Protecting my Skin in the Fall to Winter Transition

Protecting my Skin in the Fall to Winter Transition

I wrote this article through a sponsorship with SocialStars. My opinions are my own but my need for the Curel Itch Defense Line is real. #curelskincare My morning routine is made up of the usual choirs like showering along with hair and makeup, but now that the weather’s changed and were transitioning from fall to winter I’ve had to add in a some new steps to make sure I’m ready for the day.

Let Paula’s Choice Create Your Ultimate Skincare Routine

This post is sponsored by Pretty in my Pocket and Paula’s Choice. All opinions are my own. I get lots of questions about my skincare regimen.

Heal Dry Itchy Skin with New Vaseline Intensive Care Healing Serum.

People have mixed emotions when it comes to winter. The start of winters signals the singing of Christmas Carols and decking of the halls as people began to get ready for the holidays. To others, winter unleashes a dread as the air becomes dryer and the cold begins to reek havoc on one’s skin.
