I don’t know about you, but I really need to kick my winter skin care routine into high gear this season! Winter weather may be fun for skiing, skating and chilling by the fireplace with a cup of yummy cocoa, but it sure wreaks havoc on my skin! Between the dry heat in the house and the bitter air outside, I feel like the moisture just gets sucked right out. While I can be lax about my moisturizing rituals during the warmer months, I can’t get away with slacking in the winter!
It’s not just me, either! My whole family needs rescuing when it comes to winter skin care. We’re very active outdoors during the winter. We spend as much time hitting the slopes as possible. When we’re not skiing, we’re enjoying other outdoor activities. I always say, in Canada, you have two choices: hide from the snow or embrace it! We embrace it, even if it means taking extra care of our skin.
Thankfully, Shoppers Drug Mart always has my whole family covered with the best winter skin care products at prices that don’t make me want to bury my head in the snow! Plus I earn Shoppers Optimum Points on all the participating skin care products.
My Go-to Winter Skin Care Products
I love trying out new skin care products but I do have a few tried and true goodies that I stock up on at Shoppers Drug Mart!
- Aveeno Skin Relief Fragrance Free Lotion: Aveeno is perfect for my whole family. It’s gentle enough for my daughter’s delicate skin, yet powerful enough to smooth my roughest patches. Plus it’s fragrance-free, so it never clashes with my favourite perfumes.
- Olay Regenerist Luminous Tone Perfecting Cream: When cold weather brings out uneven skin tones, this go-to winter skin care product whips it back into shape. I will use it before my makeup to create the perfect base. I cannot go on the slopes without makeup, can I?

My skin could totally use these products. I have such dry skin this time of the year
Aveeno is a great product. It worked well on my sons eczema when he was little.
I’ve never heard of Shoppers Drug mart. I am not sure if it is something local.
I need a better winter routine. My skin gets so dry!
I have my share of Aveeno and Olay products. The Aveeno is great for my sensitive skin, and my mom swears by Olay.
My SIL swears by Olay and she’s got gorgeous skin. She truly looks years younger than she is… I don’t know if it’s genetics or Olay. She says both. 🙂
I love Aveeno and Olay products. They are one of the few that work well with my sensitive skin.
Great product selections! I’m a fan of Aveeno and Ponds both!
This reminds me that I need to pick up some more lotion because I’m almost out. Too bad there’s not a Shopper’s Drug Mart near me, I’ve always heard such great things about them.
Love shoppers. I don’t shop there enough but they have such great stuff! i love aveeno, one of my fave brands too!
We love Shopper’s Drug Mart. I have the WORST skin in the winter. Seriously. It’s rough, it cracks, it bleeds. I love Aveeno. I need to try that OLAY Regenerist Stuff!
Down in Florida, I don’t really have to worry about winter skin. Nevertheless, in case I go up north I am keeping you ideas handy
Tis the season of skin care. I think with as many posts as I have read about skin care, I need to get on the ball. Thanks.
I use coconut oil for my skin. That really seems to help. I try to only use organic and natural products on my skin because it is our biggest organ, we should take care of it. Wintertime can be harsh on it.
I was just saying how dry my hands were. I even gave myself a warm wax treatment. I need to get some good hand cream though.
Shoppers Drug Mart sounds like a great store. They seem like they have a little bit of everything.
I am so thankful MOST of our year is very warm. A good lotion in those cooler months is a must, though.
Aveeno lotions are one of my favorites. I go through a good amount of lotion in the winter months.
I’ve been using Olay for years. It’s a great moisturizer and has sunscreen in it which I need in Southern California.
Since I live in a place where our winters are twice a long as summers, my skin gets really dry. I moisturize regularly.
