Though most of January has been surprisingly mild up to this point, it is now officially “butt-freezing cold” here in my part of the country. And as soon as that dry, cold air hits, my skin really feels it! So I need to take extra-special care of my skin during the winter, and my bet is you do too! Here’s how I use some of my favorite products to do just that. I’m a die-hard Mary Kay user, and they have some great products to keep your skin protected and moisturized during those harsh winter months. Here are my tips:
- Stick to your cleansing routine. Now more than ever, your skin needs routine care! I use Mary Kay’s TimeWise cleanser, moisturizer, Day Solution (you still need SPF during the winter!), and Night Solution to keep my skin care consistent.
- Get rid of dry skin more often. I am a HUGE fan of Mary Kay’s TimeWise Microdermabrasion set to get rid of dry skin and fine lines. I use it during all seasons but I add an extra time per week during the winter. I love the way the Refine step uses advanced exfoliators to smooth & freshen my skin and the Replenish step nourishes my skin. Seriously, it feels SO GOOD on your face!
- Add some extra moisture. I use MK’s Intense Moisturizing Cream to give my face that extra “drink” it needs during winter weather. It hydrates your skin for up to 10 hours and makes it feel awesome. I LOVE this stuff – it’s addicting!
So, those are my favorite Mary Kay products that I use consistently all winter long to keep my skin smooth and hydrated! How do you give your skin TLC in the winter?

Mary Kay sent me a selection of the above products to facilitate my review. However, I’ve been using these products for years and I can’t live without them! All opinions about the products are my own.
I really like mary kay products! the intense moisturizing cream is my absolute favorite. I suffer dry skin the whole year, and putting that stuff on is like giving myself a facial, it feels so good.
I know! I tell you it is addicting!
I love my MK skin care products too. We don’t really have Winter here in Florida, except for the famous dolphin. I recently bought the microderm abrasion set. I used it a while back but couldn’t afford to buy it again. Thankfully my friend gave me a deal! I love the stuff. However, I don’t love that right after using it all the ugliest zits come to the surface. I realize this is what it’s supposed to do and my skin is better off in the long run, but geez, there’s some gross stuff lurking down there. It really has smoothed out my face. I use it twice a week because my skin is kind of sensitive.
Ha, I don’t have the problem with it bringing anything yucky to the surface, but it definitely helps any scarring fro blemishes go away faster! I get some bad hormonal acne especially right now since my cycle resumed after nursing. It takes a few months for my hormones to behave and leave my skin alone. Don’t know what I’d do without my MK!
