Weโve been so incredibly lucky in the weather department so far in Chicago, but Iโm still dreading the next few months ahead. When it comes to winter, I want to be excited about the holidays, spending time with family, twinkling lights, the peaceful snowfalls, and festive frocks and fetes. However, when I think of winter, my thoughts usually go to one of a few places that arenโt so pleasant โ the thought of being clenched up and absolutely freezing for months on end, dry air that makes it harder to breathe, and itchy, dry skin. This year, Iโm doing everything I can to try to fight the signs of winter, both mentally and physically!
I got a heavy-duty humidifier a few weeks ago to start pumping some moisture into the air in my apartment. Iโve noticed such a difference between the air in my apartment and inside other places in the city. I seriously breathe so much easier at home! Iโve even noticed a shortness of breath when working out thatโs made me feel like Iโm really out of shape. I never realized how much more dry Chicago is compared to New York, but my skin has been taking a toll, too. Iโve been drinking as much water as possible throughout the day to try and stay hydrated from the inside out, but it just doesnโt seem to be enough.
AVEENOยฎ sent me their Skin Relief Gentle Scent™ Body Wash and Body Lotion to try out and itโs definitely helping in the healthy skin department! Iโve been using AVEENOยฎ face and body products since high school. The oatmeal bath soaks are my go-to for seriously itchy, dry skin! For the past few years, Iโve been using AVEENOยฎ body lotion when Iโm showering at SoulCycle, too, because most locations keep it stocked in the locker rooms. When it comes to hydrating winter products, I always think of extra thick creams that smell like petroleum jelly. I get weary of scents when my skin is extra dry in the colder months, but the AVEENOยฎ Gentle Scent products are anything but irritating and sticky. Iโve been testing out both the Coconut and the Oat & Chamomile scents, and I really like them both. The Coconut scent is stronger than the Oat & Chamomile, but it instantly transports you to a beautiful beach in a tropical locale. At least mentally, anyway! If youโre looking for something a bit more subdued, the Oat & Chamomile fits the bill perfectly. Itโs subtly sweet and smells oh-so-spa-like. I love using the body wash and body lotion before bed to relax a bit before hitting the sheets. The natural ingredients of oatmeal, coconut, chamomile, and soy have been doing wonders both my skin and mind.
It always takes me a few weeks to figure out my new skincare regime when the seasons change so abruptly. I tend to swap out my moisturizers, masks, and nighttime oils for products that cater more towards moisture versus detoxifying. In the summer months, I wear sunscreen on top of my usual moisturizer, but itโs still so important to incorporate SPF into your routine in the winter months, too. When youโre looking for a new winter moisturizer, make sure youโre choosing one with SPF to make it easy to remember to wear it! I like to opt for a 2-in-1 product to make it easy. Iโve been testing out the POSITIVELY RADIANTยฎ Daily Moisturizer with SPF 15 and have been really pleased! Itโs oil free, which is a must have in my book. Even though my skin gets so dry, my face starts to look way too shiny when Iโm not using oil-free products during the day. My skin starts to look pretty dull after a few weeks of winter, so Iโm excited to have POSTIVELY RADIANTยฎ Daily Moisturizer in my bathroom cabinet. Itโs actually clinically shown to improve the tone and texture of your skin, as well as improve brown spots and blotchiness. Sign me up!

I love Aveeno products because my skin is so dry and sensitive. Living in the desert doesn’t help haha so a good moisturizer is a must.

I live in Colorado so my skin is always dry! I have tried so many products, expensive and affordable, but nothing has given me what I need. I’m going to give Aveeno a try and I will let you know what I think in a few weeks! Wish me luck! Any tips for dry hair?
Aveeno is without my go-to brand for any/all things skincare. I keep a bottle of Positively Radiant Moisturizer in my makeup bag and at home, and I keep a bottle of Daily Moisturizing Body Lotion by my bed. I also travel with a smaller bottle of Daily Moisturizing Lotion, because I really can’t go anywhere without it! Looks like I need to try their body washes as well!
