Winterizing You

Yes, it is true that those beautiful fall days are coming to an end. Now that the clocks have fallen back and it is getting dark early, we are quickly approaching those cold winter months.  This time of  year can really take a toll on your skin especially your body. 

Are you wondering what you can do to prevent dry cracked skin this winter? 

Fear not VIVIANE has the answers!

Chapped Lips:

·        Drink plenty of water

·        Always have something on your lips (especially when you are outdoors) whether it is our Lip Pro SPF 15 Vitamin E lip protector or one of Conditioning Lip Color lipsticks.

·        Refrain from licking your lips – although it offers temporary relief it only makes your chapped lips worse

Cracked Heels:

• Repair them while you sleep – apply our Healing Body Balm Moisturizer generously on your heels and cover with cotton socks.  Try this for 3 nights in a row and you will see a great improvement.
• Don’t forget to moisturize your feet when you come out of the shower.

Dry Hands:

• Make sure to use moisturizer after washing your hands – which can take a toll on your hands and really dry them out.
• Intensive Repair - slather with our Healing Body Balm Moisturizer and sleep in cotton gloves to bring them back to life.

Tight Dry Facial Skin:

• Add a boost to your skin care regimen – use our Facial Activator in addition to your Moistrio™ system.  Use it after your moisturizer and before your Hydra Moist to get that soft supple glow back.
• Don’t forget the sunscreen – just because it is cold and you can’t see the sun doesn’t mean that it is not there.  Protect your skin with our Save Face SPF 30™ to keep your skin looking younger.

Scaly Body:

• Take shorter showers – according to Web MD long hot showers can actually draw water from your skin.  As appealing as a hot shower is on a cold winter morning, lukewarm water is a better choice. It won’t strip away the skin’s natural oils.
• Apply body lotion to damp skin – pat dry after coming out of the shower and apply your moisturizer immediately.  It will help your body retain its own moisture. Try one of our scented body lotions.
• Repair really dry skin – use our Aloe Vera Skin Repair Gel as a rescue remedy.
• Bundle up – try to keep skin covered up especially as you head outside

Here’s to a soft and supple new you.
