Winter Skincare Routine

I am not one to typically break out, but I’ve
been experiencing waves of breakouts this winter, even though nothing in my
routine has changed. I explained my concerns to the concierge,
and I let her know I have dry skin and
wanted to find products with the most natural ingredients possible (that were
also fragrance free).

She immediately led me over to the Burt’s Bees line, and while I have a couple
of items from the line, I had never used their moisturizer.  She said great things about the Intense
Hydration line, and, after checking out the ingredients, I knew I needed to give a it a shot. I went with the night cream because I wear a liquid foundation.  I also picked up the Intensive Firming Serum
that is supposed to help prevent fine lines and wrinkles.

We also looked at the Simple skin-care
line since it’s basically a dream line for people with
sensitive skin.  Their products
are made up of no harsh chemicals and no fragrances.  I chose the moisturizing face wash and the micellar cleansing water.  I’d heard good things about the micellar cleansing
water in regards to getting those stubborn last spots of makeup off.  Even when I wash my face, I will sometimes
find a thin layer of makeup hiding, so this is perfect for that. 

Finally, she recommended a product that wasn’t in the skin-care aisle and was something I wouldn’t have
thought of—witch hazel.  She said as she’s aged she’s used witch hazel
every day, and it helps her pores look smaller
and helps her skin stay tight.  I am all
for anything that makes your pores look smaller,
so I snatched that up as well.
