Staycation Beauty: 5 skincare products to use when you can't take a vacation

Here, in the Northeast, it is cold, and the frosts will not weaken in the near future. The best way to survive a harsh winter? Vacation to warmer places. It sounds beautiful, of course, but we understand that escaping to paradise at the end of winter, or at least for a few days or weeks, is not always a feasible option. That's why, if you can't go on a tropical vacation this winter, you should choose a holiday destination filled with skin care products that will transport you (mentally) to a warmer place. Here are some of our favorite skincare products from the L'Oreal portfolio of brands to make your hotel room vacation.

Multi-Purpose Moisturizer: L'Oréal Paris Hydra Nutrition All Over Balm

One of the best parts of a vacation (in our opinion) is the part where we can pamper our skin from head to toe. One caveat is that this can't take too much of our schedule. Because it's cold where you are, hydration is still a key component of your daily skin care routine. To cut down on the number of products you need to use, choose one all-in-one moisturizing balm that can be applied in multiple places. L'Oréal Paris Hydra Nutrition's All-In-One Manuka Honey Balm soothes and relieves dry skin on the face, neck, chest and arms in one fell swoop.

Face and Lip Scrub: L'Oréal Paris Purify & Unclog Kiwi Scrub 

Why use a regular facial scrub when you can use a tropical fruit seed scrub? L'Oréal Paris Purify & Unclog Kiwi Scrub from the brand's Pure-Sugar range with real kiwi seeds and three pure sugars cleanses the skin and unclogs pores, leaving it soft and smooth. Say goodbye to dirt, oil and impurities and hello to healthier, more radiant skin.

Fresh Scented Tonic: Kiehl's Cucumber Herbal Non-Alcoholic Tonic

Stop daydreaming about cucumbers on the sandy shores of a tropical island, and instead pamper your skin with this cucumber-based, non-drying toner. Formulated with plant extracts for gentle balance, Kiehl's Cucumber Herbal Herbal Alcohol Free Toner leaves skin clear, soft and soothed.

Moisturizer with sunscreen: Vichy Aqualia Thermal SPF 25

Beach trip or not, sunscreen is still the most important part of any daily skin care routine. For permanent hydration and daily UV protection, choose this thermal water facial moisturizer with SPF. Vichy Aqualia Thermal SPF 25 is hydrating, oil-free and rich in rare minerals. Remember, you don't need a beach day to protect your skin from the sun.

Renewing Body Cream: Carol's Daughter Ocean Flowers Renewing Body Cream

When it comes to beauty products that smell like vacation, this body cream is at the forefront. This seaweed based body cream smells clean and refreshing and will take you to the ocean. In addition to smell, the formula can hydrate thirsty skin and lock in moisture all day long.
