Winter Woes

The worst part about winter is dry skin and I can never seem to have enough lotion in my purse. Unfortunately, my face used to take the biggest hit. I never could seem to find the perfect balance for skincare and so I went against the advice of my derm and found what works best for me. 

As a teenager my skin was even more sensitive than it is now. My face was either breaking out or flaking off (grotesque, I know). When I discovered Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream I hit the jackpot! This lotion is fragrance free and keeps my skin moisturized no matter how many times I've hit the pool. It can seem a bit pricey as it's $46.50 for a 4.2 fl. oz. jar, but it lasts forever! 

My aunt bought me a Clarisonic for my birthday last year and I will admit I was very hesitant at first. Why spend that much money on a brush? Then I used it. I will admit it can irritate your skin at first, but after a few deep cleanings you will see a noticeable difference! I have the PRO, but I'm sure the others work just as great! 

I'm obsessed with Kiehl's, but the Rare Earth Deep Pore Daily Cleanser is by far my favorite. I started using it before I received my clarisonic and will attest to it's magic. I don't mind spending $22.50 on a bottle that will last me about 6 months if I know it works. This is the only face wash that I've used that makes my skin feel great and limits breakouts.
