Happy Hump Day! As promised, I am bringing you my favorite skin care products I use during the fall (and winter) seasons. For the record, my skin is normal to dry during this time of year. I am clog prone but have found a couple of amazing products to get rid of my pesky clogged pores (cellnique skin action sebum gel and one that will be mentioned in this post)! My skin care routine doesn't really change in the winter but there are a few products I add to assist with making my skin look healthy and hydrated.
First, I use the Boots No7 Beautiful Skin Hydration Mask whenen I feel like my skin needs a boost of moisture. The product itself is a peachy pink and white thick and creamy consistency. I use 1-1.5 pumps to cover my face and then maybe add just a little more to extra dry areas. Very few things irritate my skin but this is a hypoallergenic mask so if you experience irritation, this mask is one to try. I normally don't use this every week but it can be used on a weekly basis for 10 minutes at a time to give your skin some extra moisture. When I rinse this off with warm water it literally melts off the skin and leaves my skin with a beautiful, hydrated and soft texture.
When my pores seem to be extra clogged I use the Origins Clear Improvement Mask. This mask is really great for any time of the year but I especially like this in the winter time. I used to use Clinique's Step #2, the toner, when my skin was not cooperating but I found that to be a bit drying. This is a charcoal mask so it does get hard and a little uncomfortable as you keep it on but the mask is not drying whatsoever. It dries to a clay like consistency and attacks what ever dirt is in your pores and helps give your skin a clearer appearance. I use this 1-2 times a week OR I use it as a spot treatment if I have any pimples or breakouts.
And of course I couldn't do a fall essentials post for my dry skin without a moisturizer. I use Clinique's Turnaround Overnight Radiance Moisturizer every night and I feel like this makes such a difference in my skin. My skin doesn't quiet glow the next morning but it looks very even, smooth and healthy. The moisturizer promotes cell turnover so I am left with fresh, new skin cells which is why I don't even feel the need to apply much foundation the next day. When applying this after washing my face at night it does feel thick in texture but ask it sinks in it gives your skin a nice smooth feeling. I always apply my moisturizer while my face or hands are still a bit damp. This helps the moisturizer sink into the skin, rather than just sitting on top of it. Before purchasing this I read many reviews with ladies of all skin types so I think this would be a great product no matter what your skin type.
What skin care products do you especially love in the fall?
