*Update: The winners have been selected and notified. Thank you to all who participated!*
Hello from Minnesota, land of oh-so-dry winter air. Whenever the weather turns from chilly to definitively cold, I start to feel that unwelcome sense of tightness on my already dry skin. This year is no different and I’m doing my best to keep my skin as moisturized as possible.
In the midst of this holiday season, I wanted to do a little giveaway featuring some of my favorite skin-care products. I’ve used three of these products for years, and the lip mask was a new addition to my routine this past winter. I love all four items and would wholly recommend them!
I’m giving away TWO sets of the below four products:
- SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic Serum
- EltaMD Barrier Renewal Complex
- EltaMD Broad Spectrum SPF 40
- ILIA Lip Wrap Hydrating Mask
To enter the giveaway, leave a comment below mentioning why you’d be excited to try these products. Two (2) winners will be selected at random this Wednesday, December 22 at 12 p.m. CST!
P.S. Through December 31, Dermstore’s Last Chance Sale will include discounts up to 30% off + an extra 10% off clearance with code EXTRA10. Several of the items above are included in the sale, so be sure to take a peek!

Thank you for being here. For being open to enjoying life’s simple pleasures and looking inward to understand yourself, your neighbors, and your fellow humans! I’m looking forward to chatting with you.
Hi, I'm Kate. Welcome to my happy place.
Oh heyyyyyy! First of all, I’m in the same boat with the ever dry skin and lips. I thought I had turned a corner when I moved out of super dry Utah – negative! It turns out working as a nurse in a hospital, where any type of humidity just can’t exist, has made it even worse! I know I should invest in a solid skin care regiment, but I feel so guilty!
Bring on the dry skin recs!! I’ve heard great things about both SkinCeuticals and EltaMD (and love the EltaMD tinted sunblock!).
I also live in St. Paul, and my skin has really been struggling this winter!
Ahhh! Winter in Minnesota is no joke – tough on the skin. I’ve heard great things about these products and I would love to give them a try. Thank you!
Living in Texas, we deal with dry air from January 1st to December 31st each year. I’d love the chance to try out these products to help keep my skin healthy year round. Also, I’d love using them as a brief distraction from our terrible state government. Maybe the Ilia lip wrap will keep me warm during the next winter storm!
I am so excited to step up my skin care game now that I reached my 30s – the decade my soul is meant to be in I think! As someone who also lives in Saint Paul, I consider you the cool older sister I’ve never had and take your recommendations on everything so seriously! My friend and I had a whole “Wit & Delight” tour last weekend – we went to Estelle and Due Focacceria for the first time and loved them both. I have little doubt your skin care recs are equally as fabulous. Thanks for the site… Read more »
Great giveaway!! My skin is extremely dry. I live in WI so the same weather as Minnesota.
I’d love to win to get introduced to new, tried-and-true products!
OH wow!! I never enter these things but this really has my interest. My over 40 skin is in need of some new love. LOL. Happy Holidays!
I would be excited to try these because honestly putting stuff on my skin is the only self-care I reliably give myself.
What a great giveaway! I have always had dry skin and living in Colorado doesn’t help. I’ve been on the hunt for great skin care products, but have been plagued by indecision. There are soooooo many options out there!
Hii, mornin’!! Yeppp, I experience dry skin as well in the winter months no matter how much lotion/ moisturzer I have on. Elta MD UV Daily is THE BEST!!! It is worth every penny. Haven’t tried Elta’s other products, and the other products here but have heard nothing but rave reviews. Good luck to me!! 🙂
I’d love to try these because there’s SO many skincare products out there its hard to narrow down the great ones. I live in Colorado & our dry winter air along with the daily wearing of face masks really takes a toll on my skin.
I’ve heard so many good things and would love to try the EltaMD products!
Oh! I would love some recommendations and try some new products for dry temps; I am in the mountains of Canada and its always a production trying to stay hydrated!
I’m desperate to change up my skincare routine and would love to try new products that are high quality!
I’ve heard great things about all these prods, especially the SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic Serum! I got my Mom the EltaMD sunscreen for Mother’s Day this year and she is a fan,
I love all of these skincare brands but have never tried those products! Like some of the other commenters, I’m dealing with the dry MN winter and looking for better skin.
I’m also in Minnesota and my skin is showing it! I would love to give these products a try, as what I am using now is not cutting it.
