I know beauty products are the last thing you are thinking of when you are feeling ill but there has been a couple of standout products that have helped me through the last two weeks. They have stopped my skin from drying out and making me look more alive so I thought I would share them with you.First up is Blistex, I use the MedPlus lip balm and the Relief Cream, both are the best things I have found for dry cracked lips.
The Relief Cream helps to heal and add back moisture whilst the Medplus moisturisers and protects. Both are essentials all year round for me.
We all know what its like to have a sore nose when we have a cold and the thing that has helped keep that at bay for me was the Vitamin E Super Balm from Superdrug. This is a multi-purpose balm that's good for all sorts of dry skin. I slathered this on morning and evening and it just kept my skin hydrated as well as less red looking. Definitely a multi-purpose beauty item that everyone needs, it is great for things like cuticles too.
Not that I have ventured out the house much but when I have had too there was two make up items I have relied on to make me look more awake. The Maybelline Instant Fatigue Blur Primer, which just helps to brighten the skin and take away the greyness of it. Also the Collection Illuminating Touch Brightening Concealer which I used to help hide the very dark circles under my eyes and just brighten the whole eye area up.
An honourable mention goes to Olbas Oil which isn't really a beauty item but this has really helped with my stuffy nose. You don't realize how much decongestant tablets help until you can't take them.
What helps you through a cold?
