6 Steps to Prep Your Skin for Spring


Thanks to Augusta Andrews of B. Barnett for sharing these great tips!

1.  Don't forget your feet!  It's time for some serious exfoliation.  When getting ready for sandal season, use a product that will instantly revitalize tired feet and reduce rough patches.  Sakura Silk is a great product with it's K-link complex which has natural soothing botanicals and plant extracts such as cherry leaf.

2.  You must exfoliate your lips!  Be careful not to use anything too abrasive as it can crack your lips.  Use a product like lip silk by Laura Mercier which is not only a natural exfoliator but a moisturizing product too.

3.  Slather on the face masks!  A moisturizing mask for your face is the one thing that will give you the extra boost of moisture you need.  Strivectin Dermal Infusion Mask will help to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.  This mask contains Nia-114 which is a compound that helps restore skin in days.

4.  Don't forget serums!  One of the most important skin care items anyone over 40 can use is a serum.  It can go deeper into the skin than moisturizer.  Murad Intensive Wrinkle Reducer with durian cell reform encourages cell turnover.

5.  Nourish nails!  During the winter season, nails and cuticles become dry.  Frequent hand washing compounds the problem for many.  Many great skin care lines carry nourishing oils that work great for both lips and cuticles/nails.

6.  Tonic water is great for your face as a refresher.  It can soothe your skin and, with some products, rehydrate skin and set your makeup.  Laura Mercier has Perfecting Water Moisture Mist from the dead sea that restores the skin.  La Prairie has Advanced Marine Biology Tonic which regenerates, brightens, and oxygenates the face.  These are both excellent options for maintaining glowing skin!
