2Stick With It
If you’ve been unable to wear lipstick in the winter because of a parched pout, we’ve got good news: This stick is a serious multitasker, taking the place of an anti-aging lip balm and a pretty lip stain. The product features ingredients like shea butter to moisturize and vitamins A, C and E to ward off free radicals. It goes on clear before changing color, so make sure you apply in front of a mirror.
3Wipe If Off
Ever skip your post-gym shower because you didn’t feel like lugging your body lotion around all day? We’ve found the solution: amazing lotion wipes. They’re perfect to stash in your purse, carry-on (no TSA issues here) or just to avoid a mess. Plus, they’re available in six scents including Cucumber & Melon and Vanilla & Coconut.
4Soften Up
Sometimes our skin gets so dehydrated in the winter that it literally flakes off. But when it comes to exfoliating your face, it’s important to find a formula like this. It’s rich in antioxidants and alpha hydroxy acids, which brighten and refresh skin.
