Winter is the season that saps our skin of vital moisture; moisture that is mandatory for maintaining a glowing complexion. Fine lines, dehydration and sensitivity to the season’s elements can all take their toll and ultimately make us look tired and less than youthful. The good news is that there are a number of nifty little beauty products that absolutely fortify the skin from the harshness of the season and help amp the hydration factor.
Add these excellent new winter proofed products to your shopping cart ASAP.
Planet Eve Certified Organic Facial Cleansing Oil
This gorgeously luxurious oil thoroughly and gently removes dirt, grime, and make-up from the skin. The softly scented formula deeply cleanses without stripping or over-drying the skin. Enriched with rosehip, jojoba, vitamin E, soybean, argan oil, and jasmine, the cleansing oil targets pigmentation and blemishes, softens and smoothes skin, and improves skin elasticity.
Quick Tip: Many people think that a quick rub or scrub daily is an adequate cleanse. With all of the new beauty formulas that include ‘long-wear’ and ‘invigorating’ properties you need to massage your desired cleanser into your face for about 1 minute to see those sought after glowing results. Thank us later.
