7 Winter Skincare Products I’m Loving Right Now
It’s a new season and I thought it would be a good time to share some of skincare products I’ve been using and loving. Since it’s the winter and super dry from lack of humidity and indoor heating, my skin’s needs have definitely changed so what I’m using now is different from what I was using during the warmer months. I’m also always trying new products and when I find something that works for me, I also like to share it in case it works for someone else.
7 Winter Skincare Products I’m Loving Right Now
Kari Gran Lip Whip - Kari Gran is clean beauty brand dedicated to creating products that promote healthy skin for women with aging skin. Lip Whip is a moisturizing lip balm with color that is buildable. I like it because it gives me a very natural, sheer wash of color while also acting as a moisturizing balm. It comes in multiple shades, including clear. My favorite color is Jolene! Kari Gran Lip Whip $25
100% Pure Blood Orange Cleansing Balm - I love using a cleansing balm especially in the winter because it cleanses the skin without soap. 100% Pure’s cleansing balm uses blood orange and a blend of oils to gently remove makeup and other impurities. It’s great for winter skin but if you have dry skin, you can use it all year. I’ve used a couple of cleansing balms at much higher price points and this one works just as well and is very reasonably priced. 100% Pure Blood Orange Cleansing Balm $38
Acure Seriously Soothing 24hr Moisture Lotion - I’ve been using this lotion on and off for a few years and I keep coming back to it because it’s well priced and it works really well on my dry winter skin. It’s thick and protective without being greasy and fragrance free so it’s good for sensitive skin. Acure Seriously Soothing 24hr Moisture Lotion $9.39
Herbivore Moon Dew 1% Bakuchiol + Peptides Retinol Alternative Eye Cream - I was interested in trying this eye cream because I like the Herbivore brand and I was curious about the retinol alternative. I am really sensitive to retinols and have opted to not use them in my skincare so I wanted to see if this eye cream was able to provide similar benefits. I’ve been using it for a couple of months now and I like it a lot! It’s lightweight and layers well under my makeup. It’s hydrating and firming, but also has honey locust seed polysaccharides that instantly tighten and lift skin. Herbivore Moon Dew 1% Bakuchiol + Peptides Retinol Alternative Eye Cream $48
GOOP GLOW Cloudberry Exfoliating Jelly Cleanser - Exfoliating is a really important part of any skincare routine. It helps remove dead skin cells so that makeup goes on smoothly and products like serums and moisturizers can actually access fresh skin and do their job. I only exfoliate a couple times a week but this one is gentle enough to use everyday and a little goes a long way. I also like a combination exfoliator and cleanser because it eliminates adding an additional step to my routine. GOOP GLOW Cloudberry Exfoliating Jelly Cleanser $35
Herbivore Pink Cloud Soft Moisture Cream - Another winner from Herbivore. This cream is very light and creamy and is perfect for my skin type. I tend to have combination skin and this is not too heavy for the oily parts of my face and is just enough moisture for the drier parts of my face. I do also use one of Herbivore’s facial oils to help balance my skin and provide a layer of protection. I also like that this moisturizer is fragrance free because I’ve never really seen the point of putting fragrance on your face! Fragrance and essential oils can also be really irritating to the skin so I am happy to see companies eliminating them from their facial products. Herbivore Pink Cloud Soft Moisture Cream $44
