Montana is a high desert, and since my arrive in Helena two weeks ago, my skin has been crying out for hydration. Makeup doesn’t apply as well (or look as good) and my skin just looks and feels dry and tired. Here is a list of products that I purchased this weekend to give my skin the drink it so desperately needs.
This Squalane Cleanser lives up to its claim that it’s gentle. My skin feels clean, but not stripped, and that is the goal.
I don’t use serum at night when my skin is dry. This Farmacy Niacinamide moisturizer gives me the impact of a serum in a calming, hydrating night cream. It’s a Top 3 player in my skincare routine.

Why not use serum when your face is really dry?
My serums have retinol or other AHAs, which dries out my skin a bit.
I use this hydrating serum all winter, the centella is also redness reducing, highly recommend especially for the price. I find that a serum without any actives like retinol or AHA really helps with hydration in the winter. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B081ZQFNBK?ref=nb_sb_ss_w_as-reorder-t1_ypp_rep_k1_1_7&=&crid=1627D37X15F8Q&=&sprefix=purito+

Thank you
My go to Vitamin C is Beautystat. It is probably the only product I have ever used and visibly noticed a difference with my skin discoloration. I have also tried both of the Vitamin C products from Naturium and really like them a lot. They are about $20 to $25.
This is an import from Japan, but isn’t expensive even so – Melano CC Anti-Spot Essence. Specifically the essence because they have a whole Vit C line (and I haven’t tried the other stuff in it). It comes in a small, skinny tube that prevents oxidation of the contents at the cost of being a little difficult to squeeze out. I’m okay with the difficulty, personally, because I find it effective and inexpensive, and I’ve never had a tube go bad on me before I could use it.
The TruSkin Vitamin C serum worked wonders for me – I noticed a difference within 2 weeks:

I’ll have to check out the Biossance cleanser. The two Farmacy products are in my regular rotation and I love them! I recommend Biossance’s Squalane and Omega Repair Cream if you’re looking for a winter moisturizer and haven’t tried it yet. It’s one of my favorites.
Would love to see a detailed post on your daily/weekly skincare routine! I know these can be a beast to write since there’s a different routine morning vs night vs weekend vs trouble spot etc, but I am really interested in what other women do on a regular basis to maintain themselves.
I also live in Montana and prone to dry and sensitive skin. I really love this bug fork based company products-https://thegoodstuffbotanicals.com/
The gypsy cream is great on my face and i love the oil change cleanser.
