Winter skin must-haves from SkinCeuticals, Bleu Lavande and CeraVe!

Feel like your skin has totally changed on you lately? It's not your imagination - the cold and dry winter weather accelerates water loss from the outermost layers of skin, causing it to become dry and flaky which can also lead to redness and irritation. So if you haven't switched up your daily seasonal skin routine from fall yet - now's the time and here are a few great choices to ensure a hydrated and healthy glow all winter long:

SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 - 48ml - $155 - helps restore the skin's external barrier and reinforce its natural self-regeneration while intensely nourishing mature skin to reduce visible signs of premature aging with a formula containing 2% pure ceramides 1 & 3 - synergistically proven to increase hydration and barrier function; 4% natural cholesterol - proven to accelerate barrier recovery in aging skin to improve the appearance of elasticity; and 2% fatty acids - aids in structural integrity of lipids to optimize skin’s overall lipid balance.

 

It has a very unique texture and a little goes a long way - take a bit from the jar and roll it between your fingers to warm it up before applying to the skin - it will soak in like magic!
