How can your skin beat the Winter Blues? Do-it-yourself Guinot Facial for Dehydrated Winter Skin Harsh winter weather takes a toll on skin leaving it dry, flaky, sensitive and irritated. When you can’t get to the spa, or in between facials, do-it-yourself homecare is a great way to keep skin in top condition when the mercury falls. Winter Facial Prescription To maintain flake-free skin during the winter season, opt for Hydra Tendre gentle cleansing cream. The Coconut Extracts not only cleanse but also neutralize the effects of hard water on the skin. Remember not to wash your face with hot water-it dehydrates the surface layers of the skin. Exfoliate not only to remove dead cells but also to maintain your skin’s hydration. Layers of dead cells asphyxiate the skin and dehydrate it. Use Gommage Biologique twice a week. The gentle AHA’S-including, sugar cane, lemon and orange- lightly exfoliate the skin and hydrate it, while green tea protects and nourishes, making this exfoliant perfect for all skins including the most sensitive. Follow up with Masque Hydra Beaute to replenish moisture and soothe wind and cold irritated skin. Try Masque Yeux to hydrate and refresh the eye area. Both masks may be left on the skin for 15 minutes then tissued or rinsed off. Finish with an application of Serum Hydra Beaute for very dry/dehydrated skin followed by Crème Hydra Beaute to seal and retain moisture in the skin. The Shea Butter and Vitamin E in the Hydra Beaute Source will help to nourish the skin and fight free-radicals, while the Hydro-captors will trap the moisture in the skin. What could be better for the eye area during the cold weather than Hydrazone Eye? Liposomes that deliver moisture into the delicate eye area and horse chestnut to reduce puffiness make it perfect all-in-one eye cream for this time of year.
