Combat Cold Weather with these Moisturizers

Hello Everyone!

As I said in my previous post about loving the cooler weather, it is also important to stay properly hydrated by not only drinking plenty of fluids, but also using the proper moisturizers and spf to protect your skin. I thought it would be helpful to share what I use to keep myself hydrated through the chilly months. I start off my washing my face with a mild soap and surprisingly it's tada Ivory soap! It is simple and has no odd colors or drenched in fragrances. 

Next, I put on the Kiehl's Calendula Herbal Extract Alcohol-Free Toner that at first glance looks odd or disgusting (as people who have seen it in my room have commented), but the pieces floating in the toner are Calendula petals, that are mild to soothe sensitive skin. 

After the toner, I use the Olay Regenerist Regenerating Serum (Oi...say that five times fast) that contains amino peptide and B3 concentrations that tones skin. Then I use the Kiehl's Sodium PCA Oil-Free Moisturizer, and Sodium PCA is a naturally occurring humectant in the skin, that is partly responsible for the skin's moisture binding capacity. 

At night, I also use the Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado, and for the rest of my body, I like to use the Kiehl's Creme de Corps. 

For lip protection, I like to use a regular ol' Chapstick when I am in the house as a good moisturizer (that doesn't have spf so that my lips can breathe) and then when I head out the door, I use Dior Addict Lip Glow that has spf 10 and the color will depend on how it reacts with the chemistry of your lips. For me, it is a light shade of red with a nice gloss to it. I am not a big fan of fish scales or lipstick, so for some color and shine, Dior is my choice. Thank you for reading!
