My Winter Skin Essentials

January 23, 2019

Happy Wednesday, sweet friends! It’s been a snowy wonderland in Chicago, and this week the temps are dropping to the teens. EEEEK. So, let’s talk winter skin essentials, shall we?

Most of winter skin essentials are from my favorite skin care line, Beauytcounter. If you’ve been following my Insta-Stories, you’ve seen a lot of this stuff. The masks, lotions, facial oils, moisturizers, body oils…. I could go on and on. Even better, they are committed to safer beauty and their products are free of toxins, hormone-disrupters and 1500+ other harmful ingredients listed on this NEVER LIST.  My skin has never looked so good, and it’s all because of these products.

What make your winter skin essential list? I’d love to hear…let me know in the comments! 

OK, time for caffeine…

As always, thank you for stopping by!

Beautycounter peppermint lip conditioner

Beautycounter Peppermint Lip Conditioner

This is like lotion for my lips and I LOVE it. I keep it by my bedside table and use it before I go to bed each night and when I first wake up in the morning. I’m a sucker for anything peppermint because it always feels like it’s working. (Does that make sense to anyone else?)

Beautycounter dew skin tinted moisturizer

Beautycounter Dew Skin Tinted Moisturizer

When you think of winter, “dew skin” doesn’t exactly come to mind. But, why not? Why can’t my skin be dewy all year long? Yes, please. I use this under my foundation if I’m going all out and wearing jeans (ie. getting dressed up); otherwise, I will wear it alone with a swipe of my favorite blush. 

La Mer moisturizing cream

La Mer Moisturizing Cream

Use this baby once and you’ll understand the whole cult following thing. It’s luxury in a tub and is totally worth every single cent. It’s much thicker than any other moisturizer I’ve ever used, so you don’t need a lot. Also, be sure to warm up the cream between your fingers before applying it to your face.

Beautycounter No.3 balancing facial oil

Beautycounter No. 3 Balancing Facial Oil

This facial oil is a blend of 7 natural oils and let me tell you: it does the job. A little goes a long way, yet it never feels greasy. I mix 2-3 drops in the morning with my La Mer, and use 5-6 drops at night with my Nourishing Night Cream.

Beautycounter citrus rosemary body oil

Beautycounter Citrus Rosemary Body Oil

If I could bathe in this stuff, I would. The smell is glorious and it makes my skin SO soft without feeling greasy. 

Beautycounter citrus mimosa body butter

Beautycounter Citrus Mimosa Body Butter

I can’t say enough good about this stuff. I’m getting ready to order a second tub because I can’t stop using it. It’s so moisturizing and not at all sticky. And the smell is amazing, but not overpowering.

No-crack super hand cream

No-Crack Super Hand Cream

And now, for THE most luxurious item on the list. Mamas, this ones for you. My sweet husband found this for me, since I have been complaining about my dry hands all winter. I blame dirty diapers and washing my hands 306 times a day. I had tired everything and my knuckles were still dry. This has been the only thing that has worked like a charm. (Thanks, babe.)

    Great post!! I am obsessed with La Mere’s lip balm! It’s pricey but worth every cent.

    I NEED that hand cream immediately. I also wash my hands a million times a day, and I live in WI, so my hands look and feel terrible. I haven’t found anything that works, so it’s awesome to hear about this. I also want that lip conditioner. All of these products sound fantastic!

    Where do you find the no-crack hand cream? It looks like Amazon doesn’t carry that particular version, they only have the unscented and the night use versions (and neither are free/prime shipping).

      Hmm… I found it here, too.. https://www.vermontcountrystore.com/no-crack-cream-set-of-2/product/H2516?utm_source=google&utm_medium=paid%20search&utm_campaign=pla&sourceid=7SPFGPLA&gclid=CjwKCAiA1uHSBRBUEiwAkBCtzdqcDjYhq6Dub3a8VbNkGnueur2__2R8AWpcOsamDP2X8XgyNOZu4xoCrW4QAvD_BwE

    Hey! Can the body oil be used by itself? As in is it good enough by itself? I hate winter skin and am looking for something good, and saw your post!

    Reply
    • suzanne says: January 28, 2019 at 7:26 am

      Hi, Aniseh! Yes, it def can! I use it alone all the time and it’s enough. I LOVE it. xo

Tomorrow I get to do something I’ve been wanting Tomorrow I get to do something I’ve been wanting to do for years. I will have a partial hysterectomy (leaving my ovaries). I’m 41 years old and it’s high time.  
 
I’ve lived with chronic uterine pain from fibroids for almost 20 years. It’s affected every part of my life, almost every single day. I’ve learned to deal with the pain and mitigate where I can. But still… 
 
We need to talk about fibroid pain. 
We need to talk about period pain.  
We need to talk about uterine pain. 
  
Most of all we need to listen to women when we say we’re in pain.  
 
Cramps HURT like hell. And while we’re strong enough to deal with the pain, maybe we’re just too damn tired to continue trying.  
 
And did you know? It’s called a “hysterectomy” because it was believed that women’s uteruses were making them hysterical.  
 
Let that sink in.  
 
I’m not hysterical.  
We’re not hysterical.  
We’re fucking warriors who have fought battles with our bodies.  
 
It’s time.
