Girl’s Guide for Dewy, Nourished Skin for the Winter 

From Your Friend, Ava 

The leaves are falling, the temperature is dropping, and your showers are getting hotter. It's finally winter and your skin is thirsty. 

Let’s change that. 

First off, understand your skin barrier. 

Our skin undergoes a ton of harm from chemicals and other environmental toxins. Which leaves our skin barrier damaged. 

Dry skin, redness, and other signs of irritation display that our skin needs our help. 

Find what works best for your skin and stick to it 

A simple skincare routine is the key to success 

In the shower: 

Cleanser: 

Use a cleanser that doesn’t leave your skin feeling stripped. 

CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser: Cream to Foam is a great starting cleanser It foams perfectly in your hands leaving your skin feeling clean and fresh without feeling stripped. 

CeraVe Renewing SA cleanser helps with acne-prone skin, however, make sure you moisturize extra because salicylic acid can dry out the skin 

After you warm up in your shower, cool your shower down, to refresh your skin. Outside the shower: 

Toner: 

Use a toner especially if you have acne-prone skin 

Don’t stray away from toners because you think it will leave your skin dry. 

Paula’s Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant has saved my acne-prone skin in the winter months It reduces the look of pores and smooths out any texture 

And you are left with glassy-looking skin 

Serums: 

Hydrating serums will save your skin barrier

Hyaluronic acid is the best serum to hydrate. 

The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid is best if you're on a budget 

Peptide Glazing Fluid will leave your skin looking like a Krispy Kreme Donut Rhode Beauty’s line is perfection 

This product works amazing under makeup to keep your skin looking dewy throughout the day or night 

Moisturizers: 

The key to fully restoring your skin barrier is to moisturize 

Moisturizer locks in all your other products and keeps your skin hydrated until the morning

Tatcha The Dewy Skin Cream 

Rhode Beauty Barrier Restore Cream 

Drug Store: 

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel with Hyaluronic Acid 

CeraVe Moisturizing Cream 

Lips: 

Don’t forget about lips. 

Use Aquaphor! 

It’s heaven-sent. 

Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm 

My friends swear by it 

Rhode Beauty’s peptide lip treatment works amazing with your favorite lipstick to keep your lips moisturized 

Dry skin is out, Dewy skin is in
