Winter Beauty Tips

I enjoy the cozy time that winter brings. Curling up with my cat in front of the woodstove, lighting candles, sipping hot cocoa, and doing indoor projects. My activities in the winter are much different than how I spend my free time during the warmer months when I stay out doing yard work until it gets dark. Even though it tends to bet wet outside this time of year, inside our homes tends to be dry due to heating. Our skin and hair can be effected by this dryness and often we need to make adjustments in our skin and hair care routines in order to keep it looking and feeling healthy. Here are some simple tips that hopefully you'll find helpful.

- Keep an intensive moisturizer by your bedside and apply to hands every night.
- Apply a hand cream throughout the day. Keep some by the kitchen sink.
- It may be helpful to switch to a cream based facial cleanser, like a cleansing milk.
- Your skin may need a richer moisturizer, especially at night.
- Try applying a very small amount of coconut or jojoba oil to the ends of your hair.
- Use a deep conditioner in your hair weekly.
- Use a hair product for shine. Shiny hair looks like healthy hair.
- If you blow dry, make sure you use a product to protect from the heat.
- Use a gentle facial exfoliant 1- 2x per week
- Use moisturizer on your face both day and night
- Exfoliate your body once a week with scrubby mitts or a body scrub product
- Sleep with a humidifier on in your bedroom
- Avoid super hot showers. Drink tea to warm up instead.

I am happy to assist you with your skin and hair care needs. If you have questions or would like specific recommendations, please let me know. I have a wonderful assortment of effective products and the knowledge and experience to help prescribe 'beauty rituals' customized just for you!

Bring Spring In

Eventhough it's still rainy and chilly, early spring is one of my most favorite times of the year. Why? Because of the sheer joy I feel when I notice all the trees and flowers slowly - then suddenly - bursting forth with baby leaves and flowers!
 An enjoyable but super simple way to tune into the magic of Spring is to Bring Spring In!
Bring in cuttings of indian plum, quince, forsythia or fruit trees and put them in water. The warmth of indoors will cause them to open and bloom rapidly - watch the magic unfurl before your eyes!  
   
You can also treat yourself to some fragrant hyacinths or daffodils for indoors then plant them outside after they're spent. They will sprout up outside next year and make you happy all over again! Yay!
