NYC #PolarVortex Essentials | Battle The Cold With These Top Skin Products

Hello lovelies. I hope you're somewhere warm and toasty on this frigid day in NYC. I've been daydreaming about a tropical vacation all morning. Speaking of, I just booked a vacation to Vegas in April and it'll be my first time visiting. The weather will be around 80 degrees and gorgeous. Until then I'm stuck battling the snow in New York. To help, here are my favorite #PolarVortex skin essentials.

1. A Killer Exfoliator: Your skin is taking a beating during this cold weather and it's important to exfoliate once a week to rid your face (and body) of dry skin. My current favorite facial exfoliator is First Aid Beauty's Facial Radiance Polish. For body, use DERMAdoctor's KP Duty Body Scrub. It gets rid of everything, including "chicken skin." 

2. Heavy Moisturizer: I keep telling my friends you must moisturize, moisturize, and moisturize. Skin is naturally much drier in the winter then in the summer, so you must up the power on your cream this season. I switch up my moisturizers daily, but this week I'm using Kiehl’s Super Multi-Corrective Cream and Elizabeth Arden’s Eight Hour® Cream Skin Protectant.

EOS Lip Balm Smooth Sphere Review

I've seen these adorable EOS lip balms in Target and in pharmacies, but I always thought to myself, "I have so much lip balm! Do I really need another one?" I caved and purchased one the other day. Needless to say, I love it.

Here are five reasons why I LOVE it:

1. It's got a unique shape: I can NEVER find lip balm in my bag. Usually it's hidden under something and it's always annoying to try and find it in my big ol' bag. With this shape, it's easy to find.

2. It's long-lasting: I hate when I use a lip balm and after two seconds it's gone and I have to re-apply. Not with EOS --you apply once and that's all you need.

3. I don't have to touch it: I love Blistex's Lip Medex, but I hate that I have to touch it with my fingers. I'm constantly touching the subway or something infested with germs and even with hand sanitizer, there are germs that linger. This handy packaging makes for no touching and easy application.

4. It's good for your lips: This balm is packed with antioxidant-rich vitamin E, soothing shea butter and jojoba oil that helps keep your lips soft and smooth. (Who doesn't want soft lips?!)

5. It's super cute: I'm a sucker for cute packaging and this delivers. It also comes in five shades and flavors. They also seem to launch new flavors with each new season.

You can purchase EOS lip balms in most pharmacies and online. directly at Eos online for $3.29.

Have you ever tried Eos lip balm?
