Winter Skin Care – The Cold… Hard…  Truth

As the air temperatures drop, so do the humidity levels, sucking your skin dry!  Throw in going between the cold outdoor wind and other elements to the indoor heat and you have a double whammy.  If you struggle with dryness, redness, or flakiness, this only exacerbates it.  Skin care can be hard when winter elements disrupt our skin’s natural protective layer and hydration.  For all you outdoor lovers, no need to hunker down inside anymore.  Want to keep your skin soft and smooth all season long?  Here you go my friend!

SKIN CARE- REPAIR AND DEFEND

1. Hydration Serum – Give your skin a much-needed drink of water with hydration serum.  What if you could increase your skins hydration by 200% for younger looking and younger acting skin in these winter months and thereafter?  I love a hydrating serum that acts as my skin’s personal water reservoir.  It adapts with all different skin types, and gauges your skin’s individual need with the perfect level of hydration for optimal winter skin. 
2.  Under Eye Brightener – Feeling like the winter is sucking the water out and creating some under eye dark circles, dullness, and the look of tired eyes?   Awaken those eyes with an under eye brighter full of super hydrators, antioxidants, and illuminating brighteners.  This combination of these will improve the appearance of dark circles, dullness, and lack of hydration.
3. Under Eye Cream – Are you starting to see crow’s feet, fine lines and wrinkles in your under eye area; a lack of under eye firmness; hollowness under the eyes?  Uhhhhh… D, all the above for me!  My go-to for this is an under eye cream full of powerful peptides, enriching moisturizers, and optical brighteners.  Not only does it improve the appearance of skin firmness, fine lines and wrinkles, but it also conditions the skin, increasing hydration levels giving a smooth look.  In truth, this is a year round go-to for me, but a MUST have twice a day for my winter skin care regimen.  

Some MUST HAVE skin care winter additions!

SUNSCREEN!  Say whaaaaa… but it’s cold!  One of the biggest mistakes people make is associating the need for sunscreen only with hot weather, but those skin-aging UVA rays are just as present in the colder, cloudier months. Winter skin care damage is NO JOKE!  The truth is, protecting your skin from UV damage is a year-round commitment.

LIP RENEWING SERUM.  Lips are often an afterthought when it comes to skincare, despite being a powerful indicator of age.  The cold winter days and winds blast our lips and my nightly regimen incorporates a fantastic serum to help my lips feel smoother and reduce the appearance of lip lines and wrinkles.  Just a little hidden secret of mine.

My winter skin is LOCKED… LOADED… and ready for the ski slopes!
