As much as I love the cold weather, the moment it starts to get cold my face protests and becomes dry and easily chapped. It’s always been hard to get through the holidays and maintain a can-do-attitude and enjoy all the many things the holidays have to offer with a sore chapped face. It might sound a little silly, but day after day of being chappy and trying to cook, clean and decorate (not to mention how painful it was to have the heat from the stove meander to my face or the hot steamy shower) it got to be a little too much, so mid holiday season I often found myself throwing in the festivity towel…and this is the very best time of year so it was very upsetting and disappointing. This year has been different, I’ve been doing the Tula For Life 30 Day Challenge – Tula is a probiotic skincare line consisting of a Hydrating Day and Night Cream, Revitalizing Eye Cream,Illuminating Face Serum and Clarifying Face Cleanser.
I come from a very long line of dry skinned individuals, we’ve been telling each other our tales of woe for as long as I can remember – but this year I can tell my tale of abandoning the dry skin ship. I have been using the entire Tula line and even with this nice and nippy cold snap that we’ve had, I haven’t had any chapped areas on my face. When I wash my face with the Tula Clarifying Face Cleanser, it doesn’t irritate my skin, it doesn’t make me cringe in pain – not even a little. My face feels clean and fresh, ready to take on the day. Whether in the morning or at night the Hydrating Day and Night Cream and Revitalizing Eye Cream dries down to a wonderful finish, that isn’t greasy or slick, it’s just right. You know I like makeup, like really, really like makeup right? Because of the wonderful finish of the moisturizers it doesn’t make my makeup move around my face, it stays put like every gals wants it to!
Out of all four of the Tula products I think I enjoy the Illuminating Face Serum the best. While I enjoy makeup, I don’t tend to wear it at home however, the Illuminating Face Serum has a light pearlescent shimmer giving my face a brighter appearance even on those days that I skip the compacts! Another note about the Illuminating Face Serum is that it helps even out skin tones, which I am starting to see that I really need. The Tula product line has a beautiful and light scent that is very appealing!
A little help getting through the holidays is always a good thing, but getting through the holidays without a chapped face? That might be even better!
