I’ve been spending most of my days outside wrapped up from head to toe, trying to keep warm and keep my skin away from the cold weather of Chicago. Since I lost my mittens, the only parts of me exposed to the elements are my face and hands. And while I’m so concerned with keeping them warm, I forget to keep them safe from the sun! It’s important to apply products with SPF on your skin, even when the weather is freezing cold. Here are some SPF products I’ve been using to prevent sun damage to my hands and face in the winter:
My lips are constantly dry in this weather, so I need a lip balm that helps to moisturize, heal, and provide some sun protection. Aveeno Essential Moisture Lip Conditioner with SPF 15 does all of that really well. It’s scentless and hypo-allergenic, and applies smoothly and evenly, without even a hint of waxiness. It’s made with natural oatmeal, jojoba oil, and shea butter, all natural skin conditioners that smooth and soften my lips gently. I passed it on to my boyfriend to test, and even he liked how effective it was.
For my face, my moisturizer with SPF of choice is philosophy’s hope in a jar spf 20, which I reviewed, and applied religiously, over the summer. It’s become my go-to for the winter, as well. And to moisturize my hands, I turn to Neutrogena Age Shield Hand Cream SPF 30. I like that it’s not greasy and absorbs pretty quickly. It combines moisture, SPF, and anti-aging elements for the perfect hand cream to protect against all elements. What more can you ask for? Check these out and protect your skin this winter!
