Winter has stolen every drop of moisture from my skin, and I've been trying every trick in the book to combat the dreaded dry skin.
I've resorted to a three step pre-bedtime routine that seems to be doing the trick for now, but does anyone else's skin seem to become to immune to products after a while? I have to keep a rotation going to prevent my skin becoming resistant! This is what the current rotation looks like anyways.
Lips are being handled by the Kiehls Lip Balm #1 in Pear, a thick and oily lip balm that stops my lips from feeling like they've been attacked with a cheese grater. This stuff sinks in pretty quickly and provides almost immediate relief from sore, chapped skin. And it smells delicious.
I've been using the Nuxe Masque Créme Fraiche as an ersatz evening moisturiser, massaging it into my skin and letting it absorb overnight instead of washing it off. Once I got past the herby smell, I really like this, and I wake up in the morning with soft, hydrated skin that doesn't feel oily or greasy.
And lastly, I've been treating my limbs to the luxurious Laura Mercier Body Souffle in Ambre Vanilla. I never really understood why people spent so much money on this until I tried it myself, but my word this stuff is amazing. It's thick and luxurious, but the whipped texture means it absorbs really quickly into the skin. It smells bloody amazing too, like sexy biscuits, if there even is such a thing.
