Winter brings dryer air, cold outside and warm inside, creating duller looking skin. To combat this, I always begin with a good cleansing and moisturizing routine, both day and night. Even in the winter I want to use a moisturizer with SPF to protect against UV rays and the environment. Whether you use the Timewise Miracle Set, Velocity, or basic skin care set - your skin will love you!
As a Mary Kay consultant I pamper others, and help them define specific problem areas. Time for my own pampering session! After a good cleansing, I headed for the microdermabrasion set. Get rid of all that dead skin and down to the new! Next came a thick emollient cream. Lathered it all over the face. Gently heated a washcloth in the microwave so warm to the touch and just laid on my face for about 15 minutes. I could just feel the emollient warming up and slowly melting into my skin! Finished off with a rich moisturizer and night solution. Let that skin repair!
Ever tried making your own body lotion? Plenty of recipes online but be sure to add germaben II, a preservative of sorts. The soft lotion and continual dipping with hands is a great place for bacteria to breed! You don't want that on your skin! Several nice links:
Morning brings softer, and fresher looking skin. No time to stop! Foundation will not only even out skin tones, but protects against all the environmental gunk! Just in time for winter is the limited edition Mary Kay liquid illuminator. Try shade 1 on your entire face before adding moisturizer to brighten up the face and get some highlights. Rather have a nice summery bronzed look? Then jump to the limited edition shade 2 and use as a bronzer. Try adding shade 2 with your body moisturizer and get that summer glow all over!
My skin needs as much care in the winter as the summer, but of a different type. Might even be time to change foundation color.
Enjoy your own pampering session!
