Winter skin savers: our favorite moisterizers and winter must-haves
The temperature is dropping and if you are anything like me than you have already noticed the effects this has on your skin. Tis the season for frigid temperatures outside and stifling temperatures inside. This dramatic change in temperature can have dramatic effects on your skin and its ability to retain moisture. It doesn’t help that the cozy air inside is super dry either. To help you prepare, I present you with a list of Maniac’s favorite winter skin savers.
1. Sonia Kashuk, Detox Purifying Black Mask
Just because it’s winter doesn’t mean you shouldn’t use a good facemask. Yes, they are usually super drying and that is the number one thing you are trying to avoid this winter, but this Sonia Kashuk mask is gentle enough to use on even the coldest days. Filled with essential oils, botanical extracts, and black clay this Detox mask will leave you skin moisturized while also reducing pores and fine lines.

2. Smart Spa, Pomagranate Lime Luxury Lotion
This all-over body lotion is perfect to use in the winter. Not only is it full of essential oils, vitamins and nutrients to keep your skin moisturized, but also full of good-smelling, feel good scents that will wake up your senses. This lotion is non-allergenic and never tested on animals, all the more reason to love it!

3. Melvita Milky Cleansing Oil
You’ve probably heard about the new trend of using face oil, but if you are anything like me you might be a little skeptical. Why would you want to add more oil to your already oily face? But I am telling you this Milk;y Cleansing Oil by French brand Melvita is worth the hype. Once it comes in contact with water the oil turns into a milky lotion that is full of gentle 100% organic plant extracts. To help keep skin moisturized this oil contains Damask Rose Essence and Rosehip oil from Chile. As an added bonus this cleansing oil also doubles as make-up remover.

4. Supergoop Forever Young Hand Cream
One of the biggest winter woes is dry, cracked hands. We’ve all been there and we can all agree, it is the worst. Be prepared this winter with Supergoop’s Forever Young hand Cream. This hand cream is full of good-for-you stuff, including SPF 40! It is never heavy or greasy thanks to Meadowfoam and Argan Oil, which both help keep your hands from cracking.

5. Hammam Warming Ginger and Fresh Eucalyptus Hot Scrub
Not only does winter wreck havoc on your skin, but also is tough on your mood. Many people get the “winter blues” and it makes the whole season even more miserable than usual. Take care of your skin and yourself with this Hammam Warming Ginger and Fresh Eucalyptus Hot Scrub. It not only has an immediate purifying and nourishing effect on your skin, but it also helps boost your mood and reduces fatigue. The sea salt will help shed dry, dead skin to expose fresh new skin that will be moisturized by the natural Eucalyptus oil.

Winter is inevitable, dry, painful skin is not.
