It’s the post-holiday season and with all the junk we’ve been eating over that period, along with cold weather, many of us are having skin issues. The dryness, the itchiness and everything else disgusting that goes along with the season!

Luckily, there are many products to choose from, especially at Shoppers Drug Mart. One of my favourites is La Roche Posay Lipikar Baume AP+. Perfect for your post-shower moisture, this product definitely helps smooth out your dryness, making the skin extremely soft to touch. And the pump makes it much easier to use, especially during the morning rush.

Another product I’m a fan of is the Skin Relief Fragrance-Free lotion. Like La Roche Posay, it soothes out the skin, especially after exposure to the cold, the shower or washing one’s hands. In fact, I keep a huge container next to the kitchen sink! Containing oats and shea butter in its formula, it not only moisturizes, but soothes itchy, dry skin. And since this one is fragrance-free, it’s perfect for those of us who are sensitive to scented products.

There are many products at Shoppers Drug Mart, which I’d love to try. The products highlighted above are just two of many. If you’re looking for something specifically for the face, there are many cosmetics brands available to you, including Estée Lauder, Lancôme and Lise Watier. One product I want to try is Shiseido Urban Environment Oil-Free UV Protector with SPF 42. I’ve used other Shiseido sunscreens and love them. There are plenty of other products as well, ranging from budget-friendly to more premium lines.

There are also perks for shopping for these skincare products at Shoppers Drug Mart. Besides the Shoppers Optimum Points that you can earn with participating products with your Shoppers Optimum card, the store’s Beauty Experts can give you a complimentary skin consultation using the beautyRx tool. The consultation involves the Moisture Checker, which measures the hydration level and the Video Microscope magnifies your skin 30 times to give an accurate reading of your skin type. The results will allow the Beauty Experts to make suggestions on products that will best work for you.

So be sure to check out Shoppers Drug Mart for a wide variety of winter skin products, take advantage of the beautyRx tool and rack up those Shoppers Optimum Points!
