It’s dry skin season. If you’re tired of feeling your skin peel and crack, these products are for you! These are just a few of my favorite products that have worked wonders on my dry skin and hopefully do the same for you.

 

1. Shea Moisture Overnight Hydrating Oil ($9.99)

Shea Moisture is the LOML recently. They are cruelty-free, organic and created with fair trade and natural ingredients. Use this product once or twice a day depending on how dry your skin is and you will see results FAST! They also have an entire collection of products for restoring skin, sold at Target and Ulta Beauty.

 

 

 

 

2. Milky Jelly Cleanser ($18)

The queens of skin care, you can’t go wrong with Glossier. If you’re struggling with a skin problem, chances are Glossier has a product to fix it. This cleanser tackles impurities while using a blend of five skin conditioners to heal dryness. The product is even safe to use on your eyes.

3. Pixi Beauty Glow Tonic (100ml: $15)

This Pixi “skintreats” toner removes dead skin cells, which is supposed to reveal healthy, glowing skin. I will say that this product is definitely one of my favorites this year and is part of my daily skincare routine. I have noticed my skin looking healthier and clearer than ever before and I think this product is the reason for that. It was even mentioned in the 2017 Teen Vogue Acne Awards. Paired with your favorite moisturizer, this product will really help you clear your skin and bring out a healthy glow.

 

 

 

 

4. Aquaphor healing ointment ($4.82 for two .35 oz. tubes)

This product is my secret weapon. I carry it with me everywhere I go and primarily use it as a lip balm because I struggle from insanely dry lips. My lips look healthy and revived after just one day of using this product. It was created for dry, cracked or irritated skin, so put a little dab of product on any dry spot you have and I guarantee it will help. I also use it on my nose during the winter because that is what struggles the most. In the summer, I use it on sunburns. The product can also be used on scrapes, burns and minor cuts. It’s a miracle worker!