Ugh, winter skin! Mine could use all the help. My sister loves EltaMD products and swears by them. Would absolutely love to try these! Thank you!
I live in St. Paul, too, and am always fighting dry skin every winter! I’d love to try out a tried and true product recommended by a local! I’m particularly intrigued by the lap wrap hydrating mask!
I am not a big “beauty product” person, but I LOVE skincare!
Oh boy, my dry, aging skin could use this kind of help!
I’d love to win these! As a former Floridian turned New Yorker, the winters are always a shock to me–even after 20 years. My skin is already dry but in the winter–it’s just so uncomfortable. I’m always looking to try something new to help replenish the moisture.
Happy Holidays to the Wit & Delight team!
Awesome giveaway, Kate! I have the EltaMD SPF on subscription! Love it so much – no irritation. I’m from MN as well and I have dry skin = not a great combo for the long winter months. I’d love to try the CE Ferulic – everyone raves about it.
Wow, this would be amazing for me. I have checked out this site before but never tried! Fingers crossed.
YAS! I need to up my skincare game. You are always inspiring.
I switched to Elta MD for my daily this year sunscreen and have been really happy so I would love to try another product from that line. I have had my eye on the Ilia mask for a bit and seeing it here makes me think I should definitely pull the trigger (If I don’t win of course!)
Oh my my! I’d be over the moon excited to win this for multiple reasons. First, I live in Montreal (Quebec) Canada and winters can be rude around here so I’m always looking for ways to give some extra love to my sensitive skin! Second, I’ve always wanted to try SkinCeuticals, elta MD and ILIA but never got around to it so… NOW’S the time! 🙂 Thank you so much for this great giveaway! ♡
Being a new homeowner this year has us spending any extra money on home necessities so skincare has been limited to pharmacy products. Winter always seems much harsher on my skin so upgrading my skincare products to include the giveaway products would be a joy.
My Minnesotan and 6mo postpartum skin need some love! ♡
Ah my skin would LOOOOVE this and thank me endlessly for finally giving it the care it needs. Adult acne is no joke.
I have been really wanting to try the CE ferulic. I have so many dark spots and have heard this product is great.
My skin is definitely getting drier as I approach 40. My sister and I have a sweet weekend tradition of doing masks together and talking face stuff and I would so love to bring these products to the party!
I would love to try these products because I have a dry skin year around… and live in the south. With ALL the humidity. So mama needs all the help she can get!! I’ve also been dying to try the C E Ferulic, just a little out of my budget :).
Thank you for doing this! I’ve heard amazing things about Skinceuticals, and I have really enjoyed all of your recommendations I’ve tried while following Wit & Delight. I would love to give these a try!
As always, my face is dry from the MN winter air… up for trying anything recommended that’ll help!
Looking to try some new products! From Wisconsin so know the winter skin care struggle
My face! Masks as a healthcare worker have done a number— winter and constant irritation and stress have only made matters worse. Would appreciate some help for my poor aging, tired, stressed skin! Happy holidays!
I’ve been dying to try the Skinceuticals! It’s just a little too pricey for my budget. SoCal weather gets super dry during the winters and it would be nice to get some relief! Thanks for hosting this amazing giveaway!
Would love to try new products that will help my skin in the Chicago weather that I commute (walking to train) in 5 days a week. These all look great.
I’ve only heard great things about SkinCeuticals (as for the prices…). This Midwest skin is in need of saving!
with dumb luck and good genes, i have pretty good skin, but i’m starting to see my 50s settle into my face. would love to try these products and give old age &MN a run for their money
Pretty sure I heard about that sunscreen on Poog too! So now I’m reaaaally interested in trying it. Would love all 4 products for sure. 😉
I’d love to win! I haven’t ever tried any of these products.
As a fellow Minnesotan, I could use some hydrating products. I’ve also used the EltaMD products before and really liked them.
I’m experiencing my first real “winter” and would love to try the faves of someone more experienced with them!
I trust any recommendations you make! Plus, my dry Wisconsin skin could use all the help it can get. Thanks for doing what you do💜
Oh wow I have been wanting to try the CE serum for like a year now! I hear it’s amazing and definitely need a light good quality SPF for everyday protection!
The three humidifiers I currently have throughout my house aren’t even a match for Fargo/Moorhead winters! My skin would thank you!
I really need to up my skincare game!!!!
