Winter is a wonderful time
of year, but it can really take a toll
on your skin. Even the oiliest of
complexions aren’t immune to the
freezing temperatures. If you’re
prone to dry, flaky and cracked skin
this time of year, it’s time to change
up your skin care and hair care
routines. The good news is, it only
takes a few products to ensure your
skin is ready to face the cold.
First, you’ll want to invest in
a good hair mask to prevent
dryness and breakage in the
harsh winter temperatures. The
more moisture your hair retains, the
better! For best results, leave a hair
mask to sit in your hair for an hour
or so (or overnight!) and then rinse
it out. Think of it as a nice, long
drink of water for your super thirsty
hair. To really give hair the love it
deserves, we picked the Restore
hair mask by Living Proof. It’s a bit
of an investment at $42 a tub, but
definitely worth it in the long term.

Complex, because it fights dryness
without irritation. It’s perfect for
anyone with sensitive skin, or skin
that gets more sensitive in the colder
months. Serum can sink deeper into
the skin than a moisturizer, to ensure
your face is truly hydrated and the
problem won’t just get worse.
Lastly, if you’re looking for a
multi-purpose (and budgetfriendly!) option, try coconut oil.
In fact, whether you’re on a budget
or not, you’re going to want to stock
up on coconut oil for the winter
months. It’s a miracle moisturizing
that can be used as a hair mask and
even an all over body moisturizer. Be
careful with the face though, because
it can cause breakouts. Slather a
thick layer all of your body before
bed, and you’ll wake up with baby
soft skin.
