Grab your hat, put on your coat, and don’t forget to BRRRRRR-ing those gloves – because it looks like the polar vortex is here to stay.

Start in the shower with St. Ives Oatmeal & Shea Butter Moisturizing Body Wash ($2.99). This paraben-free formula contains natural ingredients, like shea butter and oatmeal, to moisturize skin.

Next apply St. Ives Naturally Soothing Oatmeal & Shea Butter Fresh Hydration Lotion ($5.99-$7.99) to damp skin right out of the shower to sooth dry skin and replace moisture to even the thirstiest wintertime skin.

My thoughts
St Ives is one of my favorite skincare products any time of year, but I can definitely see how it could it handy for during the chilly winter months.  I got to try out the Fresh Hydration Lotion which is definitely a unique product. It comes in a spray bottle that provides quick application and even coverage all over your body, much like the spray on sunblocks we use in the summer months. Only this smells much better and soaks right into your skin, without any heavy residues.  It rubs in instantly and gives your skin a little boost of hydration. Most importantly, its made from natural ingredients like oatmeal and shea butter.

In addition to the Fresh Hydration Lotion, I also tried the Naturally Soothing Lotion and this is a great choice for the winter and fall season.  It's a more traditional type of lotion that comes in a pump bottle. As soon as we start running the heat, my skin gets dried out. This lotion restores health to dry and cracked skin, leaving it soft and healthy. The formula glides on smooth with no greasy residue and it smells wonderful, fresh and light without being overpowering. This lotion will definitely get your through the winter and its an affordable option.
