AVOIDING DRY SKIN IN WINTER | AFFORDABLE SKINCARE

travelling to a cold country and experiencing winter can be really fun! but…unfortunately not for your skin 😫

i recently came back from a trip to Korea and the weather was waaay harsher than i expected. luckily for me, i had these holy grail products (all super affordable!) that helped to prevent my skin from dying in the cold.

the winter season stretches on to about March in some countries so i hope this post is helpful to those who are planning a trip soon :)

1. Lotions & Lip Balm

literally every single moisturiser and lotion i got were from Nivea, mainly because it’s a pretty affordable brand and most of their products are suitable for dry skin - which is exactly what happens to your skin in winter!

i also cannot stress how important it is to bring sufficient lip balm to avoid dry, cracked lips. this nivea lip care repair balm also has SPF15, naturally derived oils & shea butter in it’s formula so it pretty much had everything i would want in a lip balm.

products:

1. Nivea Lip Care Repair Balm

2. Nivea Soft Moisturising Cream

3. Nivea Repair & Care Body Lotion

4. Nivea Super Vitamin & Skin Foods Lotion

2. Night Serum

it’s so important to keep your face hydrated at night during the winter & i fell in love with this lightweight & refreshing serum from the moment i started using it!

i used it every night while i was in korea & it really helped my skin to feel so much better in the mornings.

product:

L’Occitane Immortelle Reset Serum

3. Vaseline

need i say more!! Vaseline petroleum jelly is definitely a must-have and i was applying this all over my nose, lips, face and hands. this helped a lot especially when the skin on my nose was peeling off from the cold.

no harm bringing extra as well so do remember to pack a couple of these!

4. SPF

just because you’re in a cold country it doesn’t mean the sun’s rays are no longer around! although they may not feel warm to us, it’s actually recommended to wear extra SPF protection in winter because the snow & ice tend to reflect the rays even more.

these 2 were my personal favs for sunscreens (no whitecast!) & sun serums:

1. Nivea Protect & Moisture Sunscreen

2. Vaseline Daily Sun Refreshing Serum

a quick trip down to guardian or watsons should help you to find most of these products (except the L’Occitane one) but i’ve also added their shopee links if you prefer to buy them online 🫶🏼 hope this helps 🥰
