How to: Keep your hydrated in winter Part 2 SKINCARE
megan | Jun 10, 2011 | Comments 1
The easy answer to this question is live like a mermaid underwater. Or keep your skin in pristine condition by bathing in buttermilk. Unfortunately do to the constraints of living an adult life neither of these options are viable. I get really terrible cracked lizard like dry skin in the winter. Ever heard of someone complain about ‘chill bleeds’? If you have it was most likely from me whinging loudly on public transport about how my hands are so dry that they are bleeding. Sexy. And I work in a bar at nights, so that means my dry bleeding hands get stung with yeast from beer and acid from limes every night. Double sexy. In addition to my life moonlighting as a bartender I write about beauty, this helps to balance out the insanity of my life and the disgusting state of my skin. I’ve trialled a few product since Autumn hit for sorting out my skin. Someone worked, a lot didn’t. Here are the products that turned my reptile like coverings into skin that Kate Middleton would borrow when we do sleepovers.
Best face moisturisers: Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream
What is it? A 24-Hour everyday hydrating formula, to keep skin lightly hydrated in harsh weather conditions.
What did it do? I’ve been using moisturisers to help combat acne for ages, and oil, during summertime my skin is so early. But now winter has come around my skin did a complete 180 and now is super dry, but I still get a bit of an oily t-zone. The ultra facial cream somehow softens dry skin but also keeps the oil on my t-zone at bay, amazing.
Why should I buy it? Because everyone needs to own Kiehls. Plus they just dropped all of their prices so it’s really accessible luxury. They have their Australian online store launching on the 15th of June. Plus if you purchase anything online in June and enter the code “lipglossblog” you’ll score a free lipgloss!
Best makeup buy: Innoxa Classic Colour lipstick range
What is it? Innoxa classic colour lipsticks are a range of easy to wear everyday shades. They are the kind of lipsticks colours that you can wear anyday and everyday. You don’t need to wait for a special occasion to pull them out.
What did it do? The lipsticks are packed full Vitamin E which means it nourishes your lips while you wear your makeup.
Why should I buy it? Because when it comes to keeping your lips hydrated its alot more fun to wear a pretty lipstick then plain old lip balm. Plus they are only $14.95 each!
Best skincare product: Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Mist
What is it? “A hydrating mist rich in the living energy of rose and marshmallow to restore, tone and hydrate.” Basically it’s the yummiest smelling spray on toner which keeps skin hydrated all day.
What did it do? I’ve owned this product for a while but I’ve only just began to see the full benefits as it’s got colder. I love spraying this on before appyling foundation as it creates a soft dewy base to work with, eliminating any chance of cakey makeup.
Why should I buy it? The fact it’s made with natural ingredients, produced in Australia, smells great, last for ages and hydrates your skin, I’m pretty sure it’s a win!
