When the weather outside is frightful, my favorite thing to do is cuddle up with hot cup of tea and have a cozy night in. But lets be real, Los Angeles weather is far from frightful. However I still like to pretend it's 5 degrees and snowy every now and again.
Regardless of where you live, chances are this winter season has got your skin feeling a bit dry. But I don't have time to religiously slather myself in moisturizer every morning and night. Here are a few of my favorite quick fixes to help that winter skin.
Favorite Winter Mask
I am a fan girl for masks. I have a different mask for virtually every day of the week and every time of day. Although it's hard to choose, my favorite winter mask has got to be the Fresh Black Tea Firming Overnight Mask. It is incredibly hydrating and comfortable enough to wear overnight. In the morning my skin feels brand spanking new, it's plump, smooth and toned. If you struggle with flaky, dull skin this is the mask for you.
Favorite Winter Oil
If you're like me and have every skin issue imaginable, be it flakiness, redness, blemishes, fine lines, you name it, then listen up. Oils are your best friend. Before you scroll on because oils, "just aren't for you", WAIT. The Luna Sleeping Oil from Sunday Riley, might change your world. This oil tackles it all. It combats fine lines and wrinkles with a retinol ester, soothes and heals skin with chamomile, and tones and hydrates with avocado oil. After a bad skin day I apply this before going to bed and when I wake up my skin is significantly better. The texture is smoother, the redness is cut in half, my blemishes are smaller and my skin is hydrated. I swear by this stuff.
Favorite Winter Lip Balm
My lips aren't usually that dry, but when that winter weather hits they shrivel up without notice (it's fucking rude). My favorite fixes are thick balms. I like to be able to put on a lip balm before bed and wake up with it still on my lips. I cannot stress how much I hate it when lip balms disappear after 2 or 3 hours. There are worse things in life, but come on. The Kari Gran Lip Whip is beyond. It's soothing with a nice peppermint scent and it feels buttery soft on the lips. The best part, It stays on my lips for ages! It's a must.
Favorite Body Cream
I'm not a huge fan of super thick moisturizers for my body. I just hate the feeling of my clothing sticking to me. So I've been on the hunt for a thin moisturizer that still hydrates. I didn't expect much from the Nip + Fab Body Lotion, because Kylie Jenner is one of their brand ambassadors. No hate directed at Kylie but I suspected a flashy marketing tactic in place of a quality product. However it's actually an amazing product. It smells lovely, not too overpowering, and it hydrates with out being heavy. Plus it doesn't just leave a layer on the skin, even after it's absorbed I feel like my skin is hydrated.
Stay cozy!
