As much as I hate to admit it, I'm not one to keep a very good skincare regime. And it took nearly a month past the onset of winter for me to realize that my skin was not in the best condition... Usually I can get away with it during the summer when the air is humid and the sun is bright, but now these cold winds are seriously drying out my face, hands, and legs. Nobody wants dull winter skin, so naturally I decided to do something about it.
-1, 2, 3, GLOW!-
Skin gets dry when it lacks moisture. It's a no-brainer to assume that a good moisturizer is key when you're looking for healthy skin! In addition to a healthy diet with lots of water, it's important to be using a moisturizer that works with your skin type and one that locks in what it adds. You wouldn't want a strong breeze blowing away all that hard work...
One of my favorite stops for a good lotion is The Body Shop. They have so many different scents, and I can guarantee that all of them are extremely moisturizing. I like a more neutral scent for everyday use, so I stick to their bestselling olive body butter, and when I need that extra kick of moisture, I go for their Chocomania scent, which is one of their most hydrating. I got a peach lotion as well, and I was afraid it would be too strong to wear everyday, but it leaves such a light, sweet scent.
I've finally gotten around to trying the Burberry makeup that I talked about in this post, and I'm glad to say that it's been a huge help to my everyday routine. The Fresh Glow Primer is hydrating and gives a dewy glow that works on any skin tone. Pair that with a natural-looking eyeshadow that adds a hint of sparkle to my lids, and I'm almost good to go!
After all the eye and face makeup, I add my finishing touch: Benefit's Watt's Up Highlighter. I've been planning to get my hands on this ever since I set my eyes on it at Sephora, and thanks to my older sister, I finally got to try it out! I dab it on my cheekbones and down the center of my nose just so the light could illuminate the high points on my face. I'm ready for that glow all season long *smirk emoji*.
-... AND WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MAKEUP-
As for my face, I reach for my Neutrogena lotion that I can just pick up from Target, and I go for Clinique's Overnight Turnaround lotion after an evening shower. But when I put on my makeup for the day, I want to add an extra little kick and illusion of glow.I've finally gotten around to trying the Burberry makeup that I talked about in this post, and I'm glad to say that it's been a huge help to my everyday routine.
