Fall is here and winter is just around the corner. The cold weather has me not only reaching for all my sweaters, but also any products to keep my skin from cracking. As someone with dry skin, I’m always looking for products that keep me moisturized and can give me an extra boost to prevent any dryness! Especially during the cold weather season, it’s important for me to have products that I know will lock all that moisture in and (if I’m lucky) also add a glow to my skin. I’m always trying new beauty products, but these are a few of the ones I continuously buy and love!

LANIEGE Lip Sleeping Mask Intense Hydration with Vitamin C, $24

This lip sleeping mask is my holy grail. My lips easily get chapped and crack, especially when it’s cold out. I’ve been using this for years and it does the trick every time for moisturized lips! Also, they offer a ton of different flavors. If you’re feeling festive, there’s a peppermint one and a pumpkin spice flavor. 

Palmer’s Coconut Oil Formula Body Lotion with Green Coffee Extract, $8

I always apply lotion to make sure I’m keeping my skin as moisturized and happy as possible. According to the product description, it contains “coconut oil and green coffee extract to soften, hydrate and pamper for radiant, healthy-looking skin and 48 hour moisture.” Also, I personally love coconut and don’t mind smelling like it while also staying hydrated. 

Palmer’s Coconut Oil Formula Body Oil, Body Moisturizer with Green Coffee Extract, $4

I love pairing this body oil with their lotion (mentioned above). It gives me an extra boost in hydration and makes sure it’s all being locked in. Also, it’s such an affordable product to add to your routine and leaves my skin glowing and radiant!

Not Your Mother’s Matcha Green Tea & Wild Apple Blossom Nutrient Rich Butter Masque, $9

Another affordable beauty product! Like my skin, my hair and scalp also tend to get dry and need a little extra moisture during the cold weather. I like to use this product weekly or bi-weekly to deeply condition my hair! I have a wavy hair texture and finer hair and it works great for me. The product description states it’s for all hair types, but especially for wavy or curly hair!

TONYMOLY I Am Sheet Mask, $4

I am always using these sheet masks. They’re my go-to for a self care night and when I want to add an extra step to my skincare routine. They offer several types of masks depending on what you’re looking for. For moisturizing, my favorite are the aloe and honey one! They also offer a few if you want brighter looking and luminous skin!

Overall, those have been my current favorites while I’m battling the cold weather. Try these out if you’re looking for a new addition to your routine or really need some extra help staying hydrated and moisturized! Stay warm and happy shopping <3
