5 Genius Beauty Products To Bring Your Winter Skin Back To Life
Winter brings a lot of positives to life like cosy nights in (like we have other options in 2020 lol), living in your pjs and consuming nothing but hot choccy, but the chillier season can also wreak havoc on your skin.
For most of the year, I don’t have particularly problematic skin. It’s neither too dry or too oily, but in winter it’s a totally different ball game. My skin gets so dry that it starts to flake off and my face looks like a crusty old oil painting falling to pieces.
I’m like a snake shedding dead skin all over the place. My legs legit feel like a lizard’s scales right now. It’s just not cute. But thankfully, there’s heaps of products out there that will revive your winter skin and here’s five of our absolute faves.
Here are five beauty products to bring your winter skin back to life:
#1. Coffee Bar Exfoliator, Coconut Macchiato
$4.99 at Chemist Warehouse
Soft and smooth skin starts in the shower, so you need a good exfoliant and this one smells like an absolute treat. You just add some water, start scrubbing and let the oils absorb into your skin. Warning: don’t go too hard with with this bar as it’s pretty coarse.
#2. LUSH, Honey I Washed The Kids Soap
$7.50 per 100g from LUSH
Now that your skin is smooth, inject another hit of moisture with this adorable soap. Packed full of skin food like honey, aloe vera gel, bergamot and sweet wild orange oils, this soap looks like honeycomb and leaves your skin feeling hydrated and soft.
#3. Avène Hydrance Optimale UV Rich Hydrating Cream
$54.99 from Chemist Warehouse
This cult product is used religiously by some and is perfect for winter skin that needs some extra love and is feeling dry and tight. The rich hydrating cream soothes skin and helps prevent moisture-loss with a high concentration of Avène Thermal Spring Water, it also includes SPF so is perfect for wearing outdoors but thankfully, it doesn’t make your skin feel or look greasy.
#4. Dr.Jart+, Dermask Vital Hydra Solution Facial Mask
$8 at Sephora
There’s nothing better than a mask to add ever more moisture to your face. This Dr.Jart mask helps to replenish your skin’s moisture levels and will leave your face feeling plump and hydrated.
#5. Ella Baché, Rose Hydration Mist
$39 from Ella Baché
The final and much-needed step to keeping your skin hydrated this season is a mist that can be used throughout the day and I’ve become obsessed with this Rose Hydration Mist. Containing rose hydrosol, hyaluronic acid complex, witch hazel, and natural sugar complex, these all work harmoniously in addressing long-term skin dehydration aka the effects of this never-ending winter season.
