If you're ANYTHING like me, you hate the winter just for the havoc it does on your skin alone.
I've been dealing with this for as long as I can remember.
Dry patches at the corner of my nose and mouth, constant redness on my cheeks and forehead.
My hands and feet are like sand paper and I don't even want to tell you about my elbows.
Sometimes it physically hurts to SMILE.
Like, excuse me winter, you can't just come around and screw me like that!
This year I've been having a bit of luck with some new products I tried.
And when I say a bit, I mean thank you sweet Anthropologie for putting these products in front of my eyes.
First let me tell you about this little brand called Kocostar.
I came across these little packets because at first glance I thought they were sheet masks,
aka my new obsession. (Post on this later)
HOWEVER, these are a little different
They have them for both hands and feet and look like little socks and gloves.
They stay on for about 20 minutes and provide the most refreshing feeling ever.
After finished, I could actually rub my feet together without wanting to cringe.
++ Mario Badescu Facial Spray ++
This thing I owe my life to.
It's one of those products that I would bring with me on a deserted island
if I could only bring three things. It's just that good.
Three to five spritzes of this on your face and you are great to go.
Like I sprayed it on my boyfriends skin that's even DRYER then mine the other day.
Guess what?
Right after I was done, all his flakes on his face were gone.
Like it's magic, I swear.
And for $7????!!!!?!?!
I buy one of these for each of my purses, makeup table, and next to my bed.
++ Cocovit Coconut Oil ++
This little baby is what I use on my elbows, knees, and pretty much everywhere else.
Of course, you could buy coconut oil at the grocery store...
But look at this packaging?? It's so much more fun to put this on your vanity
instead of those ugly jars you get at Giant Eagle.
This one is pretty self explanatory and SUCH a trend right now, but rightfully so.
Slab this on your dry spots and within three days you'll be soft as a babies butt.
I promise.
++ Skin Laundry Nourishing Cleansing Oil ++
So this one I was a little nervous about and I started with a sample.
That sample led me to buy not one, but two bottles.
The world 'oil', for my skin scares me, frankly.
As you all know, I have had quite the skin struggle, but this winter I thought I'd be ball-sy.
I figured that coconut oil makes my skin loose those awful winter flakes,
so it could do some good on my skin, right?
Well, I was.
This product has given me protection from wind burn, redness, and all those dry patches I get.
I can't say that it's made my skin any better..
but I can for sure say it has not made it ANY worse.
So if it's keeping my skin from getting dry, I'll find other products to work on the acne part.
What're your favorite winter skin savers?? LMK!
