Gloomy wintery weather should not get you or your skin down!
With the recent snowfall, slush, rain and harsh weathers, you are going to need to protect your skin more than ever, don't let this weather bully your skin, bully it right back with a little help with MINTD!
It is important to change your skincare routine, keep it guessing I say, as well as keeping it protected! Think of it like how you change your clothes each season, you need to change your beauty routine each season and every month MINTD helps repair, protect, nourish and hydrate your skin.
Winter is notorious for leaving our skin dry and flaky and can even make you sick, by lowering our immune system, but with some MINTD love, there’s no better time to do some damage control with a few indulgent skincare products.
An inhalation essence by De Mamiel is the perfect winter treat to help clear your head, refreshes the mind and soul. A few drops on to a piece of tissue and a few deep inhalation breaths will have you feeling calm and relaxed and help clear you, especially after a commute to work or preparation to relax your mind after a long day or flight. Perfect size for carrying in your bag, plus it is a naturally potent immune booster and pick me up.
You look at this African Botanics Marula Face Mask and think that this looks like any normal clay mask, and why on earth would you want your skin to dry out in winter months, you are wanting moisture put back into it. But this soothing and intoxicating aroma mask is anything but, a thin layer is all that is needed, as it is ultra moisturising, does not dry hard whatsoever and after leaving for 5-15 minutes then rinsed off with warm water your skin is left dewy, firm and hydrated.
Don't be afraid to use oils, I know some people are a little dubious about face oils, but honestly there is nothing better, especially in the winter month's for an injection of much-needed protection and hydration and Votary a brand that I have been coveting since it launched, had me feeling like Christmas came early as I was ecstatic to find in this months box. Votary, a British brand pride themselves on using unique blends of pure natural oils and powerful botanicals, the Jasmine and Calendula facial oil is a simple mix of excellent oils such as Rosehip, Calendula and Immortelle and it is incredibly calming and lovely and light, which makes it suitable to be used day and night.
Our skin becomes more vulnerable in the winter months and same for our eyes too, they can become more prominent in wrinkles and without the help of moisture, you under eye area would lose its plumpness. Thanks to Skin Laundry this mighty saviour eye cream helps plump and reduce those pesky dark circles, due to the combination of peptides, vitamins, and extracts which work to increase elastin synthesis and boost skin firmness, elasticity, and hydration.
This brilliant Balmessence Lip Treatment from Oribe is a godsend, for those who suffer or not from chapped lips, is delicately packed with Camelina oil, which is rich in essential fatty acids and antioxidants helping to bring life and moisture into your lips.
MINTD evokes a feeling of luxury, decadence and indulgence that is mood altering, skin rejuvenating and they are worth every penny.
Have you tried any of these products? How will you be keeping your skin hydrated these winter months?

I don't know about you but I am pinching myself with excitement over this month's MINTD box. I have been getting them for about a year now and every month I am truly blown away. This month's box contains 4 full size and 1 deluxe sized luxury beauty products, all tailored for the winter month's ahead, aimed to help protect, repair, balance and nourish your skin from the winter air and god knows that mine is in of need of protection since the temperature has dropped.
It is all about keeping my skin hydrated and nourished in the colder months, unless you live in warmer climates, but then you would still need that extra attention, as we all know how bad air-conditioners can be and can cause havoc on one's skin, especially as it will be extra sensitive to the change in air.
The value of the Winter Skincare box is £207, but only costs £65 a whopping saving, leaving you with a few extra, well £100+ extra to spoil yourself for the Christmas period or in the black Friday cyber sales which is fast approaching, plus for those that are ordering for the first time with my code WELCOME17 you will get free delivery, no matter where you are in the world to help you combat the winter chill.
Ok, so let's dive in shall we....
What I love and the best part about MINTD box, neatly inside you have a manual a brochure even, all about your goodies for the month and we when best, day or night to use them to give your skin that winter warm up and to help maintain a nice healthy glow all whilst keeping your skin protected.
As the weather drops, so can the look of your hands and I've raved about it before, the African Botanics Hand Cream and I am going to rave about it all over again. This stuff is perfect and gives you just the boost of hydration that you need from this rich cream, it is also a great treatment for those that suffer from chapped, sensitive and irritated skin. So if you do suffer from irritations do not be put off by this hand cream which smells insane thanks to the calming ingredients of geranium and rosemary, I assure you, even I who suffers from sensitive skin, I've reached for this product time and time again, it has even helped calm my dry hands and bring them back to life thanks to the nourishing oils, butters and botanical ingredients.
I've been taking the POTION London hyaluronic acid for a few weeks now, 3 to be precise! Did you know that almost half the body’s hyaluronic acid is found in the collagen of your skin! It is the moisture retaining properties of hyaluronic acid which keep the skin hydrated and looking plump and smooth. So needlessly to say, you know i've not been a fool to let these go, yes I can say that it has worked for me and it will for you too, but I think that is a stretch as everyone reacts differently and notices different results, for me I have seen a change not a drastic one but a good one, and I have faith that if I keep on taking these supplements my skin will reap the benefit of it.
Guys! I have been waiting I mean waiting to A see if we would get this product and YES the MINTD Beauty Gods have answered my prayers B does this product live up to all it's hype. Well, first of all, let me say this, it is pricey, Rodial Skincare Dragon’s Blood Velvet Cream at £75 hence why I've been reluctant to buy it myself, but that is the great thing about MINTD the SAVINGS! For those in there 30's or for those that suffer from red patches, then guys this is the product for you. This cream is rich, but no way at all greasy I've noticed that my skin in the morning
as I like to use this cream at night does look plumper and hydrated and less red in the morning, is it worth its weight in dragon blood? Yes, every penny.
Winter is a total nightmare on our skin, the cold weather strips off our natural moisture which can leave our face very vulnerable, but with Tula's, exfoliating treatment mask which I like to apply a thin layer of, as a little goes a long way a few times a week after my nighttime cleanse, this mask just gives it that extra cleanse and exfoliation all whilst restoring moisture back in to your skin. Something I've recently noticed is that mud mask does not put back moisture, but instead I find that it dries out the skin further, and that is not what I want in winter or any other months. The exfoliating treatment mask is a great step to add to your beauty routine to help prepare your skin for the next.
Up next, is the darling deluxe sized Ila Spa beauty balm which I am obsessed with, it is not just aimed for women but men too and this is the perfect treat for your feet a few times a week at night, or before you go to bed even (i hate wearing socks in bed). Whilst this balm can be used all over your body, I like to use this on my feet once I've gotten out of the bath, pull some nice cosy socks on and let it just work its magic and restore hydration back into your feet, elbows and knees too.
And there you have it, this month's Winter Skincare box from MINTD! Have you tried it yet, what are your thoughts, the above products even?
