This time of year it is very imporant to keep your skin moisturized.  Cold weather really dries your skin and can cause breakage that just doesn’t look good.  We’ve put together a list of some Winter Must-Haves to get you through this dry, cold time in your lives. 

Lips

In cold weather, lips have a tendency to dry and “crack”.  It is imporant to keep lips hydrated with lip balms or you can also use a lip shimmer or gloss to add some sparkle. 

Our Favorites:

Burt’s Bees Beeswax Lip Balm 

How it Works

Give your lips the soothing feeling they deserve. This natural lip balm is loaded with coconut and sunflower oils, rich in vitamins and essential fatty acids, to nourish, condition and soften lips. Beeswax seals in hydration. We’ve even added peppermint oil for a refreshing tingle.

How to Use It

Apply balm liberally to your lips as often as needed, particularly in dry, cold or windy conditions.

Featured Ingredient

Beeswax — A natural wax made by bees in the cell walls of honeycombs, this substance is a natural emulsifier used in cosmetics.

Hands

Just like lips, hands tend to get extremely dry and crack during the winter months.  For extremely dry hands, we recommend the Borghese Spa Mani Restoring Gloves.  For your normal dry hands, we recommend hand lotions.
