There are truly so many incredible things about the winter months. First, peacoats and the first snow of the year! Second, plenty of days off from work to melt into your couch with a mug full of hot chocolate and your pets at your side...
On the other hand, the winter months can wreak havoc on your skin — especially if you're someone who is already prone to dryness. And... there's truly nothing worse than trying to apply your foundation on top of flaky skin.
To address your dry winter skin, you're probably going to want to make some adjustments to your skin care routine. As for your makeup, switching to a hydrating foundation formula will definitely help! (Especially since there are so many great foundation/skin care hybrids on the market these days.)
Ready to meet your new favorite foundation? No matter what price point you're looking at, there's a perfect winter foundation out there for everyone — one that offers moisturizing ingredients, your desired coverage amount, and a beautiful finish that'll make your skin look even healthier.
