Bye bye winter dry!

Well, it's here, we are in the heart of winter and I don't know about you but my skin gets super dry this time of year. Not just super dry, but itchy, tight and very uncomfortable feeling. Thank goodness I discovered the benefits of oil based skincare! Here are some of my top favorite products to help combat winter dryness.

This gentle cleanser deeply cleanses, removing all makeup and impurities and leaves skin soft and dewy. Superbly removes dirt, sebum and makeup including long lasting makeup and water-proof mascara all while replenishing essential emollients needed to maintain the skin's lipid barrier.
