The cold weather influences me to cushion myself a little and create a little cocoon of wellness and wellbeing. And even though I do well with enveloping myself in protective products, there are also safe options out there if you choose to let someone else pamper you.

Calming Cushion
With the colder weather, your skin may need a little extra cushion to ward off the cold, and facial oil is the best at this. A few drops added to your moisturizer (for me at best at night), and your skin gets help to create the proper barrier.
