February 4th; 2016
Hello readers the winter and I are far from being best friends; I am a summer baby. I was born in February but where I was born February is a hot summer month. Luckily the winter has been nice so far in France but things can change anytime. Not only my spirit but also my skin have an issue with the winter season. I can't do too much for my spirit but I have some great staple products to help each part of my skin go through the season with no damages.
BODY
Castor oil
For many years I have not been able
to find a good body moisturizer that would be efficient enough for my dry skin
during the winter months. So what I used to do was mixing some castor oil with
a regular moisturizer. This simple step improves drastically the moisture properties
of your regular cream. And almost any cream becomes suitable for the winter.
Palmer's cocoa butter body lotion
Recently I found out about this cream thanks to a friend who swears by it. She convinced me to give it a try and I fall in love with it. It moisturizes my body very well; it penetrates the skin fast and leaves it so soft. This product has a strong but lovely natural coco butter smell. It is also very cheap, so what else can we ask ?
NAILS/HANDS
Caudalie hand and nail cream
Caudalie hand and nail cream
As long as I can remember my mom has
always used hand and nail creams and her hands are beautiful! She has always told
me that I should use one especially as my hands are always dry. It took me
years to follow her advice but I finally did it several years ago and this
Caudalie hand and nail cream is one of my favorite. I love the fact that it is
effective but not greasy. The smell is nice but not too
strong unlike many others hand creams I have tried.
THE FACE
Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream and La Roche-Posay Hydréane rich moisturizing cream for sensitive skin.
Those
two facial creams are my favorite during the cold days. Those are great moisturizers for
normal to combination skin in the winter. They do not make my combination skin
looks greasy. Both products are fragrance-free which is a good thing for
my very sensitive skin.(learn everything on moisturizers HERE)
LIPS
Caudalie lip conditioner
I said it so many times on this blog
but I am going to say it again. My lips are naturally very dry all year-round.
I have tried a tone of lip balms but this one is the only one who can repair my
lips. In the winter I love to use it in the evening so my lips get repair
during the night and in the morning they are much softer.
Nuxe Rêve de miel/ultra-nourishing lip balm for dry or damaged lips
This product is pretty unique and full of natural ingredients. It
looks and feels more like a very thick paste than a balm. It does not repair my lips but it does
protect them very well against the very cold weather. So I useit in the
winter only during the day time (read a detail review of this product HERE). As you can see I am more than prepare for the cold days to come.
What about you? Do you have any staple
products in the winter ?
