Fashion Reverie’s Winter Skincare Roundup

Well it’s 2020. Fashion Reverie hopes everyone had a wonderful holiday season, but now it’s time to settle in for what some forecasters are predicting to be a brutal winter. And the harsh winter season goes beyond the chilly temperatures and bad weather. Harsh, dry winter weather can do havoc on your skin, and some kinds of heating can suck the moisture out the air to the point where some people will become susceptible to nosebleeds. Worse than a bloody nose, the arid conditions can result in dull, lifeless skin!

Fashion Reverie refuses to let that happen to you. We have curated a plethora of products to make your skin glow and dewy soft in 2020!

Everydaze Eye Patches
These eye patches are perfect for giving you lustrous vibrant skin. Skin around the eyes is particularly delicate and quick to show the stresses of dry air. These eye patches will bring you back to life.

Diamond Drop Hydrogel Patches
These eye patches utilize vitamin B3 and niacinamide which evens out skin tone, reduces discoloration, minimizes fine lines, and deeply hydrates skin. They also contain arbutin which has antioxidant properties that reduces uneven skin tone for a brighter complexion. Diamond powder brightens your skin and caffeine reduces puffiness.

Gold Charcoal Hydro Get Patches
Looking to rewind the years? Enriched with age-rewinding gold, detoxifying charcoal powder and skin-lifting adenosine, these eye patches will tighten and lift the skin. Charcoal powder detoxifies the weak and thin skin layer around the eyes. Seawater-derived fermented ingredients repairs and rejuvenates the skin.

After your normal skin care routine, but before your regular moisturizer place patches under eyes using tweezers (patches are delicate). Leave them there for 20 minutes (for extra relief from early morning puffiness put patches in the refrigerator).

Beekman 1802
Beekman 1802 founders Brent Ridge and Josh Kilmer Purcell began their company almost by accident when their high fat goat milk soap was created as a Christmas gift for Martha Stewart (True story! read Josh’s hilarious New York Times bestseller “A Bucolic Plague” for the details.) Since that time, the brand has grown by leaps and bounds including cheese, ice cream, apparel, home accessories, and skincare.

Their moisturizing goat milk soap is perfect for winter. They help keep your skin hydrated while showering. Choose lukewarm water instead of hot for baths and showers and if possible try to avoid bathing daily opting for every other day to avoid drying out skin.

Beekman 1802 Triple Milk Starter kit is perfect for keeping winter skin exfoliated and hydrated. A combination of cow, goat, and coconut milk is the secret. (Cleopatra used to bathe in milk for its exfoliating properties centuries before there was a word for it.)

Use the cleanser to wipe away grime and oil. Exfoliate with the AHA, BHA-based Milk Peel. Massage a teaspoon sized amount over clean face with a cotton pad. Leave on for up to 10 minutes or until skin tingles. (Do not exceed 10 minutes.) Rinse with warm water and moisturize with Beekman 1802’s Illumination Skin Milk for dewy lustrous skin.

Foundation
Applying makeup to dry skin can be uncomfortable. Give your face a hydrated glow with these foundations.

Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Liquid 24H Longwear Foundation

This velvety smooth makeup provides all-day medium to full coverage while moisturizing and protecting skin. It even provides SPF 15 because everyone needs sunscreen protection every day, even in winter.

Revlon ColorStay Liquid Foundation for Normal/Dry Skin
Looking for long-term hydrating coverage without the department store price tag? Revlon has patented its SoftFlex comfort technology, which guarantees up to 16 hours of buildable coverage without caking, fading, or dullness. This too comes with SPF.

Dr. Jen’s House of Beauty
Showering daily in winter can result in dry skin. One way to keep your skin hydrated is with body butters. Some of the best body butters available are from Dr. Jen’s House of Beauty. The rich cream smells amazing.

Dr. Jen’s House of Beauty—also comes in unscented—is cruelty free and doesn’t contain harmful chemicals. If you need even more hydration, you can choose Super Luxe Body Balm. If worse comes to worse and you develop cracks in your super dry skin, try Fissure King high intensity moisture cream. The combination of shea butter, aloe, centella asiatica extract, and sea buckthorn berry oil soothe and moisturizes painful cracked skin. For optimum healing slather a thick layer on your hands/feet at night, don thick socks/gloves and let the cream work its magic overnight!

Color The World lipsticks
Many people forgo lip color all together during winter months due to having dry chapped lips, sticking to transparent lip balms. But thanks to Color the World you don’t have to. Color the World lipsticks are specifically designed for delicate skin around the mouth for women of a certain age.

Lines around the mouth is an reveals age, and having lipstick bleed into those wrinkles can be awful. Color the World lipsticks are moisturizing, long lasting and will not bleed or feather into creases! Need more? With a purchase of every lipstick or treatment you are donating to charity. Each shade comes with its own cause. Find a flattering pink and help save a dog. Pick a fantastic red and help an African school buy supplies. Plus their uniquely decorated cases mean never squinting at tiny printing at the bottom of tubes or grabbing the wrong lipstick again!

MasqueBAR’s Black Gold Collection
If freezing temperatures and a lack of sunshine has you feeling down, it’s time for some self-care. Charcoal and 24K gold come together to deeply cleanse and illuminate skin. This product includes three different masks and a charcoal cleanser. This effective and festive collection clarifies, brightens, and refines skin. These masks are also as easy on your wallet as they are on your skin.

Black Gold Foil Sheet Mask – a luxurious gold foil and charcoal sheet mask designed to help deep clean and unclog pores while also calming and soothing skin.

Black Gold Peel Off Mask – a charcoal and 24K gold peel off mask that helps draw out impurities and cleanse pores while also helping to brighten the appearance of the skin.

Black Gold Sheet Off Mask – a unique charcoal sheet mask infused with 24K gold flakes. The charcoal helps to draw impurities from the pores while the mask helps to brighten the appearance of skin.

Dove Bath Bombs
Looking to relax in a nice warm (not hot!) bath this winter? Well, it’s usually not a good idea as baths can make your skin so dry it will develop a British accent. One way to not only take a relaxing bath and nourish your skin is to use bath bombs. (One challenge, bath bombs are shockingly expensive.) Dove has solved that problem with their affordably priced bath bombs.
