Garnier Skin Active Moisture Bomb Collection – Winter Skincare

As I write this article, snow flurries are fluttering down in the cold wind and it’s as bleak as Gotham City. Winter is here and it’s getting ready to dry out your skin, but don’t panic. The new Moisture Bomb Collection by Garnier helps combat dull, flaky skin with a blast of hyaluronic acid, antioxidant-rich fruit extracts and revitalizing vitamins (told you not to panic).

Sheet Masks are pretty much a way of life for many of us and the Moisture Bomb Super Hydrating Treatments ($3.99) deliver immediate results. It only takes 3-15 mins although I leave mine on longer and steam my face prior to application for better absorption. The sheets are soaked in lush serum enriched with pomegranate extract and hyaluronic acid so when I peel it off, my complexion is plump, supple and dewy. The non-greasy formula is free of mineral oil and petrolatum so there is no need to rinse.

The range also includes a Soothing Mask (with chamomile + hyaluronic acid) and the Super
Hydrating/Mattifying Mask (with green tea + hyaluronic acid).

The Moisture Bomb Antioxidant Super Moisturizer ($19.99) floods skin with hydration and absorbs quickly with no residue. If you’re looking for a lightweight cream that works well under makeup and primer, this lotion is a great option. The antioxidant complex defends against daily aggressors while Vitamins C and E fortify and nourish. The formula coats evenly (so a little goes a long way) and skin feels soft and smooth.

Gel moisturizers are soothing, cool, and refreshing on tight, sensitive skin which is ideal for harsh climates. This formula ($19.99) has the same ingredients as the lotion to lock in moisture and create a protective barrier that shields, plumps and minimizes wrinkles - perfect for long, busy days. The box says that results last up to 48 hours (obviously not the case if you wash your face daily) but the effects are long-lasting and the gel feels amazing on parched skin.

The Moisture Rescue Refreshing Gel-Cream ($10.99) infused with fruit water and Vitamin C, guards the skin from drying winds and sun damage while reducing roughness and enhancing radiance. Like the rejuvenating products above, this one also penetrates deeply to condition, heal and soften with an oil-free finish.
