Is Winter leaving you Dull?



Is Winter leaving you with a Dull Complexion?

 


Dehydrated skin cells turn over much slower in the winter months, causing a buildup of dead skin, which hinders light reflection. Circulation also gets sluggish—and just like that, your beautiful summer glow is gone and fine lines look more pronounced. Just one of the many downfalls of winter.



Soothing Solution: Bolster your beauty from the inside out by drinking lots of water and loading up on omega-3s (essential fatty acids found in foods such as salmon and walnuts). Omega- 3s boost hydration, so I recommend taking supplements to ensure you get enough.



Your daily skin regimen should start with a milky or creamy cleanser, which contains fewer stripping surfactants than gel formulas do. Try Mineral Silk Soothing Milk Cleanser or my other favorite winter cleanser the Tea Time Cleanser. Both just $9.97 each.

Follow with a cream or balm instead of a lotion. They're richer and better at holding water in the skin,  Try our Shea Butter Whipped Creme. Creams insulate the skin, which is key when you're constantly going between the cold outside and the drying heat indoors.
Enjoy your Winter with these easy tips!
