I suffer from extremely oily skin and during the winter I get flaky, red and dry patches on my forehead and cheeks - not very pretty. I prefer moisturizers that keep my skin hydrated without making it produce more oil and while in Paris this fall I fell in love with Embryolisse and their Lait-Crème Concentré. The French are famous for their amazing pharmacy brands and Embryolisse is no different; it has saved my skin from the colder weather since October. The Lait-Crème Concentré is for all skin types (which I normally wouldn't buy because usually those kinds of products break me out) but this light-textured moisturizer has really helped me and my seasonal dehydrated skin. Definitely worth buying.
Although Embryolisse has helped me a lot my skin still acts up occasionally. After longs days of school, work or harsh weather I like to calm my skin down with a hydrating mask and Origins Drink Up Intensive really does the job. It's one of those overnight products where you apply the mask before going to bed and sleep with it on. It's amazing. I usually use this as the final step in a pamper evening and my skin feels relaxed and hydrated when I wake up.
The Eight Hour Cream by Elizabeth Arden is a classic. It's the best multi-use product I've ever had; chapped lips, dry elbows, knuckles and heels, nail treatment, highlighter on cheekbones etc.. The tube lasts a long time since a little goes a long way with this product - overusing as a highlighter for example can get a little messy. However the scent's very strong and you either love or hate it. I chose to live with it because I haven't found anything that could compare to Eight Hour and it's endless possibilities.
For my hands I prefer hand balms over creams and lotions mainly because I hate the feeling of greasy and sticky hands. I was quite surprised when I discovered the Hand Balm from & Other Stories since I've never really been a fan of H&M's beauty selection. But this hand treatment really changed my mind. It has the most mesmerizing citrus scent and leaves the hands feeling hydrated and smooth without the greasy feel. In general I think their beauty products are worth checking out. Plus the packaging is clean and stylish, giving the products a more exclusive look.
Having thick, bushy and curly hair is terrible during the winter time. Mine gets super dry and really frizzy (which it is all year round but especially in the winter) due to the rain and wind and I've been searching for a product to make it calm down. Moroccan Oil is the bomb. It's a leave-in oil to use after showering that leaves your hair looking healthy and shiny. It's a personal favorite. I originally bought the regular one but found it a little heavy at the time so I switched to the light version for not-as-thick-hair and it's the same beautiful curls I get from it. I use it everyday topping with another curling spray, just to separate the curls more, but on good days I'll just use the Moroccan Oil alone. It's a wonder for curly hair!
I hope you enjoyed this post!
