And it's also the end of January 2012 (almost): the temperature has dropped a bit since those warmer days we (actually, you because I wasn't here in December, but I heard it was) had in December; the wind has a bit of a bite to it; and your lips and skin are chapped and dry beyond repair. Or so you thought ...
A really easy way to winter-proof your skin is to up the stakes on your moisturizer/cream routine. I'm talking a full out, extra helping, liberal slather of your daily moisturizer. But do you want to know what works better than that: investing in a heavier cream during the winter months.
I had the opportunity recently to test out Korres Quercetin and Oak Antiageing and Antiwrinkle Night Cream and also, the Eye Cream. I jumped on the chance actually given that for the past year or so I've taken a very keen interest in greener and cleaner skincare and colour products. Korres fits the bill and is very welcome at my vanity table because let's face it - finding truly clean products that are quality as well - is quite difficult.
I'm totally feeling this night cream. While it is thick and luxurious in texture, it goes on smooth and not greasy. It absorbs quickly and the skin is left very soft to the touch once applied. After a good night's sleep, my skin still feels radiant and hydrated in the morning. Since I tend to have oilier skin, I used to be wary of thick "night" creams thinking that by morning I would resemble a greasy pan. Not the case with Korres. (Add 2 bonus points!)
Special thanks to it's main ingredient, quercetin and oak, this night cream is a "clincally proven natural alternative to Retinol" meaning that continual use would assist in minimizing the signs of ageing such as premature wrinkling and sagging (who wants to sag, right?).
If I have already hooked you on investing in this night cream you may also want to check out the complimentary Quercetin and Oak Eye Cream and also, Korres Wild Rose Face and Eye Serum. While I have not tested either of two products as extensively as I have the face cream, I do appreciate the lighter texture of the Wild Rose Face and Eye Serum. If you can get in the habit of using your night cream for night only, the serum makes for a great daytime moisturizer. It has a very light scent to it and the texture is even lighter. It disappears into the skin almost instantly, making it a great base for your makeup.
Korres is available at Sephora and also, Select Shoppers Drug Mart (I can see my Optimum Points soaring higher and higher as I type this).
