Winter Skincare

By MeghanGrant 17 Comments

Forgive my poorly staged picture but I took this in a rush.  We’re still friends, right?
 
I really hate winter weather in general, but one of the worst problems is how dried out my skin gets.  This year, I tried to be more proactive with my skin care to prevent the problems of the past.
Here’s what I’m using:
{On My Face}
I’m using Rinse Squalane Oil in the morning under my tinted moisturizer and at night under my Nivea cream.  I use Nivea cream because I read on Ashley’s blog that it rivals La Mer.  Which is cool because Nivea is definitely in my budget where as La Mer isn’t.  I also use Bobbi Brown’s Hydrating Eye Cream in the morning under my concealer and then again before bed.  I also swear by Dr. Lipp Original Nipple Balm for Lips for dry lips year round.  I also use Bioderma to remove my make-up before bed.  There are times I come home from work and just use this right away.  It is SO good.  I highly recommend and I have really sensitive skin.  I also use Boots No. 7 Mineral Spray to set my make-up and also before bed.  It instantly hydrates and I highly recommend if your skin is really dehydrated.  Sometimes, I spray before a run to keep my face from getting too dry.
{On My Hands}
In the morning, I use Library of Flowers Willow & Water hand cream (not pictured).  It is hands down my favorite scent right now!  At night, I use Burt’s Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream (recommended by Joey) treatment followed by Lollia Relax hand cream.  I am sure it is mind over matter, but I find that Lollia’s Relax fragrance does just that for me.
{On My Feet}
Because I’ve started running again, my feet are super cauloused.  So, I’m using Bath & Body Works Heel of Approval.  I put it on before I run and again before bed and I have definitely noticed a difference this time.
{All Over}
 
I have really sensitive skin and use only Dove bath products.  When I saw Mia’s review of Dove Winter Care body wash, I decided to try it out.  I’m obsessed!  I use Eucerin Intensive Care body lotion.  It is so hydrating that I’m pretty sure I’ll use this year round.  I also use Josie Maran Argan Oil on my face, around my cuticles, on my lips, and anywhere else that needs a little extra hydration.
What are you using to hydrate your skin this winter?  What should I try next?

    My favorite part about this is that you have all drugstore and easily accessible products. I swear, sometimes I click on something like this and it's like $120 for a bottle of lotion that's like 1 oz. That's just not my life. Even if I had lots of money, I can't imagine spending it like that. I cheap lotions and creams like this!

    Great shares–I need to check out the heel of approval you mentioned!
    And of course we're totally still friends despite a rushed photo (still looks ok to me!!) 🙂

    blogger keeps eating my comments today!! Wah! I actually really like winter weather but cannot stand how dry everything feels! Definitely need to grab some of that heel of approval. My feet are SO dry and cracked 🙁

    I so need that foot cream. My feet are terribly dry. I love la mer but hate the price tag. I so need to check out that Nivea cream!! Thanks for posting this.

    I keep looking for that Dove body wash and I haven't been able to find it. I really want to try it though! That is a fun fact about the Nivea cream too! I actually have some right now in my makeup bag that I keep in my purse. Those other products sound very nice too. Thanks for sharing! 🙂

    I will only use Dove body wash, too – it's just so moisturizing! I tried La Mer once and honestly didn't think it was worth the money so you're definitely better off with the Nivea 😉 My favorite winter product for my face is Egyptian Magic!
