Even for those of us with a normal/oily complexion, the winter season can be a major culprit when it comes to flaky, dry, itchy skin. This is because the skin becomes more dehydrated when exposed to wind, rain, snow, sun, and severe temperature changes, accelerating the appearance of age. Some signs to look out for:
Tightness
Itching & Irritation
Fine Lines
Dull Complexion
Loss of Elasticity
When you skin is dehydrated and weather-torn, it shows! The first step in replacing lost moisture in your skin is internal hydration. Try to drink 6-8 glasses of water a day.
Unfortunately, this is usually not enough. Cold weather can aggravate pre-existing skin conditions, and as the cells on the outer layer of your skin become dryer, the surface becomes rough and unhealthy. Some products we recommend for dry skin are:
Merle Roberts Peel Away the Wrinkles Kit- includes a wrinkle banishing mask and an exfoliating serum. This duo will help you clear away dead skin and debris and accelerate your skin’s renewal process. Use the peel-away face mask to restore radiance to dull complexions. Follow with the Smoothing Serum to encourage exfoliation and prevent clogged pores while you sleep! For those extra-dry moments, follow with Merle Roberts Retinyl Night Revitalizer, a luxurious blend of shea and cocoa butter, aloe, and vitamin A for pure indulgence.
