Winter Skin Survival Guide

IF all this cold, rainy weather continues to make your lips chapped, hair brittle and fine lines more visible and you’re begging for added hydration…we’re in the same boat as you and have your back!  We’re answering your cry for help with input from ME! I devised a winter beauty survival guide to get us all back on track and feeling more hydrated.
PRODUCTS TO GET ON RADARS:
FACE
 
NEUTROGENA HYDRO BOOST COLLECTION
PRICE: $18.99
SHOP: Target
WHY THIS WORKS:  
As our skin transitions over timeespecially this time of year, it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain hydrated, glowing skin that will last all day.  Neutrogena’s Hydro Boost collection (2 options for face and 1 fab gel-cream for eyes) uses hyaluronic acid, glycerin and an olive extract that creates a reservoir of hydration, releasing moisture on demand where your skin needs it most. Works great under makeup. 
SIMPLE SKIN CARE MICELLAR CLEANSING WATER 
PRICE: $6.99
SHOP: Mass Retailers and  Drugstores Nationwide
WHY THIS WORKS:  
Harsh cold & rainy weather we’ve been having here, this is an ideal time to have an “About Face” & reboot with this next breakthrough product from Simple Skincare. Micellar Cleansing Water is an internationally-inspired cleansing format loved by makeup artists across the globe. It thoroughly cleanses and hydrates skin, instantly boosting skin’s hydration by 90%!!  Plus, Micellar Cleansing Water is formulated with Triple-Purified Water that helps remove contaminants known to irritate skin for a gentle cleanse. The best part is no rinsing required!
      
BODY
 
SUAVE PROFESSIONALS SEA MINERAL INFUSION SPRAY LOTION
PRICE: $5.99
SHOP: Mass Retailers, Select Drugstores, Supermarkets Nationwide
WHY THIS WORKS:  
What a cool way to apply body lotion! It’s a fact for centuries the Dead Sea has been known to contain the earth’s greatest concentration of skin rejuvenating minerals!  So Suave harnessed these ingredients to infuse Dead Sea minerals onto skin with a spray on lotion leaving bodies smooth and luminous. This sheer, light formula absorbs instantly and is proven to moisturize as well as Ahava Mineral Body Lotion at a fraction of the price. For someone constantly on the go and low maintenance this is a fast and easy way to hydrate. 
 
DOVE’S NEW DRY SPRAY ANTIPERSPIRANT
PRICE: $5.49
SHOP: Mass Retailers, Select Drugstores, Supermarkets Nationwide
WHY THIS WORKS:  
Dove’s newest product has been stirring up tons of buzz and it definitely grabbed my attention because it goes on instantly dry from the moment it touches the skin and doesn’t leave visible residue! Dove’s new entry gives you 48 hours of odor and wetness protection and offers the brands signature promise infusing 1/4 moisturizing technology in this surprising new dry spray. Underarms feel dry and smooth. Comes in 6 fragrances including one for Sensitive Skin. This is big news because if you’ve ever used a spray deodorant think about how when you spray it, it’s wet and needs a few moments to dry before you want to throw on you top! Old versions also leave a residue what tends to bunch up under arms over the course of the day…LOVELY RIGHT? There were clearly tons of draw backs.  Until now! Key to successful use is to shake the dry spray first before using it. 
     
HAIR
L’OREAL PARIS OLEO THERAPY COLLECTION 
DEEP RECOVERY MASK
PRICE: $8.99
INTENSE REPAIR TREATMENT, SELF-HEATING HOT OIL

MAKEUP TIPS
PIXI Beauty
SHEA BUTTER LIP BALM IN HONEY NECTAR (TRUE NUDE SHADE) 
PRICE: $8
SHOP: TARGET
WHY IT WORKS:
Shea butter and Vitamin E are the two beneficial, power ingredients that lock in hydration and treat dry lips and nourish long term. Plus you get the bonus of a hint-of-tint. 
BONUS TIP: You can also use this multi-tasking balm on your cheeks by dabbing some on for sheer flush of color! 
CORRECTION CONCENTRATE (BRIGHTENING PEACH)
PRICE: $12
SHOP: TARGET
WHY THEY WORK: 
8 hours of sleep in a jar it’s a concentrated color corrector that cancels out darkness and has a long wearing brightening effect. Universal peach tone which I love. It also works to soften and blur lines and give skin a fresh, rested, bright appearance. It contains Rose Hip extract which is great for cell regenerating and skin elasticity, Vitamin A, C and E to protect and brighten complexions. 
BONUS TIP: 
Use as a thin layer on lips to neutralize natural lip color and proved a great base for lip color
LAST TIP = D.I.Y.
If you’ve been having a ton of sore throats recently a quick and easy remedy to soothe is to suck on of all things…marshmallows! The glycerin ingredient in marshmallows is what can help to coat the throat.
