Shielding my Skin from Snowpocalypse

This Winter has been extra harsh on my skin and generally speaking, I spend the first month or two of the Season trying to find a skincare regimen that works at keeping the dryness at bay.

The week I noticed dryness creeping in (it was so much earlier this year!)- I went to Target because I know they have locally unique beauty items compared to say, Wal-Mart.

I've always been drawn to and have had good results using the "Boots Botanics" products and thankfully, because they aren't the MOST inexpensive products, they didn't let me down.

These two items have been my life savers this Season.

I wash my face with an all-natural acne beauty bar, splash my face with cold water to close up my pores- and then put on the 100% Organic Facial Oil to lock in the moisture. Immediately after, I apply the Face Super Balm- it always makes my face look shiny for awhile- so don't plan on going anywhere right after unless you want to look like you have the oiliest skin on the planet.  Sometimes, I also put another moisturizer on top of that- just to seal it all in.

I have really smooth, clean and moisturized skin right now....if I do say so myself:)

So, if you're looking for a skin saver this Winter- try these products or a similar routine and see how it works out for you.

Autumn's Skincare.

I'm sure you've noticed that my Blog isn't about one thing in particular.
Let's keep it interesting, per usual.

If you're anything like me, changing Seasons bring changing skin types with them.
I've found 4 products that I've found pretty essential and thought I'd share them with you.

So, this was pretty surprising for me.
I'm the type to shop Sephora for hours (literally) while reading reviews on products and spending an arm & a leg.
I was in a bind and needed something cheap to save my skin.
Turns out, St.Ives is pretty awesome. They're about $4 per item....ahhh! Amazing.

This lotion, I found by chance at a Sally's Beauty Supply store.
I've gotten say, it's incredibly moisturizing...it's honestly changed my skin. I have those little bumps up and down my arms (I'm finding this is a lot more common than I thought)- and this lotion actually helps eliminate those! It's also got a subtle scent that I love. It's about $9.

Last, but definitely not least. Sugar Lip Treatment.
You've heard about it, right?
SO. GOOD.
It's a combination of balm and gloss.
It's protective and moisturizing and wonderful.
Unfortunately it's also the most expensive item out of the 4.
$22 at Sephora.

Butter Lips

Well, this is my what? Third post this week? So that's a good sign that A) I'm not as sick anymore and B) you won't have to read (too) many more posts about how sick I am.

Win/Win.

 

There was a Woman I spoke with over my 'Christmas Break'- and although older than me by nearly 20 years, I found myself envying the dewey glow of her skin & the nearly line-less pink that was her lips.

 

So although I have no "real" resolutions for this New Year- I am excited to discover and daily utilize new beauty products.

Which of course, is no big chore for me anyway.

 

I recently discovered a new found love for the Korres products.  Specifically the Wild Rose Brightening Cleanser & the Pomegranate Lip Butters.  They make me feel pretty....and fresh!
