A Versatile Skincare Must-Have for Winter
-
JOSH:
Let’s jump right into skincare first. Winter can be harsh on our skin, which is why I love Nivea. And here’s that Nivea Creme — or as some would say, “creme.” What’s so great about it? So many different uses as a moisturizer, as a makeup remover. You can put this on your heels at night and then put socks over them and wake up to smooth, luxurious heels. This is great.
They also come in these great travel sizes, too, so you can throw them in your bag when you get on a flight. I love this because it’s a drugstore buy — you can grab it at CVS, Target, Walmart, and so on and so forth.
Scent of the Year for Indoor Freshness
-
JOSH:
Next up, let’s talk about the scent of the year. Febreeze — a big fan, it’s all over my house — just came out with their scent of the year, and they decided it is Mountain. It’s got this alpine, wildflower, woodsy scent — a bit of cedar in there. It will give you this sense of zen in your home, which I love. Great for all rooms of the house. They have it in air, plug, fabric, car. You can grab this one also in easy places like Walmart and Target.
An Award-Winning Hydrating & Moisturizing Product You Need During the Winter
-
JOSH:
Next up is a brand that I have lived by for many years now. I use all their stuff. This is DefenAge 10 Luxe Hand and Body Cream. Here’s why I love it. It’s age-reversal skincare. I use it every single night. It's going to reduce the visible signs of aging. I love it. It was actually named Best in Class Body by Good Housekeeping Beauty Awards, so you know it's good. This is delicious. Your skin is just going to eat this up, and love it. You can go to DefenAge.com on that one. Huge fan here.
Luxury Home Fragrance for a Cozier Home
-
JOSH:
Alright, we’re talking about setting the tone for your house during the winter months. Fell in love recently with a brand called Apotheke. Here’s why I love it. It’s a Brooklyn, New York-founded brand all about luxury home fragrances. They’ve got candles, they’ve got diffusers, they’ve got bath things. Their top-selling candle and scent is Charcoal. They also have Sea Salt Grapefruit — delicious — they’ve got Earl Grey Bitters. Apothekeco.com. I love that the Charcoal also comes in this concrete casing. Delicious. I lit this last night, and my entire house smelled beautiful.
Rejuvenating Winter Face Mask
-
JOSH:
Last up, let’s go back and talk about skincare and how we can really take care of our face this time: HigherDOSE. You may have heard of it. I've been a big fan of the brand for a long time. This is their Red Light Face Mask. Use this 10 to 20 minutes 3-4 times a week on your face. It’s gonna support glowing skin; it’s gonna support collagen production, reduce fine lines, and boost your mood. It comes in this grade-A silicone. It’s cordless, so that makes it really easy to use. You can go to higherdose.com. They also have some great stuff — an infrared sauna blanket I use often, really trying to take care of all this during the winter, Mark.
MARC:
Josh, as always, great stuff. Every single thing I need to add to keep this face together. Thank you, sir. Appreciate you as always, okay?
JOSH:
Thanks, Marc!
