Winter Skin Care Routine
So this winter has been a really long and very cold one and my
skin has taken the hit from it.
But I have found products that have really helped me! So this has been my
winter skin care routine.
My skin at the beginning of this winter was super dry and flaky. So I changed my normal moisturizer, Origins GinZing Energy-boosting
moisturizer (which is amazing!) to the Clarins Hydra Quench Rich Cream
moisturizer for very dry skin and it worked so well. It’s a lot thicker than
the Origins one and absorbed into my skin nicely. It really helped with the
flaking and got rid of the overall dryness. I use it in the morning and night.
For washing my face I have been loving the Roc Multi-Actions
Make-Up Remover Milk. I was recommend this product because it’s a creamy
product and better for dry skin. The lady at the counter told me that gel
cleansers are made for people with oily skin, and that’s what I had been using.
When I switched it has made a huge difference to my skin. It’s also a three in
one product it cleanses, tones and moisturizes, but I still like to use another
moisturizer after. I have also
been using the Make Up Forever Sens’Eyes Waterproof Sensitive Eye Cleanser and
it is so good at getting off all my eye makeup. It’s really genial even when
I’m taking of waterproof makeup.
My next
step is my Kate Somerville EradiKate Acne Treatment. This is just for small
blemishes and pimples. My skin at the beginning of the winter was pretty bad
with acne and this spot treatment did help a lot with most of the acne but was
not always affective. However my sister got amazing results from it so I guess
it depends on your skin. Mine tends to be more stubborn then hers.
My last
step that I normally do once a week is use a face mask. The one that I’ve been
loving is the Glam Glow YouthMud. It pretty expensive (I think $40) but wow it
works remarkably. It’s a mud mast so it dry’s hard on your skin. You put
it on the blemishes on your face and you can see the oil being pulled out of
your skin. You can feel the difference after one use and see it after about
three.
As for
my body this winter I’ve been loving Soap & Glory. There Hand Food has
saved my dry hands. It’s so amazing, it absorbs into your hands really fast. I
always use it at school in between classes and can write a note next period no
problem. I’ve also been loving there Butter Yourself body butter in the
Five-Fruits sent, it smells so good! It’s a thicker texture but absorbs into
your skin pretty quickly, I normally put it on as soon as I get out of the
shower. The last product I’ve been
loving is the Bath & Body Works Coconut Lime Breeze body lotion. It’s a
lighter moisturizer compared to the Soap & Glory one. But I love it because
the smell reminds me of summer time!
This has been a terribly cold winter so far and I can't wait for it to be over and summer to come! I'll do another skin care routine when the warm weather comes around and I change up my system.
