Along with bringing falling leaves and inevitably cooler
temps, autumn marks my skin’s annual transition from combination-oily to
combination-dry. In the past, it was always a time I’d dread, (at least
beauty-wise), especially since any moisturizer I’d try, any time of year, would
ultimately irritate my skin and make me break out.
Luckily, that all changed this past summer after I won a Neutrogena
giveaway hosted by (my fave!) beauty blogger Elle Sees. Along with other fun
items like makeup-removing wipes, a color stick and mascara, my prize pack included
a full-sized bottle of Oil-Free Moisture lotion for combination skin.
Though I was initially a bit skeptical following so many bad
experiences with moisturizers, I started using it right away and am happy to
say that it’s been working great ever since, even now, as the air (and my skin)
get drier. Along with having noticeably smoother, brighter skin, I’ve also been breaking
out far less. Hopefully, I’ll be able to stick with this formula all winter
long, using more if needed as the days become ever more frigid.
How do you keep your skin from becoming too dry during the
fall and winter months? Do you have a favorite moisturizer or other skin
product you swear by?
I use Kiehl's Argan Oil during the day and their Midnight Recovery serum at night. It has done wonders!
ReplyDeleteGlad you found what works for you! Have a great weekend!
DeleteI wish that worked for me but I felt made my face more oily
ReplyDeleteThat's what I was afraid might happen to me, but luckily, it didn't. I hope you have a great weekend!
DeleteI love Neutrogena, I use their face wash all the time. For dry skin I do use Vaseline intensive care lotion. But maybe I'll try this! :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, Neutrogena is awesome! I should try the face wash, too.
Deleteso glad you are loving it! the oil-free version works wonders!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Elle! It definitely does!
DeleteThat's the lotion I use too!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I'm so glad I discovered it.
DeleteIt's so awesome when you find a product that really does work! Yay for winning it too!

Yeah, winning makes it even more awesome! :)
DeleteI haven't tried Neutrogena moisturizer in a while but remember liking it. I live in perpetual summer heat now so haven't thought about a good facial moisturizer in a while. I do love a good spot of argan or jojoba oil on the face too. Those oils are so versatile on the face and body!
