My Winter Skin Saviors

Hi beauties,

Because it' has been soooo cold outside I was thinking about sharing my winter skins saviors with you...hope this helps if your skin is dry and you don't know what skin care products to use.
Our skin needs a little help in winter because of the harsh cold and dehydrating central heating, our regular product might not work any more, they might not be hydrating or nourishing enough.

These are the products I've been using lately. They are not cheap, but they are extremely good, being dermatocosmetics. So, if you find your regular skin products are not efficient, I highly recommend these:

Hi beauties,
Pentru ca a fost asa frig afara, m-am gandit sa va povestesc putin despre produsele de ingrijire a pielii pe care eu personal le consider salvatoare atunci cand pielea imi devine prea uscata/deshidratata pe timpul iernii.  Pielea are nevoie de ceva mai mult ajutor pe perioada iernii din cauza efectelor nedorite ale frigului si ale aerului uscat din casa, produsele pe care le folosim de obicei nemaifiind la fel de eficiente, ci este nevoie de produse de ingrijire mai hidratante, mai hranitoare. 

In ultimul timp am apelat cam la aceleasi produse zi de zi pentru ca mi s-au parut cele mai bune, fiind dermatocosmetice. Din pacate, nu sunt foarte ieftine. Asadar, daca observati ca produsele pe care le folositi nu isi fac efectul asa cum ar trebui, acestea sunt produsele pe care eu le recomand cu incredere:

La Roche-Posay Hydraphase Intense Legere / Uriage Bariederm Onguent /Vichy Soothing & Repairing Balm

La Roche-Posay Hydraphase Intense Legere

For the face I prefer La Roche-Posay Hydraphase Intense Legere (review HERE) because it offers a high-performance rehydration with long efficiency. I find it really moisturizing for my combination skin (normal skin with oily T-zone). Sometimes I have dry patches and this moisturizer is a real skin savior.
It absorbs well without feeling greasy afterwards (maybe just a little bit on the T-zone cause it's not a mattifying cream, but not too much). It has a light consistency and the smell is really nice, so refreshing. It comes in a blue tube with an easy-to-use anti-contamination dispenser which I like. Great for sensitive skin as it is infused with thermal water. Paraben-free, non-comedogenic.

Pentru fata prefer La Roche-Posay Hydraphase Intense Legere (review AICI) pentru ca ofera o hidratare de durata. Este o crema potrivita pentru tenul meu mixt (piele normala cu zona T grasa). Cateodata am zone de piele uscata si crema asta este foarte eficienta in acest sens. 
Intra usor in piele, fara a o lasa grasa (poate putin zona T se observa mai lucioasa fiindca nu este o crema matifianta, dar nu foarte mult). Are o consitenta light, iar mirosul este foarte placut, proaspat. Este ambalata intr-un tub albastru, transparent ce are o pompita anti-contaminare, lucru care imi place. Poate fi folosita si pentru pielea sensibila, fiind infuzata cu apa termala. Fara parabeni, non-comedogenica.

Uriage Bariederm Ointment Cracks/Fissures
This is an amazing cream for my hands/feet/elbows cracked skin! It works so quickly!  Uriage Bariederm Ointment Cracks/Fissures repairs, softens and protects the skin of my body, being highly softening and hydrating, although it has a really thick formula. I was amazed how quickly it repaired the bleeding cracks on my hands!  I can feel it like a shield to my skin, but not greasy.
It has a spatula for a hygienic use and it is fragrance-free, preservative-free, having a hypoallergenic formula. Highly recommended although it's a bit pricey! I will buy it every time I have severe skin issues.

Ingredients:  octyldodecanol, polyethylene, butylene glycol cocoate, cera alba (beeswax), persea gratissima (avocado) oil, bis-diglyceryl polyacryladipate-2-pentaeryl tetrabehenate, butyrospermum parki (shea butter), hydrogenated avocado oil, panthenyl ethyl ether, synthetic wax, brassica campestris (rapeseed) sterols, squalane, tocopheryl acetate, polyquaternium-61- tocopherol, citric acid.

Uriage Bariederm Ointment Cracks/Fissures  m-a uimit cat este de eficienta pentru pielea crapata a mainilor/picioarelor/coatelor! Isi face efectul foarte repede! Repara, hraneste si protejeaza pielea corpului, ea devenind moale si hidratata, chiar daca consistenta ei este foarte groasa. Am fost uimita sa vad cat de repede mi-a "reparat" ranile sangerande de pe maini, datorate frigului si frecarii de fermoarul buzunarelor. O simt pe maini, dar nu ca fiind grasa.
Se vinde impreuna cu o spatula, din motive igienice. Are o formula ce nu contine parfum, conservanti, fiind totodata hipoalergena. O recomand datorita calitatilor sale, desi este cam scumpa. Eu o voi cumpara ori de cate ori voi nevoie.

Vichy Aqualia Thermal Soothing and Repairing Balm
My favorite lip balm is from Vichy, it is creamy, infused with Vichy thermal water and it moisturizes and repairs my lips during winter really well, keeping them soft throughout the day. Vichy Aqualia Thermal Soothing & Repairing Balm also shields lips from external aggressions.  
I like to apply it under my lipstick when I have chapped lips and go outside. I also use it at home day and night. It has 4 active ingredients: Glycerine, Shea butter, Asiatic acid and Vitamin E. It is hypoallergenic and paraben-free.

Balsamul meu favorit pentru buze este Vichy Aqualia Thermal Soothing & Repairing Balm, este cremos, infuzat cu apa termala Vichy, aceste proprietati facandu-l hidratant, emolient, lucru care ajuta foarte mult la refacerea buzelor pe timp de iarna, facandu-le soft. De asemenea, protejeaza buzele de factorii nocivi externi. 
Obisnuiesc sa-l aplic inaintea rujului atunci cand am buzele mai uscate. De asemenea, il folosesc si cand stau acasa, zi si noapte. Are 4 ingrediente active: glicerina, unt de shea, acid asiatic (???...daca asta o fi traducerea corecta) si vitamina E. Este hipoalergenic si nu contine parabeni.
 

These are my three skin saviors and I can always rely on them when I have dry, dehydrated skin.
Acestea sunt cele 3 produse care ma scot mereu din incurcatura cand am pielea foarte uscata.

What are your favorite products for this time of year? I would really like to know!

xoxo,
