What’s worse than being freezing cold? Looking like you’re freezing cold. I hate the cold-and-pasty look my face gets during those incredibly harsh NYC winters…
Here’s my quick fix trick. Instead of cleansing your face with a foam or gel (both are typically better for the spring/summer), use a cream. If you have normal/dry/sensitive skin, generally a cream will double as a mositurizer for you, since this type of cleanser is on the heavier side - plus most creams won’t leave your face with that air-tight, bone-dry feeling. My tried-and-true favorite is Noxzema Original.
Then, go straight for a liquid bronzer. Anything liquid is a natural hydrator, so the good thing is they’ll pick up the slack you may have missed by skipping the moisturizer, plus give you some color on a dull winter day. My favorite? Nars Body Glow. It smells good, works on ALL parts of the body (including the face), lasts throughout the day, and it’s affordable.
If you MUST use a moisturizer, Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector is the way to go. It’s a tinted mositurizer/foundation, so you’ll get that glowing, dewy look. Plus it’s got SPF 20+, so it protects you from those pesky UVA/UVB rays (not that you’ll get many in the winter though).
Enjoy!
