Supplement your home skin care routine with a carefully selected arsenal of products to put in your handbag.
Winter in the city brings not only the magic of cleanliness when the snow falls, but also challenges for your skin. Frost, dry air and frequent temperature shifts can cause undue dehydration and skin irritation. What should you have?
Supplement your home skin care routine with a carefully selected arsenal of products to put in your handbag.
Even though the sun isn’t as intense in winter (we’re not talking about the mountains here), be sure to apply your SPF every morning. Ideally with factor 50, or at least 30. And don’t forget to reapply it during the day. The Beauty Of Joseon Matte Sun Stick Mugwort + Camelia SPF stick will do a great job. You don’t have to worry about using it over your makeup, as it won’t disturb it at all.
In a warm office or café environment, moisture disappears from the skin rapidly. So refresh your face with the Saloos Rose Water 100% Organic, which hydrates and regenerates your skin.
In winter, our lips tend to become dry, chapped and flaky. So add the La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Levres lip balm, which contains shea butter and panthenol, to your handbag. It moisturises and regenerates lips at a miraculous speed.
Just like your lips, your hands also suffer in winter. You can help them a little by wearing gloves, but it’s best to keep applying a hand cream during the day. For instance, try the Neutrogena Norwegian Formula® hand cream; your hands will feel instantly softened and nourished.
Sometimes even hand cream isn’t enough for the cuticles, and so you need a little something extra. Massage Sally Hansen Cuticle Rehab onto the nail bed and around the nail and you can say goodbye to cuticle damage.
Finally, toss a lipstick into your toiletry bag, for example, the MAC Cosmetics Matte Lipstick in the shade Taupe. With a bright lipstick, your day is sure to improve, and you’ll look refreshed. And sexy! What else could you ask for on a dreary winter’s day?
And so you don’t have to find all your things scattered around in your handbag, store them neatly in a toiletry bag. Which one are you going for?
