Winter Beauty 101

I have never lived in the kind of weather we have here in Colorado.  At the Little Blue Cottage we lived near the ocean where the air is moist.  Here in Colorado the air is dry.  Add on top of that cold air and heaters you will see the dire need for moisture.  Even in the summer months it is necessary to make sure my skin is moisturized.  Below are pictures of products I am using this winter.

 I like to buy my beauty products on sale or at discount stores if possible.  Sometimes I buy items at full price because I just have to have them.  Like this Sleepy Time lotion by Jason.  It is infused with real tea.  The Pacifica brand of body butter I found on clearance at Ross Dress for Less...a steal at $2.99!  And the Method Cinnamon Bark soap was on clearance at Target (a scent I find heavenly).

Here is my facial line up.  I have combination skin.  Biore blemish fighting ice cleanser works very well.  Clean & Clear acne spot treatment also helps with stubborn blemishes. Cortizone 10 plus works well for spots of eczema that I have been experiencing with this very cold weather.  And Desert Essence Moisturizing Night Cream keeps my skin moist and soft.

Here is my hand and feet line up.  The pumice stone works very well for removing dry skin on the feet.  The emery board (from the Celestial Seasons Tea Shop) works well for not only filing nails, but removing dry skin from my finger tips as well.  Borghese cuticle oil works very well for moisturizing my nails as well as cuticles.  I picked it up for $2.99 at Ross Dress for Less.  A real bargain!  Also pictured are hand creams.  CO Bigelow Chapped Hands Remedy works well when my hands begin to crack.  And J.R. Watkins Vanilla Shea Butter works well for both feet and hands.

Now for the lips.  I don't wear lipstick, there is something in it that irritates my throat.  Even certain lip balms do the same.  However, these products are fine for me.  The lip balms by Celestial Seasons are fun and smell so good.

I love to smell good.  I really love the White Citrus scent by Bath & Body Works.  The other two perfumes are by Love & Toast which are natural scents by Margot Elena found at Whole Foods Market.

Since Valentine's will soon be here, I decided to share with you part of my jewelry collection.  I love hearts!! The bracelet on the far right I made.  Other pieces are from Mark and one piece is from a dear girlfriend.

If you have any winter beauty tips please share them in a comment.  Thanks!
