CURRENT
When the temperature changes, so should your beauty routine. Your hair and skin react differently in cooler temperatures. Changing your regime to adapt to the change of seasons will help you stay beautiful all year round.
SKIN CARE
Cooler weather means artificial heating indoors which has a negative affect on all skin. To overcome dry skin switch moisturizers to a heavier cream. Apply while your face is still moist preferably after showering. This will guarantee to lock in moisture.
For those of you who are active in the winter and habitually take a hot bath to warm up beware of the adverse affects this will have on your skin. Taking warm showers and baths as opposed to hot will help your body retain moisture. If you must take hot baths be sure to take extra measures to moisturize your body. There are plenty of moisturizing potions on the market. Dare to be original and whip up a few of your own magic potions.
MAGIC POTION FOR DRY SKIN
For extra dry skin, mix a half cup of Epsom salt with one tablespoon of olive oil and a few drops of lemon or grapefruit. Gently rub in a circular motion on body and rinse off with warm water. This will alleviate any dry skin and help lock in moisture.
KISSABLE LIPS
Ladies by all means please do not forget about those lips. Kissable lips are soft beautiful, moisturized lips, with smooth undertones and rich color. Drinking plenty of water and sporting your favorite lip balm will give you the look you want.
HAIR CARE
Not only does your skin dry out during the winter, so does your hair. Make sure to pay attention to it and perform damage control by applying a deep conditioner as needed. Most hair only needs to be washed twice a week, but it is important to remember to wash out all styling products that can weight down your hair.
Lastly healthy skin and hair makes a women look and feel beautiful. Make sure to hydrate your body by drinking plenty of water. A cup of warm green tea can do wonders to you inside and out. For extra shine on your hair try Aveda Brilliant, it will leave a long lasting shine.
