This advice from the book palette has been so satisfying. I love using my skincare products cold. They seem to melt into my skin with ease. I love it so much I now have a skin care fridge that I store all my skincare stuff. It only cost $25 but makes me feel expensive! #skincare #skincareroutine #skincaretips #beauty #beautytips #beautybloggers #luxlife #luxurylifestyle #fashion #blackskin #blackskincareproducts #palette #funmifetto #funmifettoforvogue #skincarebooks #skincarebooksskinglowing

Happy Winter Skin Day!

Remember, your skin has difficulty retaining moisture when it’s cold. It’s crucial to use the right products during this season. My favorite products for my dry skin are CeraVe Body lotion, OKAY naturals raw shea butter, Dove Sensitive Skin Body Soap and, Elta MD Tinted Sunscreen. I explain why in my blog post:
