winter skincare essentials

During winter, when skin  is constantly exposed to countlesss unfriendly conditions outside and temperature swings it's crucial to develop a gentle yet effective skincare routine, adjusted for our complexion type and meeting its fundamental needs . And even though I know it may be nothing you haven't seen before, I deeply believe that there's never enough talking about important matters, even the seemingly inconspicuous ones like skincare -  hence why today I wanted to introduce you to some of my older and newer allies that invariaply help me combat the negative impact of winter weather.



Avène lotion micellaire
Micellar lotion 

This is a newcomer in my collection, but it stole my heart the first day. I've been looking for a product that won't leave my face tight after cleansing and this lotion not only smells a-mazing, but gently (yet still effectively!) washes the makeup off and make my skin feel soft and ready for next steps.



The Ordinary  Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5
Serum

Another newbie, another one that I'm gradually getting used to - I have to admit though, it's been a long process since I was a bit skeptical at first - acid and sensitive skin  don't exactly sound like a great idea (I'm still a bit suspicious), but I decided to give it a go and so far it feels really good actually - the serum brightens up my face and evens out the complexion tone which feels extra nice during the time of the year when our skin tends to look grey and dull.



Tołpa Dermo Face Physio
Toner 2 in 1

I have already befriended the micellar water and face cleanser from Dermo Face Physio range (100% recommend as well),  so it was high time I tried their toner-serum. I use it inerchangably with The Ordinary serum and treat my skin with it right before putting on the moisturiser. The toner restores calm, hydrates and sooths, and at the same time it's super gentle and doesn't irritate my sensitive complextion.



The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA
Moisturising cream

I usually mix this cream with another moisturizer and use it both under my makeup and before sleep - the combo creates a lasting barrier  that protects my skin from cold, wind and other external factors and is infailable in providing it with lasting feeling of  comfort.
