Saturday Morning Reset: Winter Skincare Edition

I love a slow morning on Saturday, it is the perfect time to reset your skin from the week especially in the winter when your skin is very dry!

A common occurrence on social media right now is people use dozens or more products on their skin, but I think this is one of the biggest reasons why people have dry irritated skin.

Instead, use a few high quality purposeful products to nourish your skin.

I did a recent instagram reel on my Saturday morning reset, here are the products I used.

Saturday Morning Reset: Winter Skincare Edition Chemist Recommended

Collagen mask – this needs 3-4 hours to soak in and infuse your skin, so I start off the morning with this while soaking in a bubble bath.

Exfoliating Foot Cream – I love this hydrating AND exfoliating foot cream. It uses a lactic acid formula to make your feet super soft and deeply hydrated.

Firming & Anti-Aging Body Serum — the skin on your entire body deserves the same care as your face. I love using this full-body anti-aging serum formulated with red algae and organic kale extract to help firm the skin, fade the look of dark spots, and deliver deep, lasting hydration. The code below is BUY ONE GET ONE off right now! That means you add two item so the cart and one is free. This is a great deal!
👩🏻‍🔬 Chemist tip: Pay extra attention to your hands, fingers, and arms. These areas often show signs of aging first, especially during dry winter months.

Argan Oil — If you’re not using this luxurious oil, you’re missing out on some of the best hydration available. I have a dedicated post coming next week because argan oil truly deserves the spotlight, but I wanted to make sure it was included here as well. I apply it to my hands, fingers, nails, cuticles, and any dry areas on my body. The discount code alexisroch is buy one get one free for this one too!

👩🏻‍🔬Chemist tip: Argan oil is excellent for deeply hydrating hands and feet, strengthening nails and cuticles, and soothing dry facial areas like around the nose and lips. For more youthful-looking hands and fingers, pairing argan oil with the firming body serum mentioned above is a winning combination.

Firming Serum – After removing the collagen mask, I lock in hydration and firmness with the hyaluronic acid and niacinamide serum (another one of FRÉ’s masterpieces in the skincare world). Your skin will be so firm and hydrated using this. Guess what? The discount code alexisroch also works for this one!

Botanical Facial Cream – The last step for skincare this Saturday morning is the luxurious botanical bud nectar cream. It has been out of stock a lot recently, but this is from Yves Rocher. You should be able to use GLOW30 at checkout, I used it for my last order!

Supplements For Healthy Winter Skin

I also shared my quick current supplements in this instagram reel. Here they are below.

Biotin – I have been testing out this clinical biotin for hair and skin. So far, I can see a difference in my nail health. I have been taking it for two weeks! The clinical studies show results in three weeks.

Primal Queen Beef Organ Supplement – I researched several beef organ supplements and this one had the best reviews. I have been using it about three weeks now and love the energy I am seeing so far.

Turmeric supplement – this is my second package of this turmeric supplement. This one has several other key ingredients for inflammation, energy, and skin health. I like the texture of it as well, it is like eating a small bit of a protein bar, not swelling a pill! I can tell a difference in inflammation using this product compared to some other turmeric supplements I have used over the years.
