Blogmas Day 3- Winter Skin Survival Kit

 As much as I love this time of year, the winter weather is less than enjoyable, with bitter cold winds and rain taking it's toll on your skin. However, there are some products that I couldn't live without during these winter months, to help bring my skin back to life.

Moisturiser is an essential at this time of year, not just on the face but the rest of your body too. I swear by the brand Aveeno for adding some extra moisture to my skin, as it is suitable for my sensitive eczema-prone skin, due to the fact that it doesn't cause irritation to my skin. My top picks from the range are the daily moisturising lotion, as well as the hand cream, both absorbing quickly and leaving skin feeling soft and smooth. 

 Looking after the skin on your face is also incredibly important at this time of year, as unlike the rest of your skin, it doesn't get covered up, so is laid bare to the winter elements. I occasionally use this hydration mask by No7, especially if my skin is looking slightly dry and lacklustre. It adds an instant boost of hydration and moisture to perk up dull, dry skin.

 

As well as my skin, the cold weather has a serious effect on my lips, causing them to be dry and chapped. For when my lips have become sore and cracked due to the weather, I use the Blistex Repairing Lip Balm as it contains Jojaba oil, Cocoa Butter and Menthol to soothe and protect the lips. When my lips are just slightly dry however, I couldn't be without my Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm to add some moisture to my lips, through the use of Vitamin E and Peppermint oil.
