Drink Up These Cold Weather Skin Quenchers

Don’t you just hate it when it’s finally cold enough to throw on some cute boots and a cozy sweater, but then your skin dries out? Dry skin can be red, flaky, and patchy, and it’s not an ideal palate on which to apply make-up. These luxurious cleansers, moisturizers, and cream recommendations will revitalize your face, hands, and body with hydrating ingredients for an even and radiant glow.

Cleansers – A good skin day, week, and month starts with deep cleaning that doesn’t strip and dry out the face. Most people’s skin becomes drier in the fall and winter, including those with oily skin finding they have more combination-type skin. Clear the grime, pollution, and makeup from the day, and prep your face to receive a moisturizer every morning.

IT Cosmetics’s Confidence in a Cleanser is a gentle, soap-free, serum-like cleanser that features reparative hydration. Colloidal oatmeal evens out redness with calming properties while the cleanser washes away all traces of even the toughest, long-lasting makeup, grime, and oil build-up without stripping the skin. It contains an Anti-Aging Armour Rejuvenating Concentrate™ to seriously moisturize, while a super ceramide complex, collagen, and hyaluronic acid smooths premature signs of aging with plumping action.

Peter Thomas Roth’s Water Drench™ Cleanser is a fragrance-free and ultra-hydrating formula that removes make-up and impurities. Marshmallow Root softens and smooths the surface, hyaluronic acid locks in moisture from the natural environment, and sodium PCA plus coconut oil supplies nutrients. Its ultra-rich, creamy texture is luxurious and cleans deeply, hydrates, and leaves no residue.

Moisturizers – The right moisturizer can be hard to find. It can’t be too greasy and it needs to absorb into the skin without any unwanted residue. It’s important to moisturize both day and night, and it’s good to use different formulas for each time of day. A day moisturizer with a tint evens out skin tone while hydrating and protecting, while a night cream can be a bit creamier and intense.

Origins’s High-Potency Night-A-Mins™ Oil-Free Resurfacing Cream With Fruit-Derived AHAs is an excellent, lightweight night cream that is packed with vitamins B, C, E, H, plus calcium for oily and combination skin – because even oily skin types need the right kind of moisture. It’s oil-free, so it won’t clog pores, and refines the skin with AHAs derived from sugar beets and grapes, two of nature’s powerhouses, making it radiate.

Omorovicza’s Complexion Perfector moisturizes with an SPF 20 protection that prevents sun damage and protects against free radicals that cause discoloration and fine lines. It smooths, stimulates, and firms with a light tint that evens the skin tone. Collagen and elastin production is increased, and vitamin C and lupin increase cell turnover.

Hand and Body Creams – are real skin-savers in chilly, dry weather. Hands dry out especially after washing and drying throughout the day. And there’s nothing worse than dry, itchy skin after shaving your legs in the winter. Hydrate that parched, red skin with all-natural solutions that smell amazing.

With the latest line of body and hand creams in Grown Alchemist’s collection, plant botanicals offer rich and organic luxury for a silky, smooth finish and glow. Their Intensive Body Cream with Rosa Damascena, Acai & Pomegranate maximizes elasticity and firmness while it softens. Packed with antioxidants from pomegranate and cupuacu butter, it hydrates naturally without the use of chemicals. Grown Alchemist’s Hand Cream with Vanilla & Orange Peel soothes dry skin with active botanicals and softens without any greasy feel. Grape seed, wheatgerm, and rosehip oil are also loaded with antioxidants that fight free radicals while adding pure radiance, suppleness, and silkiness to hands. Plus, the scents are aromatic and soothing to the nose, too.
