Dry, dull-looking skin is a common problem for many of us during the harsh winter months, even if we have a solid and well-established skincare routine. You might notice some flaky skin or a rough patch here and there. Maybe your makeup has begun giving off an unwanted cakey vibe. You might glance in the mirror and find that your overall complexion looks a little less vibrant, a little less bright … and a little more blah.
Don’t worry! It’s easier than ever to bring that healthy, youthful glow back, thanks to products and services that focus on gentle exfoliation and boosting your skin’s hydration levels. Here are eight products and services our estheticians recommend adding to your routine during the winter season — or whenever your skin needs some revitalizing:
IMAGE Skincare’s VITAL C hydrating intense moisturizer was designed for the thirstiest of skins, making it perfect for the harsh cold winter. Its highly emollient crème is super nourishing and progressively replenishes hydration, helping to shield your face against dryness all day long. Bonus: The fresh, citrus orange smell makes you feel like you’re on the beach somewhere warm!
IMAGE knew you’d love their VITAL C formula and want to put it all over your body, so they created a lotion specifically designed for the rest of your skin. Their hydrating hand and body lotion features four highly active forms of vitamin C and stars anti-aging ingredients that are more often reserved for just the face. This lotion goes beyond just hydrating your skin, treating and targeting telltale signs of aging. And yes, it has that same fantastic scent!
If a mask is more your style, you’ll love IMAGE’s hydrating hydrogel sheet mask. It delivers instant hydration, utilizing mineral-rich waters and hyaluronic acid to refresh and revive your thirsty skin. A blend of amino acids, aloe vera and antioxidant extracts leave your face looking radiant, and its newly improved design offers a better grip and shape to help fit every face. Add it to your weekly winter skincare routine for a burst of hydration.
You can also step up your skin care this winter with Eminence Organics’ Strawberry Rhubarb Hyaluronic Serum. This formula is great for dry or dehydrated skin and delivers intense hydration with its Botanical Hyaluronic Acid Complex and revitalizing botanicals.
To keep your makeup from looking cakey, add Saint Minerals’ Natural Oil Primer to your routine. It’s formulated with 100% natural ingredients, antioxidants and essential oils to soothe and protect your skin from the elements. You can use it as a hydrating primer for dry or dehydrated skin or to turn your Saint Minerals Loose Mineral Powder into a natural liquid foundation.
Plus, give your skin some extra TLC this winter by coming in for a HydraFacial! This treatment deeply cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates the skin by utilizing super serums filled with antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid. You can even up the ante by upgrading to our Deluxe or Platinum HydraFacial, which can include LED Light Therapy and/or lymphatic drainage to further reduce the visible signs of aging. You’ll be glowing again before you know it.
