Winter Skincare Essentials

Winter can be a really hard time for your frozen fingers and toes, and especially your skin. Skin can feel dry and appear dull during these cold months.




Just follow these four simple steps to get your healthy glowing skin back. These skin care tips are important all year long, but especially important during winter. 

And if you're thinking that you don't have time, then don't even worry. Because these will take up less than 5 minutes a day. 

Happy winter!

  1. Shiseido - Pureness Balancing Softener Alcohol-Free

This product will sweep away the dead skin that's lying on your skins surface. Not only will your skin feel smoother, but it will appear more bright and radiant.  Dead skin on the surface does not reflect light, and when you sweep it away, your skin underneath will appear glowing and radiant!

     2.  Clinique - Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief


This moisturizer is like a glass of water for your skin. It provides instant hydration and absorbs very quickly so you won't get a sticky feeling leftover. Cold weather makes your skin feel more dry, so this can be used as a daily moisturizer or for days that are especially crispy and cold. Don't start winter without this!

     3.  Clinique - Turnaround Instant Facial




To complement your daily exfoliation, it's great to give your skin an exfoliation boost at least twice a week. This exfoliating mask by Clinique provides a type of micro-dermabrasion scrub and also gives a strong level of chemical exfoliation. It will literally leave your skin sparkling. I like to do this on Friday nights and also mid-week.

      4.  Water




Hydration for your body is really important to keep your skin healthy and moist. Figure out a way that works best for you to get your daily water intake. I like to get a glass of room temperature water in as soon as I wake up, and I prefer to drink herbal tea throughout the day. 

Use these winter skin care tips to keep your skin soft and smooth all winter long!
