It’s that time of year where skin gets cracked, lips look dry and hair looks limp and lifeless, that means its time to ditch some of the products you were using and opt for ones that restore moisture, and help make your whole body glow. Here are some products that will have you loving your winter body!
Treat Extreme Dry Patches- Unfortunately skin is not immune to the harsh affects of the winter time air. We are constantly exposing our skin to heat then freezing cold then back to heat and then back out to the cold. All this torture we put our skin through only leads to dry, patchy looking skin and sometimes even eczema. If you suffer from any of these symptoms pick up some Cetaphil Restoraderm Skin Restoring Body Lotion. This puppy is scent free and will leave even the driest of skin feeling silky smooth. $12.79
Try upgrading your soap- Instead of using the same old soap that usually leaves residue behind on your skin, opt for a soap that truly penetrates your skin and restores moisture to the places that are truly lacking. What most people don’t know is that your skin has a layer of natural oils on it that help maintain the ideal amount of moisture, and most soaps tend to strip that oil away. Find a soap that does just the opposite like Dove Winter Care Beauty Bar that is clinically proven to leave skin feeling moisturized without stripping essential nutrients in your skin. Also it does not leave a gross residue behind like so many other soaps. $8.99
Use the good stuff on your face TOO!- It seems like most of the time we reserve the good stuff for the skin on our face, but now we can share it with the rest of our body. Lush Ro’s Argan is a body conditioner that is packed with argan oil to leave skin feeling ultra silky and smooth. $29.95
Calm Itchiness- Just like a scalp becomes itchy when it is dry so does skin. How annoying is it when your skin already feels like sandpaper and then is itchy beyond belief. Nothing is grosser to me than watching someone itch their skin while flakes fall off them EW! Settle that itchy skin with Aveeno Skin Relief Itch Calming Lotion, that calms the itch while leaving skin with a cool, tingly feeling. $7.29
Butter Up- The best way to achieve truly moisturized skin is to pick up a body butter. Body Butter is the most ultra rich version of a moisturizer out there. The Body Shop has tons of different body butters to choose from, some of them even smell good enough to eat!
Opt for an Ointment- if all else fails try something a little different from the norm – ointment. Lubriderm Intense Skin Repair Ointment is AMAZING and works wonders on chapped and cracked skin. If you cannot find a cream that will help this type of skin problem, then opt for this ointment and then use a little moisturizer over that! $4.67
