Winter Beauty Must Haves

Just like I swap out my t-shirts and flip flops for blanket scarves and winter boots, my makeup bag also gets an overhaul as soon as the temperature drops. These winter beauty must have products keep me moisturized all winter long.

Primer – I love to switch out my mattifying primers for a moisturizing primer during the winter to curb dry skin. The Smashbox primers are my favorite, and the hydrating one is perfect for winter.

Tinted moisturizer – I try to lighten things up by swapping my foundation for a tinted moisturizer (bonus points if it has SPF!) or using a hydrating foundation like this one.

Face mask – This mask from First Aid Beauty is incredibly hydrating and gets rid of my dry skin instantly.

Hand lotion – I don’t go anywhere without hand lotion, and the Coconut Oil hand cream from Palmer’s is a new favorite.

Cuticle cream/oil – This is especially important during the winter. I get dry, cracked cuticles really easily and this helps prevent them when the temps drop. This one is my latest favorite.

Lip mask – This is a year-round staple for me, but it’s especially important during the cold, dry months. I bought this about a year ago and I truly don’t know how I ever lived without it.

Lip exfoliator – I love a good sugar scrub to keep my lips soft. This one from Lush and this one from MAC are two of my favorites and they make great stocking stuffers!

Lipstick – With the exception of holiday parties and events, My matte and long-wearing lippies tend to be more drying so I love to swap them for hydrating lipsticks or glosses during the winter.
