The Winter is coming and it's has a lot to offer; cute dates, snow days, getting to use your fire place, celebrating the holidays and the new year, but along with all of these great positives, it wreaks major havoc on your gentle skin! Being a victim of the cold, harsh northeast winter, I have done my fair share of testing and research on which products seemed to work best for me and kept my skin in tact.
1. Clarins HydraQuench Cream $50
The winter always dries out my skin but this crème keeps the moisture in without over compensating with too much oil.
2. TONYMOLY Peach Hand Cream $12
This hand cream not only looks cute but also smells great and has plenty of vitamins to keep your skin smooth as possible.
3. LuLuLun Moisturizers Pink Mask $24
These face masks hydrate your skin in just 15 minutes and keep it soft and smooth and ready to take on any adventures you have for the day.
4. Mario Badescu Aloe Vera Toner $15
This toner feels amazing on your skin keeping it cool and helping your complexion even out, reducing redness.
5. Benefit Boo Boo Zap! $16
We all get those blemishes that we prefer not to have and this little bottle is pure magic. Just like it says in the name, a drop of this product just zaps your pimple away!
6. Fresh Sugar Face Polish $62
Whether it's dry lips or just wanting to keep those pores clean after the gym, this exfoliator cleans the dead skin off in minutes. (Better for less sensitive skin)
7. Biore Ultra Deep Cleansing Pore Strips $7.49
These pore strips get all of those blackheads to vanish and help your skin feel revived and new after just 8 minutes.
8. Sun Bum Sunscreen Face Stick $12
Whether your skiing or it just happens to be super sunny out, the sun's rays don't decide to become less powerful in the fall and winter! It's still important to block those rays out and save your skin with this cute banana scented sunscreen.
9. Sebum & Oil Blotting Paper $12
if you don't want to carry around extra powder to avoid your shine, or stop yourself from caking too much on, these blotting sheets help balance out your oils and keeps your makeup looking refreshed no matter how much heating there might be on in your room.
10. Dior Hydra Life BB Crème $60
This BB crème is a life saver when it comes to those dark circles from finals and midterms! We can blame professors and bosses all we want, but the only way of making them go away is with a great eye cream.
11. SANTA MARCHE Kyoto Uji Green Tea Peeling Gel $36
If your skin is a bit more sensitive, herbal mixes might be better for removing dead skin cells. This green tea peeling gel is my grandma's favorite. It cleans your skin so it's nice and revamped for the next day and is a lot less harsh on sensitive skin.
12. So Totally Clean Deep Pore Cleanser $5.99
This deep clean pore cleanser is like a nicer version of sea breeze or witch hazel. Those might be too strong, causing your skin to redden or irritate, but this is gentler and after you wipe down your face, the results are right before your eyes on that cotton ball.
13. Wipe Your Face Off Make-Up Removing Facial Wipes $5.99
After a whole day of running from place to place and working hard in class or in an office, you want to cleanly remove ALL of your makeup so you don't casually see some of last nights eyeliner on your chin. This face wipe gets your whole face clean without leaving it super oily.
14. Bioré Charcoal Pore Minimizer $8.99
This pore minimizer applies black, but don't be alarmed, it gets the job done! It cleans them all out in a gentle way and frees them from any toxins or oils that may have gotten in while you're just out there living life.
15. Water! $0
At the end of the day, we could all just use a nice shower or face wash! Cold water feels super refreshing after being in a cozy bed the whole night and warm water feels amazing after spending the day outside!
