Winter season can be very cold and harsh to ones skin. As a result, I always keep a few essentials in my work/traveling bag to prevent me from suffering from the “winter effect” – that is chapped lips and very dry hands! Winter make’s a persons skin extremely dry so make sure you are using a moisturizing lotion for your face and a body lotion that keeps your skin moisturized through out the day. For my hands, I love to keep Nivea body cream handy as it keeps my hands nice and smooth (not dry) for hours with out being greasy. For my lips I use Nivea Lip balm and rotate it occasionally with Burt’s Bee lip balm. These two always keep my lips moist and soft and I usually put it as a base and then put my lipstick over it. Works like a charm and doesn’t dry out my lipstick! I also use lip balm right before I go to bed. A good pair of gloves will protect your hands and fingers. If you are going with leather gloves, choose one which has a nice lining like a mild fleece lining inside as leather its self will not keep your fingers warm! I always moisturize my hands right before I put on my gloves so that the heat the gloves creates along with the hand cream will create a softening effect making my hands extra soft! xoxo…ME
