Weather-Proof Skin this Winter with St. Ives

 ***Complimentary product received in exchange for an honest review***

Hat, gloves, scarf – CHECK! As much as your readers try to put their skin into hibernation from the unbearable cold, it’s nearly impossible to keep it perfectly covered at all times. That’s why it’s time to weather-proof skin this winter. 

Here are three essentials to help keep skin smooth throughout the winter months:

·         Revitalizing scents – Waking up and getting out the door in the morning is hard when it’s cold and dreary. The energizing pear scent of the St. Ives Revitalizing Pear & Soy Body Wash ($3.97, 24 oz.) will gently get your day started.

·         Add moisture from the inside out – Hydration is key even during the colder months. Dehydration can literally read all over your readers’ faces. Encourage them to drink fluids like a soothing tea to help relax and keep skin looking good all season long.

·         Soothing moisturizers – Applying a rich lotion like the St. Ives Intensive Healing Body Lotion ($4.99, 21 oz.) will help keep dry and flaky patches at bay, by locking in moisture for 24 hours.

My Thoughts

As soon as we turn on our heat, my skin pays the price. My skin gets so dry it will actually get flaky and my hands get so chapped it can be painful. The St. Ives Intensive Healing Lotion restores health to dry and cracked skin, leaving it soft and healthy. The formula glides on smooth with no greasy residue and it has only a very light scent. With regular use, it leaves my skin soft and even prevents chapping when I go out in the cold. The huge bottle is enough to last all winter long. Best of all, its effects last all day without the need to reapply again and again.  This lotion will definitely get you through the even the harshest winter and its an affordable option.

I also received the Revitalizing Pear Body Wash to try out and I loved that as well. The scent is light and invigorating, but not overpowering. The vitamin packed formula made with real soy leaves your skin feeling  clean and refreshed, and also rose petal soft. Using this body wash is great way to give your skin a little extra moisture as soon as you start off the day. Used in combination with the lotion, you are guaranteed to have soft and touchable skin all winter long.
