My Face and Body Winter Beauty Routine

Are you the kind of gal that changes your skin products according to different seasons? I do. In the summer i tend to want to have a healthy glowing looking skin and makeup and in the fall and winter I want my skin to be as healthy and hydrated as it can be. 

Through out the summer I was battling with oily skin. I always had combination skin but this summer due to humidity and some products i was using my face was producing excess oil. My dermatologist said that I  have super sensitive skin and that I needed to buy products that were fragrance free for my face. 
So that's what i did. Now that winter is finally here, I decided to change a bit my beauty regimen and try products that will help my skin stay moisturize during the winter. So here they are.


I am so happy with these products that I had to share with you ladies my face and skin regimen.
I have 3 steps in the morning. I wash my face with the Cetaphil gentle face cleanser which i have to say is for all skin types and is just amazing. It keeps my face hydrated and not oily at all. 

Second I pour a bit of the Clinique toner on a cotton swab around my t- zone. At first i was confused then i asked the sales lady at Sephora, why it says lotion and it has a number 3? She then explained it was a toner and the 3 meant that  Clinique has diferent step regimen. 

After I let my toner dry I apply my face moisturizer. At the moment i am loving this Clinique moisturizing gel. I have been using it for a month now and I can't get enough, it leaves my skin soft and refreshing. Just what i want.





Another product that I apply every two weeks is the Glam Glow mud mask. OMG i have so much to say about the products that I will need to write a review separately .This face mask has changed my life. LITERALLY !! This face mask is refreshing, it makes my pores shrink and takes out all the dirt of my face and leaves it soft as a baby. I remember the first time i applied it i lasted one week without applying makeup because i loved how my face glowed and looked.

As for skin i keep it simple. Coconut oil and a good moisturizer. I am currently loving my new Hempz body moisturize it's a bit on the higher end but totally worth it. It's rich and thick it makes my skin feel so soft and its 100% vegan. I apply it after i take a bath. I don't dry my skin i literally massage the cream on my skin that way my skin is well moisturize. 

the last product i use is an Egyptian cotton face towel. I use one for each day. why one each day? because when you wake up in the morning or wash your face at night you are removing from your face all the dirt that you have accumulated through out the night or day. And using the same towel means your are drying your face with all the dirt from the other days.

I didn't add an aye cream because i am on the hunt for the perfect eye cream. If you have any recommendations leave a comment and i will check them out. 

XOXO Andrea

  1. Great reminder! A lot of people don't understand why their skin begins to react differently to certain products that they've always used… a change in climate can play a big difference! I look forward to your future posts : D

  2. It’s good to hear that you found products that work best for you. It’s kinda hard to look for some that won’t irritate your skin, especially if you have sensitive skin.

  3. Happy New Year! Hope u r well. Its the winter season and in this period skin becomes rough and dry.One hand, when summer, then its oily and when winter, its dry. Really a troublesome problem.But as my opinion, OBAGI NU DERM KIT will be the best choice for you. This pack contains all the products that are regardlessly used for any season and any type of skin.U can try this.The product is also authentic.
    Thnx, Bye.....
