My Routine for Dry Winter Skin

Today is COLD, everybody! I hope you are staying warm and dry this week and taking lots of time for yourself over the next few days. I know I have been dealing with lots of dryness this month, and the freezing weather certainly doesn't help. Spring cannot come fast enough!

As for my skincare routine, there are lots of products that I have been using to do whatever I can to keep my skin moisturized this season. Another note that I think is super important and really stood out to me while I was making this graphic is the fact that a lot of the products I use right now are in my routine because I want to be conscious of using what I have before I purchase new things. I can't say that all of these products are the best for the job, but I think it's important to be honest about what I use as well as encourage you to take advantage of what's already in your bathroom cabinet before dropping major $$ on new products. Plus, it's way more sustainable that way!

For my face, I use an exfoliator maybe once a week. I have been using the Neutrogena Hydroboost with SPF recently during the mornings because I had it in my cabinet waiting to be used and I liked that it has SPF. It's not my favorite but it gets the job done, and it allows me to use less of my Saturday Skin moisturizer. I have been saving that one to use at night because it has a thicker formula.

For my lips, I have been LOVING the Laneige Lip Mask at night, which makes my lips so smooth! I also use regular Burt's Bees throughout the day and sometimes will use the ELF scrub when I need extra exfoliation.

On my hands, I have been using whatever hand lotion I need to use up and the Bliss cuticle oil since my cuticles are probably the driest right now. To exfoliate my body, I use the Tree Hut scrubs on my arms, elbows, legs, and even armpits! Then I will use Bliss body butter (I have a million of these from when I did this campaign) or the classic Cerave cream on my body. Last, I think that it is soooo worth it to talk about the Baby Foot Peel and similar products -- I used one for the first time this summer and it was honestly amazing. Definitely a little gross, but amazing nonetheless. I get horrible calluses and this is the best thing that I have used for really getting rid of dry skin on your feet.

Based on the weather forecast that I can see for next week, we are supposed to get a lot more rain but the temperatures are going to be a little warmer! At this point, I am counting down the days until spring and have my fingers crossed for warmth ASAP. In the meantime, what are your favorite products for dry skin?
