As it is now the dreaded wintery time of year (I don't like the cold.. ) i thought i would update my skin care routine. When the weather and temperature changes and drops, so does our body! Our skin and hair become dry and dull looking and i've found some ways and products to help battle this and not let the cold get to your precious locks and skin!
This is my head to toe winter survival skin care routine starting from the top..
Hair Care
I found this hair product in my local TkMaxx a couple of months ago and have been using it ever since, i have noticed a big difference in the shine and general feel of my hair. It was under £20 which you may still think is expensive but i personally am willing to pay to keep my hair looking healthy and what drew me into this product is the fact that it is packed full of tonnes of good, rich essential oils and proteins for your hair! It states to be an "Alll in One Hair Treatment" and to guarantee 10 benefits, which after having tested and tried it i believe it really does. I recommend this product to anyone struggling with dry, brittle, fuzzy, dull looking hair.
Facial Skin Care
My skin care routine for my face has never really changed a massive amount as you all know i am a huge fan of Neal's Yard Remedies products and have found that for any issue your having for your skin Neal's Yard have a solution! My newest purchase has been the simple micellar cleansing wipes, after using and loving the cleansing water i saw these and just had to try them and i love these too already, they're great for on the go if you don't have time to do a complete cleansing routine then these will do the job for a one off or as i use them to take the initial amount of makeup off before properly cleansing. After this i will then go in with my Rejuvinating Frankincense refining cleanser and a muslin cloth, then to my Palmarosa toner and daily moisture! All of these products i've found work amazingly in making your skin so super soft, hydrated and clean feeling!
Body Skin Care
Onto my body skin care routine, I absolutely love taking baths during the colder months as obviously they are a lot warmer than showers! One thing that i hate though is having a bath that has nothing in it such as a bath bomb, bath salts or my favourite thing bubbles.. Neal's Yard sell and amazing "Aromatic Foaming Bath" which is now my all time favourite bath product, not only does it create amazing bubbles the blend of essential oils smell absolutely amazing especially after a long stressful or tense day there's nothing better! The oils always balance my mood and help to uplift and relax me.
If my skin is feeling extra dry any day usually around bed time i will use my Soap & Glory The Righteous Butter, this body butter is one of their originals so it has the original scent and is super thick and creamy which immediately helps to hydrate your skin, the reason i only use this before bed and not during the day is because as it is a body butter it is rather thick and doesn't soak into your skin very quickly so i don't want to be during the day pulling skinny jeans onto sticky legs, eugh!
But my favourite go to moisturiser which i use morning and night is definitely my Vita CoCo Coconut oil, not only is it 100% raw cold pressed organic oil it is the most amazing moisturiser and everything else (but i won't get into that now)
Foot Skin Care
Lastly the skin care routine i have for my feet, not a subject that is brought up often but i think it is important to care and look after every part of your body and during the winter as your colder your skin may be slightly dryer and one thing i absolutely love to do is to cover my feet in Johnsons baby Oil and then cover them in thick fluffy socks, in the morning you will wake up to super soft feet, perfect to do before a night out or event!
So that is all for my head to toe winter edition skin care routine i have linked a video for anyone who may want to watch me talk through my skin care routine over on my YouTube Channel!
what're your favourite tips for keeping your skin hydrated during the winter?
