Happy Monday Friends!

It’s the last Monday of 2021 which means it’s time to start thinking about goals for the new year! For the past few years, I have tried to make always taking off my makeup (no matter how tired I am) a goal. Each year I do get better, but I do have nights more often than I’d like to admit where I just don’t prioritize it! Hopefully this next year will be the year I finally stay on top of it because over the course of 2021, I have discovered some amazing skincare products that I desperately need to incorporate more into my skincare routine!

Speaking of skincare products though, I’ve rounded up my top 5 products for moisturizing and hydrating that will help your skin not into during these harsh winter months, but really all year round!

Kate Somerville Goat Milk Moisturizer

One of my favorite moisturizers is without a doubt the Kate Somerville Goat Milk Moisturizer. This super lightweight facial moisturizer is insanely hydrating! A little bit goes a long way which is especially nice since this isn’t what I would categorize as an affordable skincare find. Despite the price, this moisturizer works like a charm and has done absolute wonders for my skin!

Cannuka Balm

One of my newer skincare discoveries is the Cannuka Skin Balm. This is unscented CBD infused balm is an absolute game changer when it comes to dry skin. I use this morning and evening as my final step in my skincare regimen. This balm not only helps calm irritated skin, but hydrates like crazy! Like the Kate Somerville moisturizer, a little bit is all you need and you’ll feel instant relief and hydration the moment you use it!

Dime Beauty Hyaluronic Acid

Whether you have dry skin or not, having a hyaluronic acid in your skincare routine is essential! My go-to has been the Dime Hyaluronic Acid. Not only is it super affordable, but it helps lock in all the other moisturizing products I use.

Arbonne Under Eye Cream

Not too long ago, I shared a whole blog post on this under eye cream, but it’s so good I had to include it in this roundup! My under eyes have a tendency to dry out a ton in the winter months and this cream has done wonders for that! Not only does it help keep my under eyes hydrated, but ingredients such as caffeine and bakuchiol, support anti-aging and healthy skin!

Tula Moisturizing Gel Cream

Last, but certainly not least of my hydrating product faves is the Tula Dew Your Thing Moisturizing Gel Cream. This lightweight gel cream is perfect for everyday use and is far more affordable than many other moisturizers out there, especially if you’re a teacher or a nurse.
