Caution: Winter Skin health care











Keeping skin smooth and supple is a task in fall/winter seasons. Avoid dry patches from drinking lots of water and exfoliate 2-3 times a week depending on skin type and age. Dry/combination skins would do a little less than oily/combinations. Younger girls less than 25 should keep the routine once a week however after 25 I wouldn't suggest skipping the routine especially if they put makeup everyday.

Exfoliation helps cleanse the skin from dirt stuck in your pores. It is beneficial for the body and face. However on the face always use an exfoliator which has micro particles.
Never use any scrub or exfoliator with big particles on face, it uses a lot of pressure which your face does not need and large scrubbing particles ruin the layer of skin and end up harming your skin on the long run.

The Body Shop's Vitamin C collection includes the Microdermabrasion exfoliator which contains vitamin C rich Amazonian camu with shea butter. This exfoliator has small particles which is great for the face. The smell is refreshing and the feel after use is like a baby's bottom. This is a great in home treatment.

Just warm your face by putting a warm cloth towel over and then take two pea size amount on finger tips with small amount of water and start exfoliating. Do use more if needed especially neck area front and back.
5 minutes is good then wash your face, the results are amazing.
Moisturize your skin with the Vitamin C face cream for added protection and keeping the moisture locked.

Vitamin C is known to refresh dull and dry skin and since the no makeup look is on trend this is a must have product.

D.I.Y: Smooth and fresh face

Hello,
Lemon+sugar

I recently saw a video about a face cleansing mix by Kandee Johnson (MUA+Youtube guru). She soaked the cotton pad in lemon juice and puts sugar on it.

According to her it helped getting rid of black heads and takes off the dead skin.

I really enjoyed trying this quick mix. Do try it over your sink so all the sugar granules fall in the sink and you don't end up making a mess else where.

Do wash your face from warm water first and then start gently massaging the mix on face and neck.

Clean it from a wet wash cloth. My skin felt so smooth and soft especially my neck area. 

I recommend trying it once a week but not on sun tan/burnt skin(lemon is acidic it might react).

Take care and join me!
