With the cold winter weather, skin changes and often needs a boost of moisture. That’s why I want to share my perfect winter skincare routine. My skin is on the normal to dry side and I love to have a dewy finish all year long. However, it’s not that easy now that I’m 24 weeks pregnant. At times, my skin and hair do feel a bit drier than normal so certain changes need to happen. Here’s what I’m doing to combat my dryness:
Winter Skincare Routine
Makeup Removal
The magic happens at night when I typically apply the most products. If I wear makeup during the day, my first step is to remove it so I’ve been applying the Yes To Coconut Ultra Hydrating Melting Cleanser to dry skin. Let me tell you that this takes EVERYTHING off even waterproof eye makeup and lipstick. After applying, I use a wet washcloth to wipe away all of the debris.
Cleansing
If I’m not wearing makeup or for a deeper cleanse, I continue with Juice Beauty’s Stem Cellular 2-in-1 Cleanser and then rinse well. The stem cellular collection is listed on their website as a product that is great for a healthy pregnancy. Not to mention it contains a blend of vitamin C and fruit stem cells that are infused into an organic resveratrol grapeseed base. It’s perfect for my anti-aging regimen which is why the majority of my routine includes this line.
Tone & Moisturize
Next, I spritz the Juice Beauty Hydrating Mist to tone and refresh and then smooth the Stem Cellular Anti-Wrinkle Booster Serum onto my face and neck. As a neck treatment, I apply the Stem Cellular Lifting Neck Cream in upward strokes to help minimize the appearance of fine lines. Lastly from this line, I apply a pea-sized amount of the Stem Cellular Anti-Wrinkle Eye Treatment around the orbital bone of my eyes.
Recently, I discovered Shea Moisture’s amazing skin care line purchased their Raw Shea Butter Anti-Aging Moisturizer. It exceeded my expectations by providing deep hydration at an affordable price. My favorite combo is a cocktail of that cream with 2 drops of Gio Naturals Rosehip Oil. After smoothing it on, the result is clean, hydrated skin that glows into the daytime.
Clean, Hydrated & Glowing Skin
