Say Goodbye to Dry

This time of the year is absolutely brutal on our skin.  Whether it be from the cold weather, the strong winds, or the overbearing heaters each one is leading to our skin to be extremely dry, and not just our skin but our lips too!  Nothing looks grosser then having dry, scaly skin or lips that are literally flaking off. The best solution to keeping skin and lips glowing is to exfoliate, and buff that dead skin away.  Here are some of my favorite products to help with this problem!

1. Brown Sugar Lip Polish - by Fresh
This is a product that I can NOT live with out, and you won't be able to when you try it.  This formula is enriched with brown sugar crystals which are meant to buff away the dry skin on lips.  This product actually tastes good on your lips and is safe to swallow if you get some in your mouth because it is just sugar.  This product is amazing because I get really dry lips and sometimes even chap stick doesn't take away the flakiness of them.  This is my go to when I notice my lips looking extra chapped.  It is so simple to use.  Just take literally the tiniest amount on your fingernail.  When I say tiny I mean tiny.  A little of this product goes a LONG way.  Apply it to your lips and rub your lips together for as long as you want.  I rub it all over my lips then rub them together until the solution is fully dissolved on my lips.  After using this product my lips look noticeably softer, and kissable!  They truly look and feel amazing, and allow for chapstick or what ever it is your putting on your lips to work amazingly.  This comes in a small tub but it lasts such a long time and is worth the money!
Sugar Lip Polish = $22.50 which is expensive but it lasts a really long time and is worth every penny!

2. Softsoap Coconut Scrub Body Wash
This stuff is an absolute must not only in the winter but YEAR ROUND.  This formula is infused with actual crushed coconut and jojoba butter extracts, when combined create an amazing body polish.  It helps to exfoliate your skin while also promoting healthier, glowing skin.  Not only is the formula amazing but it smells awesome.  It reminds me of being on a tropical island.  It smells like coconuts but sometimes reminds me of fresh cookies.  I love this stuff and use it every other day to ensure that I have smooth, beautiful looking skin.  This is also an amazing product to use before you go for a spray tan.  It literally scrubs off all of your dead skin, revealing a new layer of skin which is ideal for a spray tan!  You can buy this stuff at your local CVS or Walgreens
Softsoap Coconut Scrub Body Wash = $5


3. Exfoliating Scrub - by Clinique
An absolute necessity for beautiful skin on your face is to exfoliate at least once a week.  In doing so you are allowing for dead skin cells to be scrubbed away, revealing beautiful skin.  This formula's results remind me of what my face looks like after a facial.  Usually a facial scrubs away dullness, and a gray layer of skin that forms from the extremities of the environment surrounding us.  This is exactly what this exfoliating scrub does to your skin.  It scrubs away all that dullness, flakiness, and dryness revealing beautiful, baby soft skin.  Use this at least once a week and you will notice a serious difference in the look and feel of your skin.
Exfoliating Scrub by Clinique = $18
If you're not looking to spend that much, St. Ives exfoliating face wash is also another product that works amazingly, and is far cheaper.  You can find this at your local CVS or Walgreens.

So don't let your dry skin be the focus point of your look.  Prevent dryness with these 3 products that will ensure a healthy looking glow, and complexion!
