Happy Sunday friends. It’s finally cold and rainy in the PNW and I am loving it. The holidays are around the corner and I’m excited. Are any of you dealing with dry skin since the weather changed recently? I know I am and I’m here to share some skincare hacks you can incorporate into your skincare regimen.
Manuka honey and fresh aloe vera face mask. This is one of my go to’s throughout the year, but especially during Fall and Winter. My skin gets extremely dry and irritated. Manuka honey and aloe vera are a powerful combination that soothes inflamed, dry, and irritated skin. Both of these natural products are anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and hydrating. You can also use Manuka honey as a face cleanser and apply aloe vera over night. It’s chef kiss kiss. I always keep these two products stocked up in my home.
Exfoliate. Now, be careful with this method, but it is important you try and exfoliate your face at least once a week. If once a week is too much, I suggest try exfoliating twice a month to get rid of the dead dry skin building up on your skin. I use the Angie Watts FACE Oshun’s Skin Food exfoliate ($30) and it is my favorite. It’s hydrating and literally feels like a layer of dead skin is falling off of my face. I be glowing after. I following up with fresh aloe vera to soothe the skin, then apply my Biossance Omega Repair Cream ($60) after the aloe dries down.
Only wash your face once a day, preferably at night time. Once I stopped washing my face in the morning, my skin stopped breaking. If I feel the need to wash my face in the morning, I will use manuka honey or micellar water. I love micellar water because it gets the excess grime off of your face your normal cleanser may not get.
Add occlusives to your regimen. I love adding cold pressed facial oils to my regimen. My top four facial oils I rotate through are: marula oil, sweet almond oil, vitamin e oil, and grapeseed oil. Currently, I am using CLIGANIC vitamin e oil and I mix it in with my Biossance omega repair cream. This combination is ELITE. Petroleum products are considered occlusives as well. You can add a thin layer of Aquaphor or Vaseline on top of your skin after you complete your skincare regimen.
