Living in cold climates can really impact your skin in the winter. When I’m back in Minnesota I can instantly feel the dryness and I feel like I’m putting lotion on my face and hands ALL the time. In Missouri the climate isn’t as dry or harsh, but I still use different products when winter rolls around. So I wanted to highlight a few of my winter skincare picks!
For Face
I use Kiehl’s products year round, but I really layer on this moisturizer when the temperature gets cold! My other favorite winter moisturizer is Josie Maran’s Argan Oil. I finally bought this after reading about it for months online and then buying a small sample. It smells so good and a little bit goes a long way! I use a drop or too if I need a little extra moisture. I have tried using it in the summer but my skin feels really heavy (especially with the humidity in St Louis!), so I love it most in the winter. Finally, I really layer on the eye cream when it gets cold and dry – both morning and night! I stick with Kiehl’s Avocado Eye Cream and really love it. It’s creamy but stays in place and won’t run into your eyes.
For Body
My hands get insanely dry in the winter – I’m sure I’m not alone! My holy grail hand lotion is this product from Aveda. It smells so good and isn’t greasy! I have tons of small containers laying all over the place. Another favorite is this lotion from L’Occitaine.
My favorite body lotion all year is Aveeno’s Daily Moisturizing Lotion. You can’t go wrong! Not scented and not greasy. Plus if Jennifer Aniston uses it, has to be something good right? 🙂
