LBS Beauty: Surviving the Winter 101

 

Beauty 101

Dry hair, ashy skin, peeling chapped lips – those are only a few from the laundry list of cold weather horrors we involuntarily succumb to every year. As winter up North shows no signs of winding down anytime soon, here are a few of our favorite products for battling the bitter cold & still maintaining your beauty regimen:

Beauty starts from the inside. Before we give you suggestions for products, here are some things you should be doing to maintain:

  • Drinking more water
  • Eating more fruits and vegetables
  • Getting enough rest and sleep
  • Routine workouts
  • Avoiding stress as mush as possible
  • Getting involved in hobbies that you enjoy
  • Surrounding yourself with positivity

But when the elements just won’t have it, we certainly have to keep our outer shine glowing as well!

Dry hair: The colder weather is a lot more abrasive on your skin so it is very important to keep your scalp moisturized as well as your hair. Make sure you(r):

  • Minimize the frequency and amount of heat you use on your hair.
  • Always use conditioner after you wash.
  • Hair products have little to no alcohol in it.
  • Use water based moisturizers to moisturize your hair.
  • Keep manipulation to a minimum.

Some great moisturizing hair products for varying hair types include:

Dry Skin & Feet: No matter how much lotion you put on, your skin never ceases to reverse right back to ashy! In this case, you’ll want to:

  • Use oil based moisturizers/lotions instead of water based ones.
  • Lotion & moisturize right out the shower while your skin is still damp.
  • Use humidifiers periodically throughout your home to add more moisture in the air.
  • Switch to a milder soap infused with moisturizing properties.
  • Also make sure your products have little to no alcohol in it.
  • Finally put your pride aside and buy the “Ped-Egg” it totally works. 3 times a week after a nice warm shower or bath, get to workin’ on those feet.

Chapped & Peeling Lips: We cannot tell you how many times we’ve cringed coming across very crusty lips on the streets on NYC. People, it is not rocket science!

  • Please use chap-stick and lip balm, always!
  • Just as you exfoliate the rest of your body, don’t forget those lips. Take a warn rag to your lips and scrub in a circular motion.
