Winter is such a wonderful season…but not when the cool temps and wind dries up your beautiful skin. I’m always on the quest for the most rejuvenating products for day, night and everything in between. The best trick to avoid dry skin is to nurture it before it ever gets out of control. I’m totally in love with face oils, hearty moisturizersand vitamin packed serums. Don’t get me wrong…I hate to feel greasy. All of these products are well absorbed by most skin types.
I wear these products with my moisturizing sunscreen. Living in the mountains and skiing every day means that I have to be extra careful with covering up when I can with hats, gators, etc. And with diligent use of these products I can avoid sunburn, wind burn and chapped lips.
Included in this list are cleansing oils, balms, lotions and serums that will help get you on the right path and keep you there! These all have high quality and natural ingredients (they smell really great too with the help of essential oils.)l CBD (derived from Cannabis) is making a big splash in the cosmetics world. It won’t make you high, but it will offer all kinds of benefits. CBD products have been proven to to reduce inflammation. CBD is also super conditioning as it’s a rich source of fatty acids. More on CBD products to come, but there are a few in this list to get you started.
