Skin of all types will need more hydration in the winter. Here are our top tips for loving your winter skin … implement as many as you can and feel free to call if you have a specific question or concern.

1. Cold temps remove moisture from the air and dry out our skin. Drink lots of water – at least 64 ounces a day. Keep a stainless steel water bottle with you to avoid toxicity from chemical leaching in plastic bottles.
2. Use a humidifier in the home.
3. Add herbal teas and more omegas such as flax seed or flax seed oil to your diet.
4. Exfoliate! At least once a week, a gentle scrub like Epicuren’s Apricot Facial Scrub, will help to remove dead skin cells, allowing your products to penetrate more deeply. Or try Priori’s Perfection Facial Gel for a light AHA exfoliation.
5. Those with a dry skin type may need to switch to a milky or creamy cleanser such as the DNA Crème of Nectar to avoid over-drying the skin.
6. Add a humectant containing hyaluronic acid – your skin will love it! Hyaluronic acid pulls 1,000 times its molecular weight in water from the air. We like TRUE Moisture Enhancer and Epicuren’s Moisture Surge. These can be used to spot treat dry areas or a few drops can be added to your moisturizer.
7. We’re getting fabulous feedback on the new liquid Skin Tint from TRUE Cosmetics. In addition to lightly blending out imperfections, this new tinted moisturizer adds a significant boost to your hydration under the TRUE mineral powder foundation.
8. Don’t forget your sunscreen!
