All Dried Out

Suffering from dryness, flakiness and discomfort? You’re not alone. Really.

If winter leaves your skin in despair, read on.

Winters in Canada come with a moisture suction cup that suck out that healthy glow and transform it to a look that is neither fun nor flattering. So step up your game, create a strategy.

Your plan of action:

Cleanse. Now don’t just throw it on expecting it to work magic – give yourself a massage! Massaging helps to increase blood flow and energize the skin leaving behind dullness and transforming it into radiance. Rinse.

Try: Clinique Liquid Soap

Tone. Yes, tone, it’s essential. After cleansing your skin’s pH level is completely imbalanced and toning brings it back to normal.

Try: Forever Living Hydrating Toner.

Repair. Serums are your friend, they repair and enhance your moisturizer for optimal results. Apply over slightly damp skin to help the product's absorption.

Try: Origins Youthtopia Serum.

Or: Advanced Night Repair (for night)

Moisturize. Moisturize. Moisturize. Need I say more? Moisturizing is the key to a dry or dehydrated skin care regime and will aid in the prevention of aging. Apply over your serum and massage until absorbed.

Try: Vitamin E, Ester C Cream or Cocoa Butter

Good luck,
