Treat Your Hair & Skin Right for Winter


As we move away from the warm summer weather and  briskness of fall into the cool of winter, it’s time to adjust our beauty routine; preparing our hair & skin for the harsh weather!

Davines OI/OIL ($39 at www.davines.com for salon locations)
Essential Haircare OI/OIL goes to work on all hair types, especially dry, frizzy hair, detangling and smoothing strands. Unlike some oils that weigh hair down, Davines’ lightweight oil blend imparts remarkable softness, frizz-control and shine, as well as significant dry-time reduction when used on damp hair. OI/OIL is powered by antioxidant-rich Roucou Oil, a beta-carotene-rich native Amazonian plant.


Upper Canada Soap Naturally Signature Collection in Golden Maple Sugar
The scent of fresh maple syrup blended with lightly sweetened butter and warm undertones of brown sugar always remind me of the fall.  This line from Upper Canada Soap offers superior nourishment and moisture for naturally healthy, glowing skin!
·         Hydrating Shower Gel ($9.99 at www.uppercanadasoap.com): This pH-balance blend of Glycerin and White Tea Extract cleanses the body of impurities while replenishing lost moisture.
·         Nourishing Lip Balm ($4.99 at www.uppercanadasoap.com): This emollient-rich balm envelops thirsty lips in moisture with a blend of Shea Butter, Beeswax, Cocoa Seed Butter, and Vitamin E.

    

Atopalm Skincare
Designed particularly for skin suffering from allergies, rosacea dryness and sensitivity in need of gentle yet powerful treatment, each paraben-free Atopalm product is powered by Dermatologist and Ophthalmologist tested MLE formulas—plant derived ingredients that mimic skin’s natural structure and restore skin's protective moisture barrier system. This unique complex hydrates, soothes and calms skin in distress, leaving dry, sensitive skin visibly renewed.
  • Daytime Undermakeup Moisture Cream ($18 at www.atopalmusa.com) – This restorative, moisturizing cream provides a smooth foundation for even, long-lasting makeup application. Infused with nourishing Vitamin E and antioxidants, the gentle yet hydrating cream supports beautiful, healthy skin.
  • Moisturizing Hand Treatment ($18 at www.atopalmusa.com) – A moisturizing emulsion that promotes younger, brighter-looking skin with a hydrating antioxidant blend, this nourishing hand treatment delivers lasting protection.

 



As you've seen from some of my previous postings, I do tend to have issues with dry hair and skin in the winter months. I know I am not alone. And I'm happy that there are some products out there to help me out.

The Upper Canada Soap Naturally Signature Collection in Golden Maple Sugar Body Soap shown above is fantastic. I love the gentle soap that I can use on my skin. The smooth soap is easy and quick to use in the shower every day. I even used mine to shave my legs with. It helped leave them silky and not dried out like regular soap would.

I also really like the ATOPALM Moisturizing Hand Treatment. This is a great lotion that I can quickly put on my hands every day as needed. If my hands are really dry I can use it each time after I wash my hands during the day. And another thing I like to do is put it on just before I go to sleep at night. It gives the lotion time to soak into my skin and keep it moisturized while I sleep. Plus since I'm not brushing it off or washing it off with water then, it makes my hands silky and soft when I get up in the morning.

You can find these products and more from the same companies at their respective websites www.uppercanadasoap.com and www.atopalmusa.com.
