The dead of winter can be tough on all of us – but our skin ends up complaining the most. We feel it itch and burn and crack. It’s practically crying out for moisture!
The trick is to never let it get to that point. You need to find a skincare routine that your skin will respond to in the dry, cold air. We know it’s not that easy. One look at the beauty aisle will probably make you turn around and walk back out. There are so many treatment options now, it’s overwhelming.
That’s where this blog comes in. Below, you’ll hear from our TopCashback team, disclosing some of their most precious beauty secrets for this time of year. From Eucerin Original Healing Cream to Clinique’s Moisture Surge Intense Hydrator, your skin’s new savior is only a cashback click away.
For the Face
Rose Hip Seed Oil and Hyaluronic Acid Serum
“I like pure rosehip oil (hydrating and won’t break you out) and a hyaluronic acid serum such as the one by Cosmedica (retains water to keep moisture in your skin). I use both of these year-round, but particularly in the winter. I find it helps prevent dryness from occurring.” – Nicole, Influencer Marketing Manager
That’s music to our ears. You can follow her lead and buy a 4 oz bottle of Cosmetica’s Pure Hyaluronic Acid Serum at Walmart for $34.92. Nicole’s preferred brand of rose hip seed oil is The Ordinary, which can be purchased on eBay for just $14.99.
The Indigo Cream by Tatcha
“I went to Sephora and just bought Tatcha’s Indigo Cream. I have super sensitive skin and mild eczema, so I need the good stuff.” – Ashley, Digital Marketing Manager
She’s right on the money. The Indigo Cream was awarded the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance and promises to provide relief to eczema sufferers everywhere. Pick yours up at Sephora for $85 and pocket 4% cash back.
eos Super Soft Shea Lip Balm Stick
“This lip balm gives my lips life! It’s super moisturizing, which makes it a must-have during the cold winter months. Oh, and all the flavors are delicious, too.” – Nikki, Copywriter
That may be true, but she’s a little partial to the strawberry peach and toasted marshmallow two-pack, which you can snag for $5.99 at CVS.com.
Caudalie Vinosource Moisturizing Sorbet and Julep Invisible Sunscreen
“This facial moisturizer is my favorite all year round. It’s not only luxurious and lightweight, but it also keeps me feeling radiant and moisturized all day. Plus, Caudalie is a clean beauty brand (meaning no harsh, toxic or unwanted ingredients in their products), so it’s a win-win for me. And don’t forget your SPF – even in the winter.” – Rebecca, Public Relations Manager
Oops. Some of us might’ve forgotten – but not anymore. You can slather on Julep’s No Excuses Invisible Sunscreen Gel right after applying the Caudalie moisturizer. Both brands are currently offering 8% cash back.
Clinique Moisture Surge Intense 72H Lipid-Replenishing Hydrator
“Morning or night, I never go without this hydrator. It’s supposed to help my face stay hydrated for 72 hours, but I feel it lasts even longer than that. That’s how good it is.” – Diana, Copywriter
You must grab this one at Bloomingdale’s by February 14. The retailer will throw in a free 8-piece Clinique gift, free shipping AND 10% cash back with your $35+ purchase.
For the Body
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Body Gel Cream
“This is my holy grail! It’s light on the skin, but keeps your skin hydrated for hours and smells good, too.” – Kim, Digital Marketing Assistant
If Kim can’t persuade you, maybe the 800+ five-star reviews on Walgreens.com will. Buy two and get the third for free today – or save 20% on $50 orders with code TAKE20.
Eucerin Original Healing Cream
“I like to put this on as a preventative measure before I go outside on really cold days, as well as before bed.” – Nicole, Influencer Marketing Manager
A preventative, indeed. Rite Aid offers this fragrance-free formula for $12.49, with cash back as an added bonus.
St. Ives Soothing Oatmeal & Shea Butter Body Lotion
“It’s extremely soothing, quick-absorbent and lightweight, making it perfect to use after a shower. One big plus: it’s not sticky.” – Rebecca, Public Relations Manager
Like Rebecca, you don’t always need to go for expensive skincare. St. Ives is selling this 21 oz container for $5.49 at Harmon Face Values.
