GLOW, BABY, GLOW! Winter Weather Beauty Tips

I don't know about y'all but Blizzard Jonas completely threw me OFF!

I have yet to successfully shovel a space for my car in the driveway (I AM ACCEPTING VOLUNTEERS), my only desire is to watch movies & nap; and to top it off my skin attempted to rebel against me due to the harsh winter air.

Thankfully my product hoarding has come in handy. With so much extra time being snowed in, I had the opportunity to really give my skin the T-L-C it deserves.

Whether you're staying indoors because classes STILL aren't in session, teleworking or venturing out into the cold, preventing your skin from cracking and flaking requires plenty of MOISTURE! #MAJORKEY

Moisturized, clear skin is only a snowflake away with a few of my favorite beauty products. They'll be no denying that Summer-like glow, even in the dead of Winter.

Aside from keeping yourself hydrated with H2O, come to your skin's rescue with natural oil or glycerin-enriched lotions. Masks work to add an extra boost moisture to the skin; while dewy skin mists and tinted moisturizers work above or below your makeup, respectively, to prevent popular, matte foundations from drying you out.

If these products weren't enough, I found a few moisture-locking DIY face masks that will not only act as the perfect wingman to your regimen but be the solution to your "how do I make use of all these extra 'BLIZZARD GROCERIES' I bought?". (Thanks Total Beauty!)
