My winter essentials

Moisturisers


Vichy Aqualia Antiox Hydrating cream

You can read my review of this here . I use this as my daily moisturiser mixed with an anti redness cream.
As yup know my skin is super sensitive so you can imagine what the strong Irish cold winds do to it, team it with going from the cold weather to heated interiors, equals a very unhappy skin.

Here are the 2 anti redness products I use:

Roc Calmance Soothing Moisturiser

Witch skincare Anti-blemish Redness Relief Moisturiser
Here you'll find my review.


Lip balm

My lips, just like my skin, are super super sensitive and need extra care in winter. My current lip balm obsession that has been going on since mid august is

Carmex moisture plus Clear

I am absolutely in LOVE with this!!!! love love love!!!! Go buy it people!!! It is a tad bit pricey but it's totally worth it!
My lips are very weird in the sense that most other lip balms I've tried before aren't hydrating enough or after a few weeks they just don't have the same effect on my lips anymore. But this is still making my lips super soft after so many months of usage. I've also tried the Peach version but I found it doesn't moisturise as much as the clear version, still VERY good but not as the good as the clear one.

Warmers

my faves being
ear muffs
and

a warm hat

I will show you the ones I'm loving right now in a post very soon.

Hot beverages



Gingerbread spicy biscuits
(preferably German)

Lights and scented candles

(this isn't actually just a wintery thing but it is especially appreciated during this season)

So these are my Winter faves, what do you think and what are yours?

  1. Great post! There's nothing like creature comforts to make the winter cold and darkness easier to bare. I'm loving La Roche-Posay Cicaplast to keep sensitive skin unchapped, Nuxe Reve de Miel lipbalm and Marks and Sparks Chai Tea to warm me cockles. My lips sound like they're the same as yours, must try the Carmex Moisture Plus Clear! *adds to shopping list*
