Winter can be really hard on our skin with freezing temperatures, no humidity in the air and dryness from having the heat on inside. I know I am not alone when I say my skin is uncomfortably dry in the winter months. My followers online are constantly asking me what my favourite hydration products are for cold weather. I am so excited to share my hydrated skin must haves with you ! Say bye to dry uncomfortable skin and hi to hydrated and nourished skin.
Hydration Hero #1
Drunk Elephant Therabu™ Buttered Reparative Hand Cream
This is the best hand cream I have used in years. The ingredients are extremely hydrating and soothing for dry chapped and sensitive skin. It’s formulated with Drunk Elephants iconic Marula butter and Shea Butter.
This hand cream has saved my parched hands this year. And the best part is, is that it’s not greasy at all. I keep one in my purse, car and nightstand to make sure my hands are always nourished.
Hydration Hero #2
Neostrata Pure Hyaluronic Acid sheet mask.
I am this sheet masks number one fan. I talk about it at every opportunity and for good reason. It is amazing! If you want to give your skin an instant boost of hydration this mask is for you. In my opinion everyone should use this mask at least once a month.
It’s the ultimate treat for your skin 🙂 And taking 10 minutes to do something nice for yourself is a bonus.
Hydration Hero #3
Covergirl Simply Ageless Skin Perfector Essence
When it comes to hydrating foundation, I recommend the COVERGIRL Simply Ageless Skin Perfecting Essence. It delivers the most beautiful sheer to medium coverage making it ideal for everyday wear. It’s super hydrating and gives the skin the most beautiful fresh glow from within look.
The added skincare benefits make it perfect for more mature skin which may feel extra dry this time of year.
I literally can not believe that this incredible foundation is available for $21.99. It is so luxurious and rivals all of the high end foundation products out there.
The formula is super innovative too. Micro droplets of pigment are suspended in serum which has amazing skincare benefits :
- Skincare makeup hybrid formulated with 0.5% bakuchiol, a plant-based retinol alternative
- Skin-plumping formula reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Formulated with tranexamic acid, the potent tone-improving facial essence
Hydration Hero #4
EOS Body Lotion
Hydration Hero’ s 5 & 6
Paula’s Choice Pro Collagen Peptide Gloss Balm
These hydration must haves both come from Paula’s choice a brand that I only started exploring end of last year and have fallen deeply in love with.
My lips are chronically dry and the Paula’s Choice Pro Collagen Peptide Gloss Balm has been a complete lifesaver this winter. I am going to go as far as to say it’s the best nourishing lip treatment I have ever used and I have tried them all.
It’s a lip treatment packed with 3X Pro-Collagen Peptides to visibly plump, smooth lines, and intensely hydrate lips both immediately and over time.
-
Key ingredients include:
-
Tridecapeptide-1: Visibly reduces lines and plumps, making lips appear softer and fuller
-
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1: Helps support healthy, natural collagen levels and boosts visible volume
-
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38: Locks in lasting hydration, relieves dryness, and helps prevent the look of thinning lips.
-
I can’t get enough of this lip treatment. if you have dry lips, run don’t walk!
And lastly the newest product to the Paula’s Choice lineup is the
Pro-Collagen Peptide Plumping Gel-Cream Moisturizer
This is an outstanding Moisturizer that will give your skin intense hydration!
It’s a lightweight gel-cream with clinically backed results, packed with 3X Pro-Collagen Peptides for up to 24-hour hydration for plump, bouncy skin.
-
Key ingredients include:
-
Hexapeptide-5 (Water-Binding Peptide): Supports skin’s moisture balance and bounce
-
Oligopeptide-1 (Messenger Peptide): Supports healthy natural collagen levels
-
Tridecapeptide-1 (Signal Peptide): Rapidly smooths and visibly plumps fine lines
-
It also sits perfectly under makeup and will have your skin looking fresh and fabulous all day long.
I hope you enjoyed my hydrated skin must haves!
