I know my hometown of NYC is still a bit chilly. Since I mostly moved to a tropical country, I forgot how my skin changed and needed different care in colder weather. When I was last in NYC, my skin became drier much more easily and it could have doubled for the gecko in the Geico commercials (yikes).
I managed my winter skin by following a few simple beauty rules-basically remember to moisturize, protect, and renew you skin!
Here are a few beauty essentials I use from winter to spring:
1. La Roche Posay Anthelios SX Moisturizer with SPF 15, Ulta, $31.50
Tinted Moisturizer and/or Lotion with SPF (Face)
Lotion (Body)
It is essential to keep your skin moisturized, especially during those brutal winter months. I can normally get away with not moisturizing, but not when I am in cooler temperatures. I have eczema and sensitive skin so need a good moisturizer with lasting power. I like Vaselinebecause it is effective, affordable, and easy to find. The gel version also seems interesting – has anyone ever tried it?
Great tips! I agree that sunscreen is important, even in the winter!
awesome suggestions!
Great tips!

I always have dry skin so in the winter I go through bottles of lotion!
I have to moisturize! If not I get so dry. Great products!

I started using Dove moisturing cream oil this winter and it’s been quite effective. I’m also a big fan of that LRP Anthelios moisturizer. Glad it’s so much easier to find in the US now.

Sunscreen is so important. I’ve read that almond oil is best for hands and feet and plan to try it out
Loving your winter essentials! 🙂 xx
All great products! You know I love getting a peak inside beauty regimens. 🙂 xoxo
Right now….my face feels like it is the sahara desert, it is SO dry! I think I do want to get a tinted moisturizer, was so excited about the luminating one from my birchbox last month from Jouer. And….then it caused breakouts which required that I apply 3 kids of zit creams causing the dryness! ARGH!
My Bobbi Brown tinted moisturizer is my new favorite product!
Funny, I was actually looking for that exact tinted moisturizer today!
I can see why people are big fans!

In the winter I make sure to always remember to give my skin additional moisture products. These are great choices, I have not heard of the Cure, will need to try that one.
Answer: Clinique Yellow Face Cream.
I’ve used it since I was little, and have never had a problem! I usually use it less/not at all in the summer unless indoors, and I use it all the time in the winter. Also Korean face masks!
Fantastic!! I always have to remind myself to keep up with my face regime. The winter rain has given it a beating. I wish I lived in warmer climates!! Have a wonderful weekend! xx
This is a great post! I’m going skiing next week, so I can really use some tips;) Thanks for sharing!
I bought some Bobby Brown products…I let you know whether they are good after I’m back:)
