Hi all!!! Well I don’t know where all of you are located around
this lovely continent we live on but I am guessing most likely you are cold,
like me. This winter has been outrageous. I am sick of it. It wreaks havoc on
my nails (they are so dry if I look at them they spilt I swear…), makes my head
itch like crazy and, of course, dries out my skin! So today I’m going to share
with you some of my favorite Mary Kay winter skin savers! This time of year is
all about removing the dry, flakey, dead layer and moisturizing the new!
First of all, your science lesson for the day: WHY does skin get
dry? Oil that is naturally produced from the skin is what keeps it soft and
moisturized. Hot baths, low humidity and dry climate strip the oils from the
skin and leave it feeling dry and itchy.
MOISTURIZATION IS ESSENTIAL!!
We have a few things products that I would like to highlight
that will help replenish that moisture and get you back to feeling good.
At only $22 this is a cheap lifesaver for dry skin. It is an
amazing formula that dries to the touch so you can sleep in it or wear it
around the house on cleaning day. It helps de-stress skin, de-puffs skin and
reduces the appearance of pores. And it hydrates and locks in moisture. Your
skin feels amazing after you use it.
Our Oil Free Hydrating Gel (purple) and our Intense Moisturizing Cream (pink)
These little babies are at the top of the line when it comes to
adding moisture back. They are $32 each and sssoooo worth it. A little goes a
long way. I can usually get through about two winters with one jar.
The purple one is for oily skin. It’s a smooth gel that doesn’t
clog pores yet provides moisture for oily skin. (This can be tricky for oily
skin. The pores are usually larger and therefor get clogged easier with a heavy
cream causing more breakouts.)
This pink is for us dry people. It is so thick you can take the
top off the jar and shake it up and down and it will not move. It is the
ultimate moisturizer.
They both hydrate for up to ten hours leaving skin feeling soft
and locking in that essential moisture. Love. Love. LOVE!!
Now let’s talk about lips. I work in an office four days a week
and I talk on the phone most of the day so my lips gets dry. Enter SATIN LIPS!!
This little two step duo is pure magic. First you use the lip
mask to scrub off the dead skin and then use the balm to keep those lips
moisturized for at least six hours! I don’t know about you, but I never got into
the whole chapstick thing, putting it on a million times a day only to have
your lips STILL be dry, forget that crap. This is just a million times better.
I love to use it before bed a few times a week and I never have chapped lips,
even in the coldest weather. The set is only $18, I have spent that on an okay
lunch at Applebee’s. Such a deal!!!
So there are my top four picks. I hope that I helped you and you
considering adding a few of these goodies to your routine. We also have other
options as well so contact me and I’ll find you a perfect fit, at a great
price.
Thanks! Stay Warm!
