Editor’s Picks for Fall/Winter Skin Care

fall skin care picks

If you have sensitive or fussy skin, you know how hard it is to keep your skin happy, especially in the colder months. Once you get the hang of what your skin wants, the weather changes and you are back to square one, right? Well, at least that’s what I deal with here in New England, anyway. My skin has a tendency of getting over oily in the summer which causes unexpected breakouts. Then when the weather cools down, if I keep up with my same skin care routine, I end up with overly dry skin that breakouts because it’s irritated! It just can’t be pleased…

Now I try to stay one step ahead of the game by changing my beauty routine every 3 months. Starting in September, I’ve got to stop using my facial cleansers that have salicylic acid to avoid over drying my skin. I also have to start using a facial scrub at least once a week. Then I have to slowly wean off my summer moisturizers and into my Fall/winter moisturizers.

I put together my top picks for facial moisturizers, facial scrubs and lip balms to help keep your whole face feeling great, even when the weather gets colder.

Editor Picks Best Facial Moisturizers:

 

perricone-md-intensive-moisture-therapyPerricone MD Intensive Moisture Therapy

I’m a huge fan of Perricone MD and this product is no exception… This intensive moisturizing cream is specially formulated with Phospholipids to help nourish and protect, all while helping to repair overly dry and fatigued skin. It enhances the appearance of facial contours and smooths out facial skin’s texture, delivering instantly visible changes like more radiant and healthy looking skin. Gentle enough for stressed skin that has undergone physical or environmental changes too. This is a must-have for your winter beauty routine.

Retails for $137.00 and is available for purchase at FragranceNet.com for $136.

 

 

elysee-time-out-rjj-mineral-moisturizerElysee Time Out™ RJJ Mineral Moisturizer

Accelerated skin aging as well as an increased sensitivity may be the visible warning signs of continually, stressed-out skin. What your poor skin needs is Elysee Time Out RJJ Mineral Moisturizer. It consistently helps to replenish skin with needed moisture by their unique “mineral electrolyte delivery system” that provides your skin with a fully-loaded supply of vitamins, proteins, carbohydrates and amino acids to help defend your delicate skin against environmental aggressors that cold weather can bring. I especially like this moisturizer because of the light, unobtrusive scent and light feeling on my skin.

Retails for $50 for a 1.7oz jar and can be purchased on elyseecosmetics.com or HSN.com

 

 

derma ederma e Hyaluronic Acid Day Crème

This ultra-hydrating day crème thoroughly moisturizes and plumps skin to reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles. Skin loses it’s plumpness over time and especially in the winter time when it’s dry inside from heaters, wood stoves and furnaces. This light-weight silky moisturizer feels great on skin, wears well under liquid and powder foundation and is 100% vegan, cruelty-free, paraben-free, sulfate-free, mineral oil-free, lanolin-free, gluten free, and GMO-free. A great natural option for anyone seeking an excellent winter time day cream to seal in moisture.

Retails for $29.50 for 2oz and is available on amazon.com, dermae.com, SkinCareRX.com, and Ulta.com

 

 

kate somervilleKate Somerville RetAsphere™ 2-in-1 Retinol Night Cream

The RetAsphere Smart Release™ Carrier System protects pure Retinol in a lipid shell that melts evenly into the skin, helping prevent irritation and dryness. By penetrating deep into the epidermis, this patented, time-release technology helps diminish the look of fine lines and wrinkles, and leaves the skin looking and feeling smoother and firmer. Seaweed Extract, with bio-derived Hyaluronic Acid, locks in moisture for sustained hydration, keeping the complexion healthy. This is exactly what your skin needs to prepare it for winter!

Retails for $85.00 and is available for purchase at Sephora.com, Nordstrom.com and KateSomerville.com

 

 


 

scrub your face

I always exfoliate my skin once a week during the winter months. This helps keep skin clearer and more radiant by removing any dead or dry skin that didn’t manage to stay moisturized. It also helps makes the most out of your moisturizers by allowing them to soak deeper into the skin and be the most effective. You don’t want to exfoliate your face too often or you will irritate it, dry it out and can even cause a breakout. Instead, gently exfoliate skin once (maybe twice) a week, pat skin dry and immediately follow with one of the excellent moisturizers we recommended above.

Not all facial scrubs compare! Here are a few of my personal favorites that I recommend.

 

Editor Picks Best Facial Scrubs:

 

Blemish Control Green Tea ScrubSt Ives Apricot Scrubs

Contains these natural ingredients:

  • 100% Natural Apricot Extract
  • 100% Natural Exfoliants (corn kernel meal and walnut shell powder)
  • 100% Natural Moisturizer (glycerin)

I love St Ives scrubs because they exfoliate to invigorate dull skin with Corn kernel meal – which is known to improve skin’s appearance, Walnut – which is known to naturally exfoliate the skin, Apricot extracts – which is known to replenish moisture to the skin.

I use it on a weekly basis during the colder months, to keep my skin smooth and radiant by removing dry and dead skin.

