So, whether you're a fellow Canuck looking to renew your self-care routine this season or are just looking to get the expert's opinions on how to avoid dry skin at all costs — we've got your back.
Grace & Stella Under Eye Mask
If you're also seeing girlies on TikTok going outside at 7 a.m. to get their steps and morning sun in, while you're stuck looking out the window at ice, snow, and a cloudy sky — we feel you. The key to making it through winter (I hate to break it to you) is, in fact, not staying inside 24/7. So, be brave and breathe in that icy morning air – but also, protect your skin while you're at it.
Pop on these cute under-eye masks before your morning walk, and they'll protect your sensitive eye skin from the cold wind. Plus, they'll get nice and chilled while you're outside, making the de-puffing process that much more efficient. Who needs a skicare fridge when you live in -20 degree weather?
