I belong to the Dry Skin Club (combination, but towards dry) and winter is a time for special skin care routines. That also mean trying out brand new winter beauty products! Winter is also the time for so many new launches by the brands for Christmas, and I love shopping for beauty and skin care gifts. I am sharing today my favorite winter beauty products that are simply must-haves. I will also be reviewing some of these in detail, in separate posts.
Moisturizing Gloves and Socks
My No. 1 favorite beauty routine during winters is to use moisturizing gloves and socks. I usually stock them up in bulk packages for repeated use. My SpaSensials moisturizing and deep-conditioning gloves and socks came in packs of 4 and included 2 exfoliating buffs as well. If you want a hand and foot spa right at home, do try moisturizing gloves and socks! They work within minutes, but I like to put them on, sip some coffee and settle down with a book. Within a few hours, they give you unbelievable results. Infused with the likes of aloe, jojoba, avocado, and vitamins A, E and B5, they quickly repair cracked heels and leave your hands and feet leaving soft and nourished.
Nourishing Body Lotion
The Neutrogena Nourishing Body Lotion with nordic berry is my favorite day time lotion. It hydrates dry skin beautifully and keeps it nourished for hours together. The skin looks visibly moist after using it.
Face and Body Scrub
I was introduced to the AVA Deep Gorge Collection Face and Body Scrub through my FAB BAG subscription. And I really fell in love with this product. It is a beautiful scrub that does not dry my skin in winters and smells heavenly of faint, fresh sandalwood. It instantly invigorates my skin and preps it for lotions.
Body Butter
Sadly, with a dry skin, body lotions do not prove enough. I swear by body butters! They are essential inter beauty products if you have dry skin. My current pot is this Sweet Mandarin and Grapefruit body butter by Baylis and Harding England. It keeps my skin moisturized for an unbelievable 8 to 10 hours! I love to smear it all over my hands and legs before going out to be sure that my skin won’t look dry for a long, long time. Love this one!
Lip Balm
There are lip balms and then there are lip balms like these! This lovely set of 4 beautiful lip balms was a gift from a dear friend. The Oriflame tender care gift box makes for a simply lovely gift idea for a girlfriend, especially during winter time.
Woodsy Perfume
There is something about winters that is all sensual and mysterious! For this winters, I am ditching my trademark floral and fruity scents in favor of this woodsy scent. The No.07 White Patchouli and Cedar Wood perfume by RITUALS has the right amount of bold and sexy mixed in. Very different from my usual summer fragrances, this is exactly what I need for cold winter nights. I am a little disappointed that the scent does not stay very long, but I try to apply it in layers to make it last longer.
Giveaway Time
Unfortunately, my supply of SpaSensials Deep-conditioning gloves and socks is coming to an end and I am unable to find a replacement anywhere. While looking for a replacement, I came upon LuxaDerme Deep Moisturising Treatment- Hand Hydration Gloves and thought of an idea. How about we try them together? It will be fun testing them and comparing notes, will it not? So, I will choose 3 of you to try these moisturizing gloves along with me!

My favourite winter care tip is a body mask of banana,milk powder and honey .Since my skin is very dry ,this pack gives the nourishment & makes my skin smooth,supple & less itchy due to dryness.Also I apply Vaseline cocoa glow body lotion to help prevent dryness.But let me admit that I have never ever tried nor heard about moisturizing gloves & socks ,so it’s my big wish to be the luckiest one to try them alongwith you.
Hey Lata,
What an awesome list of products.
Two of them actually matches my list Neutrogena lotion and the lip balm. Though I love using variety of lip balms since my lips often become dry during winters.
For winters I apply lotions during morning and make sure to use it during night. I also do the same for my baby.
Would tag few of awesome mummy’s like us on your Facebook post.
Would by happy if you share the set of lip balms. #happywinters
Hi
Very well written…
Amazing winter beauty tips. Sharing mine
1. Do apply branded moisturizer n lip balm regularly. Before ur skin gets cracked. One can use home based moisturizer glycerine +rose water +lemon juice.
My Mom. MRS. KAVITA Aggarwal is not on social media.. Wud tag an aunty on fb.
Winter beauty tip which I follow without fail :
Stay hydrated to keep the dryness at bay. Water is an excellent lubricant to keep your skin soft and supple. Also avoid hot bath. Instead use lukewarm water to avoid skin dryness which is a major winter problem
Wow such a beautiful presentation, all the products are looking so desirable, i too swear by oriflame lip balm along with possess body cream and foot scrub and foot care cream for winter care, one home made thing i use for winters are fresh aloevera extract and virgin coconut oil from bodyshop conconation to make a pack to nourish my mane and body, this mixture gives me amazing results
Awesome Review Lata, would love to enter but as per the rules I can’t. ATB to all..

Hi Lata…
I was really looking forward to your #cosmetics blog post since it’s been u did one!!
All these products are so gorgeous and desirable!!
Putting my efforts to win the moisturizing gloves…..it sounds amazing because I’ve never used such amazing product for dry hands in winters!!!
I hope Sanika is doing great now!!
The one product I swear by in winters is good quality lip balm. I swear every girl hates dry lips especially in winters. So what I do is I keep my Maybelline Baby Lips Strawberry Lip Balm handy and apply a generous amount of balm before sleeping at night. It works wonder!!!
Okay…so I just went through the giveaway rules again. I can’t participate in this!! no problem ATB to the participants!!
Hello fabulous momlife,
My beauty tip for winter :
1. A bottle of glycerine
2. 1 whole lemon
3. 4 tbsp rose water
Mix all above ingredients and store them in a bottle.
Apply this solution every night before going to bed.Initially it will feel a bit sticky but keep massaging until it’s fully absorbed.
You will have glowing and a moisturised skin each morning. Skin will be so supple and glowing that dryness will go off completely and just a dab of moisturiser would be required the next morning.
Even if you don’t apply the moisturiser you are good to go.
Moisturising through out winters is a must…. u can use coconut oil mix with camphor– to apply on ur skin…. lip balms for people who can not moisturize rapidly….
Just sharing my views….. not for the luckycontest
Sabse pehle is giveaway k liye thank u, 2nd thanks to Hiral ko, jinhone itna pyaar aur vishwas mujh ko dikhaya
Meri winter care me ubtan must hai twice a week use karti hu,har baar DIY ka hi ubtan rehta hai, is se dead skin nikal jaati hai, blood circulation accha ho jaata hai
My most needed essential is a lip balm ..My lips becomes super dry
