The weather outside isn’t too frightful yet, but your skin may not enjoy the cooler weather as much as you do. Skin tends to react to low temperatures, low humidity, and harsh winds by becoming dry, flaky, and sometimes itchy. Here are a few ways to boost your winter skin care regimen, so you can keep your skin moist and healthy through the cold winter months!
Exfoliate one to three times a week! This is an important step to removing dry, flaky skin and opening up your pores to remove built-up dirt. Micro-Exfoliating Scrub by SkinCeuticals is an amazing product designed for congested and rough skin. This mild exfoliating gel combines natural microbeads with gentle cleansing and hydrating agents to thoroughly cleanse pores and promote healthy cell renewal without damaging or drying skin.

Moisturizing is so important! The dry air you encounter during the cold months may strip your skin of the essential oil and moisture it needs to be healthy. Another amazing product that we suggest is Daily Moisture by SkinCeuticals. This lightweight pore-minimizing moisturizer can be used on both normal or oily skin. It hydrates, nourishes, and helps reduce the appearance of pore size with an exclusive combination of natural extracts.

Remember- your face is not the only skin that craves attention. Your hands and lips may also become victim of the harsh elements!
Our favorite is the hand cream by Soap & Paper Factory. This pure, velvety hand cream is beautifully perfumed and loaded with the finest oils available in nature. Perfect for protecting your skin from drying out in the cold, these oils will sooth and protect, leaving your skin silky smooth and bursting with vitality!

For lips, The Lip Scrub and The Lip Slip by Sara Happ are the perfect, cutest duo! The Lip Scrub is an exfoliant that eliminates dry, flaky skin to leave lips ridiculously soft and supple. After using the scrub, apply The Lip Slip for shine that brings out the natural color of your lips and provides unbeatable moisture.

All of these products and more are available at the East Cosmetic Cafe now!
