This product finally solved my Winter skin problem

Every year, like clockwork, I would notice it. First, the increased redness after a warm shower. Then, the incessant dryness followed by inevitable itching. My shins were dry and uncomfortable every Winter for as long as I can remember. I tried lotion after lotion and just thought it was something I would have to deal with forever.

Then, I tried a body oil. This was back at the beginning of my clean beauty journey. I hadn’t really given any thought to the difference between a body lotion and a body oil. I just knew that the thought of putting an oil on my skin didn’t sound very appealing. I was SO wrong.

I wish I had started sooner. Pretty much as soon as the first body oil touched by skin, the problem was solved. I was reading reviews online, looking for an oil to try out of sheer desperation. Everyone was raving about how hydrating they are, so I tried one. Yup, they were right. My skin soaked it right up and retained the moisture significantly better than any other product I had tried before. I can honestly say that I have never experienced uncomfortable Winter skin again.

Since then, my skincare routine has opened up to a variety of hydrating oil products, everything from cleansing oils to shave oils to face oils. If you’re experiencing dry skin and haven’t tried an oil yet, you’re seriously missing out! Keep scrolling to view some of our Shimmer faves!
