a little extra glow.

Perfect for before bed or even under makeup.

Lush Rub Rub Rub Shower Scrub

A key tip to keeping your skin soft is to exfoliate weekly. Lush Rub Rub Rub is an all natural shower scrub, made with sea salt, lemon juice, and oil.

Jergens Hydrating Coconut Body Lotion

Jergens is a classic when it comes to body lotion. This particular formula has a slight coconut scent that takes you back to summertime memories even if it may be negative degrees outside. The consistency is thick enough that you feel moisturized without having that lotion consistency left on your body.

It’s a 10 Miracle Leave-In Product

Nothing is worse then dry static hair in the winter .It’s a 10 Miracle leave in spray does 10 different things to better the health of your hair. Over time I can declare that there has been a noticeable difference of strength and shine of my hair. To use apply 2-3 sprays after you shower, focusing it on your ends. I personally like to spray it on my hands first so I have more control of where the product is placed. 10/10 recommend this product.

Price: $12.33

Smith’s Rosebud Salve

Chap lips is probably everyone’s least favorite part of the winter. Smith’s, unlike some chapsticks, actually works and does not leave you having to reapply every five minutes. As soon as you put it on you can feel the formula beginning to repair your lips. The light rose flavoring is soothing, rather than overpowering. Smith’s can also be used on any part of your body so it doubles as a lotion also that can easily fit in any backpack or purse.