Retails for around $3.99 a tube and can be purchased a drugstores and most mass retailers like Target, Walgreens, Drugstore.com.

 

 

derma ederma e Exfoliating Scrub With Fruit Enzymes and Dead Sea Salt

One of my favorites! This exfoliating scrub combines Fruit Enzymes and Dead Sea Salt to draw impurities out of the skin while smoothing away dull surface cells to reveal fresh, radiant skin. Fall and Winter weather can dry skin out so you may need to exfoliate more often. Be sure to follow up with a a toner and a great moisturizer (check out the list above).

Retails for $13.95 and is available at Amazon.com, dermae.com, SkinCareRX.com, Drugstore.com

 

 

michael todd organicsMichael Todd Organics Jojoba Charcoal Scrub

This organic and unique facial scrub formulated with Jojoba Wax Beads and Activated Charcoal effectively and gently removes dead skin, impurities and toxins from the skin. Jojoba Wax Beads provide gentle exfoliation without leaving microlacerations on delicate and sensitive skin. The highly absorbent Activated Charcoal penetrates deep into your pores to draw out impurities that cause breakouts. The gentle formula is great for all skin types and it refines texture while encouraging skin renewal. It leaves your skin smooth, refreshed and ready for your favorite moisturizer! Best of all? It has organic ingredients.

Retails for $18 and is available for purchase at michaeltoddtrueorganics.com

You do not find a happy life. You make it. 

That’s the biggest lesson that grief has taught me. If I just wait around to be happy again, I’ll die sad. 

You don’t get through grief and come out the other side. That’s not how it works. You learn how to grow around it like a tree grows around a rock that’s in the way. You don’t wait for the rock to move. Cause it’s not gonna. 

Choose happy. And then make it happen.

Happy Valentine’s Day, @daeinexplains 🥰

The last 20 years with you have been my favorite years on this earth. ❤️ 

If I did anything right in my life, it was when I decided to give my heart to you.  You are my best friend, my soul mate, my better half, my rock, my everything. 

I love you.

Kids love helping if you just let them!💁🏼‍ Kids love helping if you just let them!💁🏼‍♀️

This little guy always asks to help when he sees me cleaning the house, washing the floors, doing laundry, or emptying the dishwasher. That’s what I love about Montessori parenting - it allows kids to do  big jobs and in turn makes them eager to help! 

He was over the moon when we gave him the @lovevery floor mop that actually works! He uses it daily now. The mopping pad is machine washable and you can refill the fluid container on it. I usually just do water and a drop of essential oils because he loves it when everything smells clean! 😜 

Definitely recommend! If you want to grab this mop for your little helper, it’s in the Storyteller Play Kit from Lovevery for 3 year olds. 

LlNK is in my bio to get FREE shipping! 💃🏼

Stop trying to fit your square self in a round hol Stop trying to fit your square self in a round hole. 

Sometimes we outgrown relationships. Sometimes we realize someone else isn’t a good influence on our lives. Sometimes we realize we aren’t a good influence for someone else. Sometimes we need to let things go that aren’t good for us in order to grow. And that’s ok. 

Stop trying to sit at a table you are no longer welcome at. Just be yourself, focus on God, love your family and friends, and the right people will gravitate to you. ✌🏻

Today was my due date for Dylan. Considering he w Today was my due date for Dylan.

Considering he was my 6th child, it's possible he would have been here by now. It’s been extra hard for me this week. 

Despite my best efforts to be strong and stay positive, I am completely brokenhearted. I’m just being honest. I could pretend I’m fine, but that doesn't do me or anyone else any good to be dishonest about the pain of miscarriage or the grief that comes with losing a child. 

My heart is completely shattered from having an empty womb and an empty nursery. An empty bassinet in the corner and unused tiny newborn outfits, all washed, folded, and ready… for nothing. 

It makes me physically sick to my stomach when I think about it all and I can't even fathom how I got here. How did I get here? 

This isn't how it's supposed to be! I should be holding a newborn right now! It’s so unfair. 

In an instant, my baby was gone and there was nothing I could do to change that. 

It doesn't matter how much time passes or what else happens in life, I will always miss him. My heart with always long for my baby. 

Those who haven't experienced loss tell you that "Don’t worry! Things will get better, just focus on the positive!" but people who actually know this grief and what it actually feels like to lose a baby, won’t tell you that. They know this hard road. They understand that unfortunately you don't just “get over it.” 

The grief doesn't just go away, even if you try to ignore it, it's still there. Like the sun. You don’t have to look at it to know it’s there. You can turn your back on it but it will still warm your skin. 

The grief from losing a child is unbearable. 
It is unpredictable.
It is unforgiving.
It is relentless.
It is all-consuming.
And it completely shatters you when you don’t expect it. 

You don’t get over it. You don’t forget. You simply learn to live with it. And I’m learning to live with it every day. 

It’s been 137 days I’ve had to live without my baby. 

Lord Jesus, please… hold me extra tight tonight.
