I seriously have to shout out ME.

For once, I think I have some great tips and tricks for surviving the winter cold.

Right now, I am living for moisture and anything that gives my lips hydration, but also color. This was a deep need of mine.

You may ask, why?

You may also not even care.

But, I am someone who needs a lip color because of my high contrast coloring — my lips NEED to look like they are a deeper and cooler color — or I look washed out.

No thanks.

Lip Hydration

Night prep is crucial, and I don’t always get it right.

For instance, right now, my hands look super dry.

But when I see any scaly or dry-looking skin on myself, I reach for the OG of hydration – Aquaphor.

The next thing I love is a quick lip balm that is already coated in pigment.

If you like Clinque’s Black Honey — these Maybeline Lifter Glazes are perfect.

They add pigment, offer hydration and keep you feeling like you tried a little.

I have one in Espresso Kiss 10 and Acai Glaze.

Espresso Kiss gives a lot more pigment payoff, while Acai Glaze feels lightly pigmented.

I also love the Elf lip gloss for a slight tint as well.

Hydration for Skin During the Winter

Investing in a hydrating body wash is super helpful.

I like Olay and Method best. I really love the coconut and rice milk scent from Method body.

I also love a good bar of soap pre-body wash — and an exfoliating scrub once to twice a week.

Next, I love some options for lotions. If you want thick every day lotion — Nivea is where it’s at. If you want a thick butter — EOS will not disappoint. If you want scent, hydration and a lighter lotion – EOS lotion is where it is at.

Face & Hands Hydration

Nivea Soft Cream for the face is great. I love using the original when my skin gets dry as well.

My hands love the original for dryer months.

TTFN.
