Winter Skin Care #1: Kosmea

Introducing my new favourite winter product.

________

I don't know about you, but my skin suffers in winter and needs a little extra care. Contrary to what I used to believe, my skin thrives in the heat and humidity. I'm more prone to break-outs and dry patches at this time of the year thanks to the cold, dry air and harsh winds, so I've decided to share with you my favourite winter skin care products.

To kick-start the Lion in the Wild Winter Skin Care series, I'm sharing with you a couple of products from one of my go-to beauty brands, Kosmea. It's no surprise that Kosmea is a hugely successful skincare company, with highly affordable natural and high quality products (that actually, ahem, work!). I have incredibly sensitive skin, so I try to use skin care with organic ingredients as much as possible.

Kosmea Replenishing Moisture Cream


One of my biggest problems in winter is dry skin, which appears rough and flakey; not a good look in my books. While a facial exfoliant (featuring next week) removes the dry skin, moisturising is the key to prevention and maintenance. After showering, I've been applying the Replenishing Moisture Cream over a small amount of my Limited Edition Kosmea Organic Rose Hip Oil (another Kosmea product you know I swear by), while my bathroom is still steamy, making the most of those open pores. Quickly absorbed, my skin is left feeling satiny smooth, sans gross flakeyness.
Tip: A little goes a long way.

Kosmea Skin Clinic Rescue Balm


When they say 'Rescue Balm', they're not exaggerating. Containing rose hip butter (among a whole bunch of delicious natural ingredients), this Kosmea product is my saviour, my hero, my knight in shining armour, all in one compact jar. I've been using the Balm every night before bed on my often chapped lips and the difference has been nothing but formidable. My lips haven't been this smooth and juicy (yes, I just intentionally described my lips as 'juicy') in, well, ever. I've also begun using it on my cracked cuticles and dry patches on my legs (from a lack of vitamin D and wearing pants 24/7, no doubt), noticed a huge difference even after one application. I've also heard along the online grapevine that this miracle Balm soothes sunburn, and even aids in reducing the appearance of scars, bruises, cuts and grazes. I want to express how much I genuinely believe in this amazing skin care product, as it's not very often you find something this damn brilliant. For less than $30 for a 50mL jar that will last you months and months and months, it definitely tops my list for not only my winter skin care, but all-year-round.
Tip: Use before bed or a lazy day at home, as this miracle-in-a-jar applies orange.
