Dry skin for winter? Groundbreaking.
I’ll keep this one simple. If you’re feeling flaky try these products/devices to rehydrate:
Facial Steamer:– During quarantine, when I could only pretend to be at the spa, this device became my best friend. When I use this, I wash my face, spray a little hydrating mist (see below), steam, mask (such as the hydrating mask below), and then do my usual, evening skin routine before bed.
Hydration Mist: – Spray this on before steaming or whenever you want to, honestly.
Hydrating B5 mask: – A recent addition to my routine! There’s also a serum I’ve been eyeing – this Hydrating B5 Gel by SkinCeuticals
PowerGlow Peel: – I prefer chemical exfoliation rather than physical exfoliation (just say no to harsh scrubs) and these are my favorite peels to help increase cellular turnover (AKA get rid of dead skin).
The Dewy Skin Cream Plumping & Hydrating Moisturizer: – Really enjoy the consistency of this moisturizer and feel like it also color corrects, so I only use during the day.
Cleansing Body Oil:– I don’t have sensitive skin, but love that this cleansing oil is super hydrating and doesn’t have a scent, and isn’t Necessaire (because I know we’re all sick of seeing that shit).
Hydraboost Body Butter: – Favorite body lotion of all time. They call it ‘body butter,’ but the consistency is definitely more of a ‘lotion.’ Just try it. It’s great. They also have a Vitamin C version that’s on my list to try.
All of that said, you always want to consult an expert to figure out what’s right for your skin and your goals. If you’re local to Chicago, there’s nothing better (or more hydrating) than a Hydrafacial (and I always add a dermaplane) from Holly at The Fitz. I also do whatever Dr. Samantha Conrad at Conrad Peterson Dermatology tells me to and so should you.
Wishing you all dewy skin,
