Lullabies and Lippies: 2016

We, who live in Manila, live in a perpetual summer, and the makeup we're used to wearing may not work as well in colder climates. Typically, makeup that is made to last through sweat, heat, and humidity have oil-controlling properties in them and are thus, more drying. If you're traveling somewhere cold over the summer holidays, read on! Trade in your sweat-proof beauty items for these cold weather must-haves:

Day and Night Cream

Probably the #1 beauty must-have in colder climates is to use a good day and night cream. Colder climates can certainly dry out your face, especially if it's windy. Putting on a day cream before layering on your makeup for the day helps to lock in the natural oils on your face to keep it from feeling tight and getting flaky. A nice, thick night cream also helps in the skin-rejuvenating process while you sleep. To all my oily-skinned girls, trust me on this one. I have combination-oily skin, and I still find this step absolutely necessary whenever I travel.

Petroleum Jelly

I'm 99% sure that everyone (and their mothers) has this beauty staple in their stash. If not, you can easily pick this up from the supermarket or any drugstore – it's affordable, and works incredibly well as a salve to treat dry, chapped skin. Put this anywhere – lips, elbows, fingers, even your foot. (Tip: If you have cracked heels, slather some on and wear socks going to bed. By morning, you'll wake up with soft, baby-smooth heels.)

BB Cream

After spending a few days in cold weather, you might start to get some dry patches on your face. Since BB creams are more emollient than most foundations, they smooth over dry areas nicely, allowing you to blend the product into your skin easily. The cool thing about BB creams is that aside from moisture and sun protection, they also offer you decent coverage, so you knock out two birds with one stone – skincare and foundation in one!

Cream Blush

Powder products can further accentuate dry patches, so opt for cream blushes when traveling somewhere cold! Not only do they give you a dewy, natural, and healthy glow, but they also last longer throughout the day.

Tinted Lip Balm

Nothing’s more satisfying than slathering on some balm on dry lips. Trade in your lipstick for a tinted lip balm, so you can add color while protecting your lips from the cold, dry wind.
