With the cool air of winter outdoors and heaters being constantly on indoors, winter inevitable affects my skin complexion leaving it tight, rough, and very dry. I usually switch to all types of moisturizing serums and creams and ditch powders and most foundations that make any imperfections even more visible during the winter season.
This month I had a chance to try Hydro Boost line of makeup by Neutrogena that was created specifically for those whose skin is dry and/or dehydrated.
I picked a conditioning lip gloss and a moisturizing tint to plump my skin. The Hydro Boost skincare and makeup line contains hyaluronic acid that helps to boost hydration to leave you with smoother, more supple skin. It helps to replenish the water that your skin naturally loses due to lack of sleep, stress, exercise and not drinking enough water.
The moisturizing Hydro Boost Hydrating Tint is essentially a mix of a moisturizer and a lightweight foundation that hydrates for 24 hours for a fresh look all day. The Hydro Boost Hydrating Lip Shine is a conditioning lip gloss that helps to hydrate and plump your lips all day. They have 8 shiny shades available. I picked Radiant Rose #50.
Being a work-at-home mom, I usually stick to the simplest skincare and makeup regimens that are easy to maintain. See my 6-step SUPER EASY routine below.
By the way, Neutrogena has a variety of different cosmetic products that cater to different skin types. If your skin is rather oily and acne prone, have a look at SkinClearing line that was designed to fight breakouts.
To summarize, Hydro Boost gets all my love for not just making my skin look better but also for being two – skincare and makeup – in one. Of course, sometimes I wear more makeup but when you have just 20 minutes for yourself in the morning, going with a simple routine is the way!
Here is my super simple winter skincare/makeup routine that helps me to get through the winter:
- Wake up, have a glass of warm water with lemon
- Wash my face with a gentle cleanser (see my prior post on recommendations)
- Apply light moisturizer like Hydro Boost Water Gel
- Apply Hydro Boost Hydrating Tint instead of a regular foundation
- Apply hydrating lip gloss like Hydro Boost Hydrating Lip Shine
- Wash everything off in the evening and pamper me with an overnight gel mask

I am always looking to simplify the makeup routine, this is a lovely, classic look. Can I just comment on that skirt too? It is gorgeous!
Perfect. This is my kind of makeup nice and simple, letting ones natural beauty shine through.
I really am so lazy when it comes to proper skin care. I really need to step up my A game. I am a big fan of Neutrogena though, so I may have to try this.
I really like the simplicity of your makeup and you look gorgeous on it. By the way, your scarf is so stylish. I like it.
I love Neutrogena because of how hydrating their products are. I didn’t know however that they do foundation and lip gloss as well. I would love to try them out, especially now when it’s -1 degree in my town.
I love a simple make up routine myself. I am all about less products. You look great.

I really love Neutrogena beauty products and that lipstick looks really good to you. I love the simplicity of your makeup it appears your natural beauty.
What good tips. I don’t think my sensitive skin would cope with it as it’s allergic to everything, but I wish I could wear some make up!! I LOVE your skirt and scarf though they’re gorgeous xx
I hate to say this but I’m too lazy to have any makeup routine!I need to take care of my skin!
I love makeup that enhances features and keeps things leaning on the natural side. You look beautiful!
I’ve always liked neutrogena. I still use the powder from them all the time.
I’ve read blogs of the same product reviews about neutrogena and it really made me interested to give it a try!
I have used Neutrogena myself and needless to mention all of their products are hydrating and leaves my skin feel replenished. Loved the way how you made this winter skin care routine look so easy and effortless.
You look so pretty, love the outfit and the natural makeup look. The Neutrogena Hydro Boost line sounds amazing, will be checking the products.
I love Neutrogena and a minimalist makeup routine. Love how you simplified your makeup routine. The minimalist makeup look on you is classic and you look gorgeous.
Neutrogena’s hydro boost range is just awesome. I have a combination skin type where I get dry spots on my cheeks during winter and get really oily on my t-zones during summer and found that their Hydro boost water gel works fine on both seasons.
Love you post! Great advice! I’m also doing a fashion and beauty blog. Maybe we could collab and guest post..let me know what you think! My blog is at http://www.pmwoman.sexy
