When the weather outside is frightful...Get a winter glow!
Start with your skin... EXFOLIATE and HYDRATE
If you don’t exfoliate on a regular basis you need to rush out and get an exfoliating scrub or an AHA night cream!
After sloughing off the dead skin stuck on the surface of your skin your moisturizer will soak in and do a way better job! All of the ingredients will be able to penetrate your skin instead of just sitting on top working on the dead skin. Invest in a richer than usual moisturizer for winter unless you get break outs.
If you use foundation, prevent it from looking cakey during the winter by mixing it with a few drops of moisturizer to sheer it out! Another option is to try a tinted moisturizer instead of foundation. The extra moisturizing ingredients will hydrate your skin as well as provide that coverage you are looking for. The coverage will be more sheer than most foundations but the payoff is amazing! If you find it doesn't cover quite enough...dab some concealer where you need it. We love Laura Mercier's Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20. If you like the model's skin in the Laura Mercier photo above....try this creamy lush product to even out your skin and give you that gorgeous natural glow...
To catch the light, dab illuminating lotion or shimmering powder on the upper corners of your cheekbones, brow bones, and the inner corners of eyes. These steps will give you glowing skin even in the cold dry brisk weather that is dehydrating your skin and making it look dull!
If you have warm undertones or a darker complexion try a gold illuminator. If you are quite fair try an icy light pink or a pale gold.
When in doubt go with a shade that looks good on any skin tone: Check out Orgasm Illuminator by NARS
