Now that the weather has cooled down, it's time to add copious amounts of moisture to your hair, skin and lips to avoid dehydration, drying and chapping.

As soon as it cools down, I bolster my beauty routine with lots of added moisture, and here are a few of my current favorites to keep my skin, tresses and lips moisturized during the colder months.

Molton Brown Rhubarb & Rose Hand Cream ($15.00 for 1.4 oz. from Molton Brown, Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue and Barneys New York): I am completely obsessed with this hand cream because it is fast absorbing, unbelievably nourishing and hydrating, and because it smells heavenly. It leaves my hands unbelievably soft and supple, and the delectable scent lingers, but is never cloying. It is a beautifully articulated fruity floral that offers the perfect balance between the zesty citrus, Rhubarb and the Rose extract. In my book, this is hand cream perfection.Josie Maran 100% Pure Argan Oil, ($48.00 from josiemarancosmetics.com and Sephora).

I need that Leave-in Conditioner. My scalp has been feeling the wrath of the cold. :(
ReplyDeleteIt's a really effective Leave-in Conditioner, Shipra! It will definitely help during this cool weather!
DeleteI need to try that Molten Brown hand cream. I love the Josie Maran argan oil and keep a small one in my purse and send a mini with my husband to keep with him in case he needs while at work... they are such important essentials.
ReplyDeleteThe Molton Brown hand cream is A M A Z I N G, Honey! I agree that the Josie Maran Argan Oil is amazing! What a lucky husband you have to get his own Argan Oil for work!
DeleteI used to use KMS haircare all the time, but somehow migrated away to other brands. But I need to look for a KMS color-safe conditioner because they used to be the best for my hair!
ReplyDeleteI did, too Allison, and it is very bit as good as I remember it being years ago. I definitely think that the color-safe line would be worth trying.
DeleteOh, yes. Cooling down. It snowed, here today. SNOWED. I hate. Snow. With the cold comes the dried out skin and me, slathering on all of the moisturizing things. Argan oil is a great fave. I recently drained the last of my supply, time to get more.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely, it is the time of the year to really ramp up the moisturizers from head to toe. Argan Oil is definitely a great hydrator this time of year!
DeleteThe Burt's Bee is my favorite in this grouping. And with cold weather coming I'm stocking up on balms.
ReplyDeleteAs you know, I am a huge fan of all things Burt's Bees as well. I love these tinted lip balms for a faint wash of fuss-free color that can easily be applied without a mirror!
DeleteI adore Molton Brown hand creams!! That scent, along with Ginger lily and Ylang Ylang are my favorites!
ReplyDeleteI agree, Julie– their hand creams are absolutely extraordinary!
DeleteThat hand cream sounds delightful and that Argan Oil is so nice!
ReplyDeleteIt really is a delightful hand cream, and the Josie Maran Argan Oil is truly amazing!
DeleteI've been having a love affair with leave in conditioners lately so that piqued my interest, but rhubarb & rose hand cream sounds too good to pass up. Great post!
ReplyDeleteI have curly hair, so I have a love affair with leave-in conditioners all year long, but I really pile it on during the colder months! You really need to try the Molton Brown Rhubarb & Rose Hand Cream– it is utterly delectable! I'm so glad that you liked this post!
DeleteThat Burt's Bees looks super nice!
ReplyDeleteIt really is, Destany! It's also nice that it is super accessible and affordable!
DeleteI want to try the Molton Brown products! I am a huge fan of Josie Maran already!
ReplyDeleteThey are fantastic, Heather! Definitely a line well-worth exploring! Josie Maran products are AWESOME, I agree!
