winter skin

I generally moisturise all the time but NYC's drying weather has made me aware of what really works and what doesn't.

1. Carmex Original Moisturizing Lip Balm

- A soothing, easy to apply when you're on the go lip balm.

2. Aquaphor Healing Ointment 

- My go-to for absolutely everything. Not as thick as Vaseline and seems to protect all my dry bits and lasts from when I go to sleep to when I wake up.

3. First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream 

- A thick cream for elbows and other bits that need extra moisture that sinks in quickly and is pleasantly non-greasy.

4. Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream, Intensive Moisturizing Hand Treatment 

- Medicinal-smelling but extremely hydrating and smoothing.

5. Caudalíe Beauty Elixir 

- A recent purchase that seems to really lock in moisture and is delightfully refreshing mid-day.
