Embrace the season!

Embrace the season!

Tip #1 - All moisturizers are not created equal! The weather this time of year (regardless of your locale) will wreak havoc on your skin! If you’re feeling that your skin is uber dry due to the colder air, and your summertime moisturizer is not making the cut, try a richer moisturizer like Facelogic’s Skin Perfecting Therapy to give you that added hydration.

Tip #2 - Less is best! Contrary to what you may think, loading on the moisturizer does not necessarily mean you’ll be more hydrated. Applying coat after coat of moisturizer will just end up in product waste. So, apply what is needed for your skin, usually about a dime-size amount in the morning and before you hit the pillow at night.

Tip #3 – Protect your skin! Just because you’re not out sunbathing and lunching with your girlfriends in sundresses and platforms, doesn’t mean that your skin is safe from sun damage. The colder, less visible winter sun can be just as damaging as the hot summer sun. Everyone should be wearing an SPF of at least 15 on a daily basis. Try Peter Thomas Roth’s Uber Dry Sunscreen SPF 30.

Tip #4 – Don’t over exfoliate! We know you love a good scrub as much as we do, but if your skin is really dry slow down on the peels,  scrubs and acid-based products which can strip the vital oils from your skin. It’s important that you exfoliate, but instead of doing so twice a week, switch to once a week or every ten days until the dryness subsides.

Tip #5 – Drink up! We know the myth that water doesn’t help make your skin look any better, BUT it does help with your overall health, so drink up this winter season! If it’s too cold to drink water, switch to green tea for some added antioxidants and flavor.

The season’s change in weather doesn’t have to ruin all of the holiday fun! Follow these 5 easy tips and you can say good-bye to dry, flaky skin until next year!

yumm!

yumm!

There’s nothing better than some good pumpkin pie or pumpkin bread this time of year…but what about pumpkin facial treatments?? That’s right, not only can you have your pumpkin pie, you can beautify in it too!

Want a great at-home fall treatment? Facelogic Spa now offers a great one-two pumpkin punch with Peter Thomas Roth’s Pumpkin Enzyme Peel and Eminence Organic’s Pumpkin Latte Hydration Masque.

These pumpkin-based products work great together – start with the Pumpkin Enzyme Peel to detoxify your skin while gently dissolving dead surface cells and stimulting cellular turnover. Leave this treatment on for about 1 to 5 minutes depending on skin sensitivity. Remove the enzyme peel and finish your treatment with the nourishing Pumpkin Latte Hydration Masque to revitalize and hydrate your skin.

Not only will your skin feel great after this treatment, but the wonderful pumpkin smell from both products will perfectly prepare you for a nice slice of pumpkin pie. MMMMMMMM :) Warning: don’t eat the products…eat the pie! Enjoy!
