Winter is upon us again (okay, it’s still Autumn, but it sure feels like winter). Skin is prone to drying and flaking, feet are cold, and more time inside means more time staring at your face in the mirror and you feel like you need an overhaul. Here are our favourite little secrets to get you through the chilly season.
For your body: Active Hydration Body Replenish
Don’t know about you, but winter makes me want exactly that – replenish. Skin feels literally depleted due to complete lack of fun in the sun. As with everything Rodan + Fields this is a complete composition designed to soothe and mosturise your body deeply. It even prevents future moisture loss from the cool air sucking at your pores. $89.00
For your face: Smoosh Skin Virgin Plum Luminous Face Oil
Winter seems to scream out for oils. You feel fully replenished when you put an oil on your face. Seems counterintuitive for those with oily or combination skin, but oil actually balances your skin out. It’s decadence. And we love Smoosh Skin (is there a better name – talk about a solid onomatopoeia) Virging Plum Luminous Face Oil to keep our skin, well, luminous.
Every Smoosh formula is brimming with a potent, and thoughtful blend of the finest natural and certified organic plant and fruit oils. Smoosh is designed to deliver visible results and glowy healthy skin for all skin types, especially the super sensitive.
This nourishing, single ingredient, satiny face oil that feeds skin essential nutrients for happy, healthy smooshable skin. Packed with antioxidants, omega fatty acids 6 and 9 and skin correcting vitamin E, it deeply hydrates.
