Now that the weather is colder and we’re piling on sweaters, jackets and scarves, that can only mean one thing: winter skin. You know the feeling: dry, dull, pale, but you don’t have to put up with the winter skin you hate so much. Here are our winter skincare essentials to get you through the next few months.
Lush lip scrub
Chapped lips are the worst, and sometimes no matter how hard you try, just plain chapstick won’t make the cut. So trying a lip scrub may be helpful. This one from Lush is only $10, and as well as being vegan and not tested on animals, it’s also edible. Just rub on your ips to remove the dead skin and you have perfectly smooth lips. With new holiday favors like Sugar Plum Fairy or Santa Baby, these are the perfect stocking stuffer to pamper your friend or treat your self.
Belif, The True Cream- Aqua Bomb
This is one of the best moisturizers on the market and feels like a drink for your skin. Great for all skin types, this light blue gel moisturizer is a miracle worker. It replenishes dry skin and lessens dullness while improving the skin’s overall texture. This cream can be purchased in a multitude of sizes and different price points, and it increases skin hydration by 70 percent. What have you got to lose?
DR. JART+Water Replenishment Cotton Sheet Mask
Sheet masks are all the rage and any hydrating sheet mask can aid winter skin, but the DR. JART+Water Replenishment Cotton Sheet Mask was voted in Allure’s best of beauty. Perfect for all skin types, this mask not only replenishes dehydrated skin but also reduces redness and stops the creation of wrinkles and fine lines. Buy a few and have a girls night in with friends.
Nivea essentially enriched lotion
Lotion is probably the number one way of fighting off dull, dry winter skin this season. Nivea’s enriched body lotion is infused with almond oil and has a nourishing formula to help dry skin. This lotion is effective, without being too thick or heavy like other lotions, and has a pleasant scent that isn’t too fragrant or overpowering making this the perfect lotion to put on after a nice bubble bath!
