That’s exactly how my face felt waiting for the bus Monday night.   Like it was frozen to a metal pole.  We Minnesotans are typically hardy when it comes to our winter weather, but sometimes we’re just not ready for those near 30 below zero wind chills, especially so early in the season.    It’s imperative that I make sure my skin is super moisturized so it doesn’t get quite so damaged by mother nature.  

Giorgio Armani Crema Nera Restoring Serum has been working magic on my face lately.   This serum feels more like a lightweight lotion going on, but it packs a wonderful moisturizing punch keeping dryness and wrinkles at bay.  It says its for severe dryness that can occur in mature skin, which is true.  I say it’s perfect for severe weather too.

Bobbi Brown’s EXTRA Face Oil is not only moisturizing, but healing to the skin.   Do not be afraid of applying oil on your face – I wouldn’t recommend using baby oil like my mother used on her face when her skin was dry, but this face oil offers ingredients that are wonderful for your skin.   I mostly apply this at night, but if you are super-dry, during the day works well too because it absorbs quickly.  I’ve found it to be remarkably healing – dab some on a zit or skin irritation and it’s gone by morning.  My super-sensitive skin has never been irritated by this Face Oil.  Ever.

Bobbi Brown Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 25 is really multi-purpose.   Use it as your daily moisturizer and you don’t need to apply a foundation – it’s built right in and the scent is incredible!   If you think you don’t need an SPF in winter,  you are seriously wrong.   The sun’s rays shining off the snow can be worse on your skin than in the summer.  Your skin will instantly glow!

Don’t forget the rest of your body either.   Dry itchy skin will disappear with these Quench Bath and Body products.  All natural, no chemicals and no preservatives and all Quench recipes are from beauty secrets from women around the globe.  The skin care is made out of natural things like Rose Water, Olive Oil, Almond Oil, Eucalyptus Oil, Lemon Myrtle and more.  I especially like the Shea Butter Oil.   It has little grainy beads mixed with the oil and all that is needed is a small amount to rub in and easily soak into your skin, making it incredibly soft all day long.

Now I’m ready to face the frozen outdoor elements!
