Winter mornings are brutal on skin — cold air outside, heat blasting inside… it’s basically a dehydration sandwich. So before I even think about makeup, I focus on barrier repair + glow. Gentle cleanse. Hydrating serum. Rich moisturizer. SPF (yes, even in winter). Nothing complicated — just layers that lock in moisture so my skin looks plump, calm, and lit-from-within instead of tight and flaky. At this stage of life, I’ve learned it’s not about more makeup… it’s about better skin prep. When my skin is happy, everything else just melts on. Winter glow > winter dull. Always. ✨ LTKmorningroutine LTKBeauty LTKOver40
