In the morning times it's pretty cold here in Norway. What would be the best skincare product to take care of the skin when it's cold?

Hey, we're practically distant neighbors.
In winter I live a rich cleansing milk, as my skin tends to get very dehydrated and uncomfortable in winter, and I use oil-based moisturizer, even when my skin type is normal/combination. And don't forget a moisturizing sunscreen on top.

A lot of ppl like this in the cold weather:

Ultra Facial Cream, Skincare and Body Formulations | Kiehl's Since 1851

It was tested on a mountain-climbing expedition supposedly.
Either this or a layer of Vaseline will keep the moisture in your skin.

So the only important thing is to keep the face moisturisez?

No I think the important thing in very cold weather is to form a barrier to keep the moisture IN!! Vaseline will do that too.

Aaaight I guess I'll order vaseline then.

Where would be the best place to order it from?

 

[fawnie]

It's just petroleum jelly and very cheap. You must have something like that in Norway, Krazy....???? Reindeer blubber?

haha Fawnie, of course we've got it, but the prices in Norway are always higher than prices elsewhere

Hi there,

My advice is to proceed with your usual routine BUT use a cream which protects against both WIND and SUN because even though it's cold you can still suffer the effects of any sun peeping through,

Best of luck,

Just get a moisture cream that's not mostly water like liquid moisturizers. Mario Badescu makes a great ski cream and another winter cream called hydra emollient cream for high climates and very cold weather. I only use these on the coldest days if Im out shoveling snow or playing in the snow!

I've got myself some Vaseline now

Should it be applied after using the sunscreen?

 

[fawnie]

Krazy here's what I have done in the past:

Do your usual am routine as far as washing.

While your skin is still damp, apply a bit of vaseline the size of a grain of rice all over your damp skin and neck and hands and chest.
Keep applying a layer of water and then vaseline until you feel your skin is well covered but not greasy. Pat and press it in instead of rubbing.

Apply the sunscreen by patting and pressing. Keep applying the sunscreen. You may need to switch to a heavier sunscreen formula in the winter. Like a cream instead of a lotion.

Hope this helps you stay soft and cuddly!

I'd be interested to hear how the vaseline worked out- I have issues with vaseline, I apply it to my lips but end up with spots if I apply it to my face- think its where my skin can't breathe. Not sure if its just my hyper sensitive skin- its normally fine but once on contact with mineral oil or petroleum jelly and it starts throwing itself up at me- angry big white head spots galore!

 

[fawnie]

It is very occlusive. Try not using so much and spreading it out with water.

I will suggest you to apply milk cream and curd on you face.It will make your face feel smooth and soft

I never thought of using vaseline, because of my oily face. However thank you for the other tips.
