Winterize Your Skin Routine!

Dry, chapped, irritated skin? It’s time for change…Seasons change is the perfect time to winterize your skin & your skincare regimen.Winter weather can cause havoc in our skin, not to mention heaters, travel, and poor diets, which are all factors in the game this time of year. Dry, cold air makes skin work harder to keep a healthy lipid barrier and we all suffer from more transepidermal water loss.When your skin gets really dry several things happen. First and foremost, dry skin can look older and who wants that?!  In addition, your skin (like all your other organs), functions better when it is hydrated topically and internally. When we loose moisture on the surface we also compromise our built in barrier protection which can make our skin more prone to rashes, redness, and other skin irritations. Those of you who are prone to eczema /rosacea/psoriasis/ other skin conditions find they can “flare up” much easier when dry.What to do now?  Prevention is always best!To help keep skin looking its best this winter here are tips/product recommendations on how to correct/heal/prevent and hydrate your skin now! Do one or all of these things now. If your skin is uber dry, AND/OR, if you are working to heal or correct skin issues such as acne/discoloration… you need to do more to get your skin to function better. When you are dry you don’t heal as well!1. Up the anti on your moisturizer! One way to do this is to use a booster like my OMG (Oh Mega Goodness). This oil is LOADED with Omegas which are incredibly and deeply moisturizing!You can use the same moisturizer you are currently using and just add in a few drops of this at night to boost or kick up the value of your current moisturizer.2. Go from a lotion or fluid to a cream… Here are some of my favorite creams that can be used am & pmLavish Dream Cream – with firming and correcting properties for wrinkles /dry skin.These are my own raw/natural/organic, healthy creams which can be used both am & pm by just adjusting the amount you use- less in the day and more at night!Restore Cream – for super duper dry skin and/or only at night.Nourish Cream – a favorite for sensitive /irritated/ dry skinBalance Cream – perfect for the one who gets clogged/oily/and yet dry as well- get back in balance!3.

Stop or prevent that now!  Wash DON’T “Strip” away your natural oils with harsh soaps /body washes.1. This Body Exfoliant is superior! It doesnt get moldy or fall apart like a typical loofah will.2. The Dew it Again Shower Gel is my absolute favorite body wash I have ever met!!
