An Easy Morning Routine for Winter

Use this morning routine to enjoy a little pampering before you have to get out the door in the morning with the kids. Be ready in 30 minutes or less! 

My skin is super dry. Scaly, ashy, dry.

I have noticed since late fall/early winter, my lips have been severely dry and chapped. I feel like I’m constantly putting lip balm on all day long. So, in addition to drinking more water and adding more moisture to my home and office, I have been searching for a better solution.

Here are some of the ways we manage dry skin in my family:

*Bathe and shower in warm, not hot, water.
*Wash with a moisturizing soap.
*Moisturize damp skin.
*Exfoliate dead skin.
*Take oatmeal baths when we have severe flare-ups.
*Seal in moisture.

Usually when I apply lotion, after a few minutes it disappears. Then, my skin becomes scaly as my clothing rubs against my skin.

My lip balm has been doing the same, requiring multiple re-applications.

This week, while shopping at my local Walmart, I picked up a few Neutrogena Hydro Boost products.

I noticed an immediate difference. My lips were moisturized as soon as I applied it. This moisture lasted longer than 24 hours. My lips felt luxuriously quenched. I was shocked at how long it lasted.

So I decided to add Neutrogena Hydro Boost to my morning routine. I don’t wear a lot of makeup, mostly just a moisturizer and something on my lips. So, I tried out the Neutrogena ® Hydro Boost Hydrating Lip Treatment, which makes lips look instantly beautiful, plump and soft. It instantly infuses lips with intense conditioning.

The lip treatment helps to lock in hydration for improved texture. I also picked up the Neutrogena ® Hydro Boost Hydrating Lip Shine, for date night, client meetings, or anytime I want to look extra cute.

The Lip Shine has the vibrant color of a lipstick, shine of a gloss, and conditioning of a balm. It plumps the look of lips and keeps them looking smoother, juicy, and more supple. The lip shine actually improves the healthy look, softness, smoothness and condition of your lips over time.

The Lip Treatment creates the look of fuller lips, instantly quenches lips with intense conditioning shine, is non-sticky/ non-drying, and has a luxurious feel.
