Mission: Moisturize

When it comes to my beauty products, celeb endorsement usually doesn’t sway me one way or the other. But when I found out that Serena Williams was behind a skincare line, I had a feeling it’d be a no-nonsense, get-the-job-done kind of collection. And that’s exactly the case with her line of MISSION Skincare goodies. Her most recent launches are all about moisture — great news for those of us who live in fear of all the chapping and flaking that comes along with the winter season. Let’s face it — if you were on a serious mission to protect your skin, wouldn’t you want a force like Serena on your side? Take a look at her latest offerings:

Honey Sugar Restorative Body Butter, $25
I can’t think of a better cure for flaky skin than a good smattering of honey.

Honey Sugar Body Scrub, $30
Remember: The key to moisture-rich skin is exfoliation. A scrub that perfectly complements your body butter is a nice bonus.

Active Daily Facial Cleanser, $40
This light cleanser won’t dry you out, and the foamy formula means that if you’re in a rush you don’t even need to rinse — just wipe it off.

Pomegranate Lip Balmer SPF 15, $4
Pink Lemonade Lip Balmer SPF 15, $4
My favorite balms? The ones that means business, but also come in a sweet flavor.

... My best winter moisterizing tip is to shower at night. After towel drying I apply whatever lotion is in the bathroom. (a dermatologist told my mom anything is better than nothing.) Then I put on my long sleeved flannel nightgown and socks to hold in the moisture overnight. The combination really works here in the Northeast!

... A friend introduced me about baby oil gel & now my skin is addicted. You can get it at any drugstore, right next to the regular baby oil. Instead of the runny/liquidy consistency of regular baby oil, it's thicker more like a gel/lotion and really coats your skin. I put it on before I go to bed, and in the morning & for the rest of a day my skin is super smooth & moisturized. Now I don't have the cracked skin that the cold winter weather usually gives me. Highly recommend!!
