New Skincare Treats and Treatments to Chase Away the Winter Blues

It’s time to banish the winter blahs with indulgent products that plump, nourish, soothe and refresh the skin.  This year’s new crop of beauty treats are as much fun to use as they are effective. I Dew Care Ice Cream Masks in Matcha Mood, Cake My Day, and Berry Groovy look like gelato and feel just as rich on skin, while Kopari’s Coconut Detox Mask has probiotics to nourish the skin’s microbiome protective layer while hydrating with coconut oil.  Masks that smell and feel like dessert without the guilt? Yes please!

Overnight treatments are so easy to use: just apply, go to bed, and wake with a fresh, glowing complexion.  GlamGlow’s Good In Bed Passionfruit Softening Night Cream hydrates, exfoliates, and nourishes the skin while you sleep.  Nurse Jamie Miracle Base Beauty Oil is a versatile treat that can be used on it’s own or added to moisturizer and massaged into the skin with your favorite beauty tool. Containing 100% botanical oils it soothes irritation and inflammation.  

Adding a serum takes your skincare regime from basic beauty to glow pro.  My Daily Dose of Uplift Serum by Skin Inc. is a powerhouse with nutrient-rich marine collagen to help improve the skin’s firmness and elasticity, antioxidants to protect, vitamins C + E to reduce wrinkles, and hyaluronic acid to plump.  Use morning and night to improve the condition of your skin and maintain a natural glow.  Alpyn Beauty’s PlantGenius Survival Serum contains three different acids to reduce discoloration and to refine the skin tone, hyaluronic acid and squalene to hydrate, and licorice extract to brighten.  

Don’t forget your lips! I love Fresh Sugar Mint Rush Freshening Lip Treatment which is rich in oils to soften and hydrate, and sugar to prevent moisture loss. Press the lips together to re-activate the product’s ingredients for up to 24 hour protection. 

Spring is not that fare away, even if it feels like the deep freeze might never leave and  pampering your skin for the warm days ahead while indulging your senses puts the treat in treatment.

The Best New Face Masks for Treating Winter Skin

If you are anything like me, harsh winter weather is probably taking its toll on your skin.  Forced heat, wind, dry conditions, and a lack of vitamin D all contribute to a dull, dried-out, over-sensitive complexion.  I love face masks so much that I could easily use one every evening, which might be a bit excessive, but I love how indulgent it feels to pamper myself and to actually watch my skin bounce back, dewy and glowing and plump.  

Over the past few winters I used sheet masks, clay masks, and refining masks, all on rotation and each one addressing a different skin concern.  This years favorites are a bit more tactile and futuristic feeling with gel patches and rubber masks that are fun and easy to apply, a snap to remove, and are loaded with skin nourishing benefits.  

Smaller patches are especially interesting as you can choose different formulas for different parts of your face for spot-treatments.   Need to de-puff your eyes, refine your brow line, tackle breakouts on your nose and chin?  You can treat them all at the same time without using three different sheet masks - love that! 

The new high-tech rubber masks and foil masks make you feel like you are having a high end spa treatment with an esthetician, albeit minus the lovely salon ambiance and pampering, but nothing beats a face mask in your bathrobe while binge-watching Netflix.  Here are some of my new favorites lining my vanity and quickly becoming a daily part of my evening ritual:

All masks and patches available at Sephora.com
