WINTER ESSENTIALS

It’s getting coooold. My skin is chapped, my hair is dry, and my lips are a wintery shade of flaky pale (hot stuff, I tell you). In the winter time, as the temperatures drop and the air changes, I need a change in my routine as well.  Creams get thicker, lip balms get more intense, and I find myself concentrating more on my skin care and less on my makeup.  Below are some of my favorite things to keep my skin dewy and hair shiny, even though the weather would rather suck the life out of me!

kiehls-creme-de-corps-soy-milk-and-honey-whipped-body-butter1040do071011Kieh’s Creme de Corps Soy Milk & Honey Whipped Body Butter – There’s a reason why this stuff is a best seller.  It’s thick, rich formula leaves your skin buttery soft and the scent is heavenly.

Kiss Mix by Eve Lom – This super moisturizing lip balm leaves a subtle sheen on your lips and is perfect on it’s own and leaves lips crack free when topped with a bold lipstick.

121124_fpx.tifLaura Mercier Créme Brûlée Honey Bath – I take more baths in the winter time and this creme smells so amazing and leaves my skin super soft.

Oribe Gold Lust Transformative Masque – This hair mask might be on the pricey side but it definitely delivers results. After leaving it on my hair for 5 minutes, I’m left with soft, shiny, bouncy hair.
s381145-main-LheroBliss High Intensity Hand Cream – Did I mention I’m a hand model as well?  No joke – I am a child-size hand model (random, I know!) and keeping my hands smooth and crack free is a must.  This cream is super moisturizing but doesn’t leave me with butter-fingers.
30ml_beautifyingfaceoilTata Harper Beautifying Face Oil – I wish I had a big enough wallet to try all her amazing 100% natural products.  This fast absorbing face oil works for any skin type – even mine, which is combination and prone to break outs.
