There are many things I don’t like or appreciate about winter (have you noticed?) and one of them is certainly how it makes my skin feel.
I know I’m not alone. A frosty windchill can actually hurt – and you’re left with the telltale rosy red cheeks to show for it. If it’s not bitterly cold and windy, the lack of humidity and moisture in the air makes skin very dry through the winter months. Once the snow starts to melt it seems that everyone is all about moisturizing and getting their legs ready for spring capris and dresses. I think we should take care of our skin year round, who wants itchy dry skin at anytime of the year?
Thankfully, we have a multitude of products out there to help – the trick of course is actually using them. In the cold months, when we’re wearing sweaters and jeans every day, grabbing lotion to moisturize and take care of our skin isn’t top of mind. But do it now, and your smooth silky skin on your legs later will thank you!
Aveeno and Nutrogena are here to help! One of our readers is going to win this gift basket packed full of products to help combat winter skin, including some goodies like:
NEUTROGENA® Body Oil! This would be a great option for massaging in after a shower or bath while your skin is still damp. Smoothing on a few drops to help seal in moisture, and keep your skin feeling fresh and radiant for your evening out with a loved one or friends. Available at drugstores and mass-market retailers; $9.99 CAD / 250 mL
AVEENO® Stress Relief Moisturizing Lotion. Smooth this in after a long bath to help calm and relax you with scents of lavender, essential chamomile and ylang-ylang oils. Available at drugstores and mass-market retailers; $15.99 CAD / 532mL
and more!
