‘Tis the season to show up to class looking like a discheveled Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer with lips chapped beyond belief. Beautiful image, I know. Given the combination of our lack of Vitamin D, brutal wind, and waves of laziness due to the cold, looking and feeling our best throughout the winter becomes a difficult task. Have no fear! With the addition of these essential beauty products in your life, your winter beauty slump can easily be reversed.
1. Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer: It’s no secret that everyone looks better with a little color. In need of a little tint to your skin while dreaming of lounging in the sun by an infinity pool? Skip the tanning bed and instead, purchase Jergens. It gradually builds color for a natural, healthy-looking glow that isn’t streaky and won’t leave you looking like an Oompa Loompa. If you need a quick tan for an event, try buying a pack of Tan Towels.

2. Aquaphor Healing Ointment: I wish I could change Mariah Carey’s lyrics to “All I need for Hanukkah…. is Aquaphoooooor.” Aquaphor is an absolute life-saver. The packaging even says how it is clinicially proven to protect against all kinds of issues caused by “wind burn, cold or dry air.” Keep a jar of this next to your bed and buy a mini one for your backpack to apply to chapped lips, chafing skin, dry cuticles, or truly any beauty ailment.

3. Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso: I swear this blush is the drugstore version of Nars Orgasm. It looks beautiful on anyone who wears it and gives a vivacious hue to the wearer’s cheeks. In the winter, we often get lazy and don’t feel like putting on makeup. Because we are all our palest, this often leaves us looking very “blah.” A swipe of Milani on each cheek reverses that effect and gives you a glow that will remind you of warmer summer days.

4. It’s A 10 Miracle Leave-in Product: This miracle hair product stays true to its name and lists 10 ways that it beautifies hair on the back of the bottle. I’ve been using this spray for a year now and shockingly, I find them all to be true. Winter’s dry air leaves hair looking dull and often brittle. Get your shiny, luscious locks back by spritzing your hair with this spray after you get out of the shower.

5. Maybelline Baby Lips lip balm: This hybrid of lip balm, lipstick, and lip gloss is a godsend.

Even better, it does so without being sticky and the smell is intoxicatingly delicious.
