Winter is upon us. We let go of the lovely autumn changes, the leaves falling and the gentle weather changes. We now have to embrace what is the cold, harsh conditions that leaves our skin feeling vulnerable, dry and unruly.
I find myself struggling to get thorough winter, as a hater of cold weather. I find my skin and I definitely share a mutual feeling on the matter. A dry, tight skinned face is not a nice feeling, along with rough chapped hands. Now think of those rough hands, passing along your the dry skin on your face when your eyes stream due to the gusty winds. What comes to mind? Sore? Uncomfortable? Indeed, exactly those things.
Today, I am sharing two of my favourite products to use in winter. One for your hands and one for your face, it’s as simple as that.
The first product is The Body Shop Wild Rose Handcream. My favourite thing about is the cream is the smell, a heavenly and light smell of rose is just amazing. The cream absorbs quickly into the skin, giving the skin instant satisfaction and relief. It has water resistant qualities, when you wash your hands the cream remains completely in tact still providing moisture to the skin. Brilliant right?
My other winter favourite, the LUSH Oatifix face masque. If you know me personally, you know that I love LUSH products. Nothing beats a natural face masque to gently ease your facial skin into winter. It contains bananas, vanilla and oats to nourish and moisturise the skin, illipe butter to reduce any redness caused by the cold weather, ground almonds to polish the skin and give it a glow and kaolin to cleanse at the same time… because that’s the main point of a masque. Along with its porridge like look, it boasts a delicious smell that you cannot help but want to eat (but I refrain from doing so!).
What are your favourite products for the cold, winter months?
