Though it’s only the second week of November, the temperatures have already been quickly dropping. While I’m super excited about the cooler weather because there’s nothing I love more than snuggling up with some blankets while reading a good book, I’m also a little wary of the brisker winds and lower temperatures since it can take a toll on my dry and sensitive skin.
I’ve been trying my best to take extra care of my skin with some soothing and gentle products, so read on to see which beauty essentials are a part of my updated skincare routine for the fall and winter.
1. Primera Alpine Berry Water Cream
This has been my absolute favorite product within the last few months. The dewy formula makes my skin feel super smooth without being sticky. The texture is lightweight and sinks in quickly, while leaving my skin hydrated and nourished throughout the day. The cream is made from a blend of strawberry sprouts and blackberries, so that it can protect the skin against environmental factors. The best thing about this cream, though, is that it’s free of sulfates, parabens, and phthalates, so it’s perfect for those with sensitive skin.

When we think about skincare routines, we often neglect our lips. The cooler temperatures usually make my lips very dry and chapped, so I always make sure to never skip out on some extra care and nourishment. One of my favorites is this lip therapy from Vaseline, since it helps to lock in moisture and gives my lips a glossy shine. I love how long-lasting this product is, and it’s also super affordable, making it a must-have in my skincare routine.
3. IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream
Aside from the shifts in my moisturizers and lip care products, another new skincare staple that I’ve been obsessed with is this CC+ Cream from IT Cosmetics. As the name suggests, this color-correcting mineral sunscreen / cream offers ample coverage, while also nourishing the skin with anti-aging hydrating serums for a natural and flawless finish. Formulated with collagen, peptides, and hyaluronic acid, this CC+ Cream helps to enhance elasticity and reduce the appearance of wrinkles in moisture by locking in moisture.
And that wraps up my updated skincare routine! What are some of your favorites?
