SKIN CARE TIPS FOR THE COLD SEASON
Just because summer is over , that doesn't mean that we should neglect our skin,on the contrary,our skin needs even more care.The cold , windy weather normally brings us chapped lips and dry skin , but I have the perfect products to make it through the season .
Because my skin gets very dry and sometimes flaky, I have to exfoliate it every time I take a shower,so this is my shower and skin care routine:
First thing first: before taking a shower , I apply my Bee Good Facial Exfoliator and I leave it on my skin until I finish my shower,and I remember every couple of minutes to gently massage it onto my face and lips .This is a product that I absolutely adore and I have received it in my Glossybox a while ago , but I use it at least once per week and it's very gentle to the sensitive skin . Also , after I wash it off I immediately use a face serum and a hydrating cream.
I bought Ecotools for its dual cleansing pad,which means that you can use it on both sides ; the front for cleaning and the back pad for exfoliating the skin.I always use it with the Verbena Leaf Soap from L'Occitane, because this soap is also a gentle exfoliator and it smells really nice.I would say it is unisex,so your partner might like it as well.
I really had mixed feelings if I should include in this post my Scrub Love with Charcoal and Avocado because I have a love-hate relationship with it.Why?Well...Whenever I use it , my bathtub becomes a mess,the smell isn't very appealing and my skin gets a bit dark because of the big chunks of charcoal ,but I will continue using this product because it actually works.It's the best exfoliator that I have ever used,but it can be a bit harsh with the skin.After I use it my skin looks a bit redish but after one minute it just changes to its normal colour and my skin becomes baby soft.This is the perfect moment to use a body cream.
Malee Conditioning Body Cream quickly became my favourite body cream for the cold season.It smells gorgeous, and it works so good for my dry skin . This is the only body cream which I use that my husband doesn't say ' the smell is too strong!' or 'don't use it before we go to bed! ' .It has a buttery texture , but it gets absorbed easily and it contains vitamins beneficial for your skin.
Do you have any tips ? What is your skin care routine?
My skincare routine is basically non-existent, and it’s needed so bad during the winter months! I love the sound of the Eco Tools sponge, it’s sounds fabulous, and the pictures of you are gorgeous too.. 😍
ReplyDeleteYou really have to try the Eco Tools sponge <3
DeleteGreat pics, I just recently got some Autumn essentials too. I can't bare to have un-nurtured skin.
ReplyDeleteThank you!That's great :D
DeleteI swear by exfoliators in the autumn/winter because my skin gets so dry. I've just bought some Korean beauty face masks to try out, I'm intrigued to see what the fuss is about.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to buy Korean skincare products as well! Let me know if they're good . :*
DeleteGreat advice and some lovely products too! Will definitely be trying some of your recommendations out.
