My Winter Skincare Saviors: Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream and First Aid Beauty Facial Radiance Overnight Mask
Unless you live under a rock, I'm pretty sure you're aware of the unbelievably frigid temperatures we're experiencing right now. (For example? It was -6 degrees in Pittsburgh when I woke up this morning with the wind chill making it feel like -17. Um, gross.) To that end, I've needed to adjust my skincare regimen so my face doesn't crack, flake or peel. Enter these products from Kiehl's and First Aid Beauty.
There's something miraculous happening with the combination of Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream and the First Aid Beauty Facial Radiance Overnight Mask. My skin actually feels hydrated at a time when it should feel like the Sahara. Honestly, my skin has NEVER felt so soft in all the winters I've experienced (and -- gulp -- I'm up to 35 of them).
Now, I've actually written about both of these products in the past. Last winter, I teamed the Kiehl's moisturizer with the Kiehl's Ultra Facial Overnight Hydrating Masque. This year, partly because I wanted to try a different pairing and partly because I have no idea where my Kiehl's mask is, I went for the First Aid Beauty mask.
The results have been exquisite. Both of these products are supremely hydrating and sink into skin immediately upon contact -- especially nice for the mask, which, due to its gel-cream texture, could have the tendency to feel sticky. (Thankfully, it doesn't.) At this point, my skin is so soft and smooth that it's difficult to stop touching it! And that's definitely a nice perk in the midst of this terrible cold snap.
Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream retails for $26.50 at kiehls.com. First Aid Beauty Facial Radiance Overnight Mask retails for $38 at sephora.com.
