Hi Guys,

I’m finally back. I would like first to say that I’m extremely sorry for being away for such a long time. Believe me I really miss you. I’ve been really busy sorting out stuff in my life and working on re-branding my blog, maybe!!!! … There are so many things going on at this time and I just keep my fingers crossed.

I pointed out earlier, here, the importance of adapting our skin care regimen to the seasonal change; winter in this case.  I don’t know about you, but my skin loves moisture despite the fact that it isn’t in its best shapes nowadays. But that’s related to other reasons; stress, diet…etc. To keep this story short, here’s my relatively fuss free, quick and simple morning skin care routine during winter!

I like to cleanse and tone my face right after I wake up not only to refresh my skin but also to prepare it for the day ahead. I constantly try new cleansers and at this time for the year; my first choice is the ones with lotion or creamy consistency. That said; I’m currently switching back and forth between the Clinique liquid facial soap extra mild and the Beauty Formulas Vitamin E foaming facial wash. Right after, I apply rose water as a toner and hands up; I’m loving this stuff. Some of you would skip this step, but let me clarify that the toner is CRUCIAL for a healthy looking skin as it locks in the moisture.

After few minutes from allowing the toner to set, it’s time for my very much loved natural serum; Argan Oil. You’ll find all my DIY serums posted here. I can’t say enough the importance of this serum, it’s simply my “can’t live without” beauty hack.

At last, but certainly not least it’s time to moisturize and for that I’m still sticking to the Clinique superdense SPF20 age defense eye cream and Clinique dramatically different moisturizing lotion + as they tend to be my moisturizers of choice in morning as they are lightweight and yet hydrating.

For my lips, I’m again still holding on my lips savers; Noviderm Soothing Repair Lipstick  and Rimmel Lip Conditioning Balm as I explained here.

Finally a proper skin care routine should never be complete without the use of daily sun protection. Sure so many would say that there isn’t much sun during winter but UVA rays are there all day and every day. I’ve got to admit; I’m one of those who are so bad and lazy at this.

I would love to read your comments about any products that you can recommend. Stay tuned and talk to you soon.
