Winter Skincare Essentials

• 

Over the last 8 years I’ve really begun to focus on my skincare routine. I’ve been searching for products that not only work well, but also use quality ingredients. I’ve tried everything from drugstore brands to high end designer skincare products. And after years of testing, there are a couple brands and products that have really stood out to me. These are my winter skincare essentials.

*I have purchased all of these items multiple times & even my mom now uses these products!

Cleanser :: This is my favorite cleanser. It’s light and leaves your skin feeling clean. It doesn’t leave your skin feeling tight like many other cleansers.

Exfoliant :: This isn’t winter specific because I use this buffing cream all year round. I use it once or twice a week to help refresh my skin.

Eye Cream :: I ADORE this eye cream and the built in applicator. I didn’t realize how much eye cream I was wasting until I used this. The metal tip helps smooth the eye cream in without wasting any and it feels AMAZING around your eyes. It’s pricy, but lasts forever!

Intense Moisturizer :: This moisturizing cream may be one of my favorite products ever. It’s super thick, but doesn’t feel heavy. My skin instantly feels hydrated when I put it on. I use this all year long, but especially in the winter.

Rich Cream :: As odd as it may sound, this cream reminds me of cashmere. It feels so luxurious as I message it into my skin. I usually use this in the morning and the intense moisturizer at night. But sometimes I switch it around. Both of these moisturizers are great morning and/or evening options.

Serum :: I add this serum in the morning when my skin is really asking for more hydration.

Overnight oil :: I use this oil in the evening when my skin is really asking for more hydration. Sometimes I do it without a cream on top, but I often add it AND a cream for extra hydration. I do not use it every night.

Hydrating mask :: I use this hydrating mask year round, but during the winter I try to add this hydrating mask to my weekly routine.

Detox Mask :: Again, I use this year round. This mask leaves your skin feeling lighter.

Radiance Serum :: For the most part, I have a pretty even complexion. But I got this radiance serum as part of a set I purchased so I decided to try it. WOW. I had no idea how much it would even out my skin.

Elixir :: This elixir is a travel must have for me, but I also love to spray it on my face after my makeup is completed. It gives a nice dewy, hydrated finish and smells incredible! I use it year round, but in the summer it’s the perfect afternoon refresher.
