Forget the winter blahs, I’m dealing with winter skin blahs.
As pretty as the snow is outside, my skin sees it differently. I’m one of those people whose face instantly tightens when I step out into the cool air. So I always pile on the moisturizer.
This time of year I like a thicker cream, and lately I’ve been switching things up between Shiseido Bio-Performance Advanced Super Revitalizing Cream (love the consistency), and Physicians Formula Wrinkle Filler & Deep Moisture (a bit thinner, but works well). I’m not crazy-concerned with wrinkles just yet, but I just find these really plump up the skin for the whole day. I don’t need to reapply it, and I don’t feel like my face is going to crack.
For an at-home treat, I’ve given myself the Rodial Dragon’s Blood Hyaluronic Mask. The press release said “moisture-drenched.” They got me – I had to try it. And I heard Angelina Jolie uses it too.
A few things first: Dragon’s blood isn’t blood from a fire-breathing dragon. Go figure! It’s actually a natural red pigment that has been buzzy as of late for its skin-plumping properties. Hyaluronic acid is the ingredient that moisturizes.
The mask itself smelled sweet. I found it thin and super easy to apply. The instructions said to put a thin layer all over the face. Since it’s shiny you can see exactly where you put it. Plus, it’s a quick one – just 10 minutes. It felt like a mini facial.
