Winter Skin Care

The winter months give our skin a beating. The endless dehydration of heaters, the bad food and alcohol throughout the holidays. November through January we neglect our skin. With holiday stress and heater dryness our skin gets abused. Its time to counter this damage.

Step one: water. Drink lots of water. It will re-hydrate your body from the inside out. It will also push out those toxins left in your system by Christmas cookies and New Year’s champagne.

Step Two: add more fruits and vegetables to your diet. The nutrients in these items will revitalize the skin, again starting from the inside out.

Step Three: A good cleanser is essential. You need to be careful not to get a cleanser with alcohol in it, as this will only further add to the dryness of your skin. Even if you are prone to acne, cleansers that dry you should be avoided.

White heads or pimples are caused by bacteria building up inside the pores. The one we recommend for most clients is Dermaquest’s Anti-Bacterial Enzyme Cleanser.

This stuff is amazing! It attacks bacteria so that it doesn’t even have a chance to create blemishes in your skin. It is gentle enough to use every day and will not dry you out. The results? Beautiful, clear skin! This can also be used as a topical body wash.

Step Four: Exfoliate. The Japanese Wash Cloth is the best and safest form of manual exfoliation and is essential to proper skin care.

This specially woven nylon cloth stimulates the blood flow into the surface of the skin. It gently removes dead skin, black heads, reduces roughness and dryness and gives you healthier, younger looking skin.

And last but not least of its wonderful attributes, also by stimulating blood flow helps to diminish the cellulite in problem areas… not only does this magical cloth exfoliate you like no other and give you buttery smooth skin, it helps rid you of cellulite.

For Acneic skin, aged skin, dry skin, oily skin, cellulite, all become vastly improved with this simple, essential item. The Japanese Wash Cloth should be in every woman’s shower.

Step Five: hydrate. For those of you with oily to acneic skin, the Dermaquest Rejuvaderm is the moisturizer for you. it’s specially formulated ingredients help control and fight excess oils and bacteria.

For dry skin, the Dermaquest Revive Rich is the way to go. It’s a rich moisturizer that goes on smooth, and leaves your skin feeling refreshed and non-greasy.

We all have beautiful skin, some times we just need help uncovering it.
