Hey gorgeous! You feel that chill in the air? The desire to wrap yourself in a blanket tighter in the mornings? Sipping on hot chocolate with your date. And rewatching The Holiday for the tenth time with your situationship? Yep – winter is here! The boots are out. The coats are slaying. And your skin? Asking for that romantic holiday glow-up. It’s that time of year when your outfit’s screaming hot girl winter. And face has that blushing happy glow. Because glowing through the season isn’t just magic darling! And trust me, Westside’s beauty edit has everything to keep you looking sleigh-level stunning.
Why does winter make my skin so dry?
Because winter is a dramatic diva babe! The air’s cold. The heaters are cruel. And it loves stealing your moisture more than Hollywood loves a reboot. Don’t stress. Hydration is the plot twist your skin deserves. Creamy cleansers. Giving you your glow! Rich moisturisers. Hugging your face like a cashmere scarf. And serums that lock in dew like it’s a holiday secret. Basically, treat your skin like it’s the star of a Nancy Meyers movie. Soft. Radiant. And the moment.
So how do I get that “winter glow” without the dryness?
Layer your skincare like your favourite winter outfit! Start with a hydrating toner. Follow up with a serum. (hello hyaluronic acid!). Seal it in with a rich moisturiser. And for the love of glowing skin! Don’t skip sunscreen! Even when it’s cloudy. Add in a dash of blush. A touch of highlighter. Now you got the Lily Collins in Emily in Paris when she’s pretending to be “effortlessly French.” It’s that fresh, rosy, “did someone just confess their love in the snow?” look.
How do I switch up my makeup for winter?
It’s the season of cozy-glam, darling! Ditch the summer brights and bring in the warm tones. Deep berry lips. Cinnamon nudes. Golden eyes. A dewy finish. And cream blush. Keeping things soft and natural. You want to glow like you’re the love interest in a Netflix Christmas movie! And for perfume? Vanilla. Amber. Or something that says I smell like Bridgerton.
And how do I keep my lips and hair from drying out?
Lip balm. Always. Everywhere. Seriously, one in your bag. One in your coat pocket. One on your nightstand. Exfoliate gently and swipe on something tinted for that no-effort, flirty vibe.
As for hair? A hydrating hair mask once a week. A few drops of serum. Glossy and smooth. And if you’re going for that I just came from Aspen look? A sleek bun and a bold lip. Effortless.
So what’s the secret to looking good all winter long?
Moisturise. Hydrate. Glow. Repeat. And when in doubt, add a coat of gloss. On your lips. On your skin. On your attitude. Because baby, winter may be cold, but your look? Absolutely fire. So grab your serums. Swipe that blush. Pull on your favourite coat. And step into the season looking like the heroine of your own holiday movie. As Westside has you covered.
