As we enter into the harsh and unforgiving winter months, our skin can become flaky, dry and dehydrated more easily. Just as we transition our wardrobe from linens and cottons to wool and cashmeres, we must also transition our skincare. During these cold, dry months we need a few essentials that will keep the skin balanced, nourished and most importantly radiant!
three Skincare Tips to Avoid the Winter Blues
It is easy to get caught up in the latest trends when it comes to skincare and beauty, but taking proper care of your skin will never go out of style. Winter is the time of hibernation, so as we hunker down indoors, give your skin some extra TLC with these skincare tips.
At-home facials
If you want something to look forward to but don’t actually want to leave the house, try a DIY home facial. On your next reset day, turn on your favorite “chill” playlist and light a few candles and turn your bathroom into Rescue Spa. If you really want to amp up your facial, invest in a Therabody Theraface Pro! This is the ultimate device for facial health, its multi-tasking technology combines facial massage, microcurrent, LED and infrared light therapy. There is no such thing as a facial without a face mask. The Biologique Recherche favorite, Creme Masque Vernix, is going to be your saving grace this winter. This versatile cream masque is lipid restoring, protective and revitalizing.
