Is it just us, or does each passing year seem to get busier and busier? Sometimes busy is good, however, we have noticed that it is starting to affect our waistlines, hips, arms, face, and a whole lot of other parts. Boo!!!

Thinking it’s about time for a skincare change up? You’re right. Your skin needs in the winter season are much different from what you might need in the summer, fall, and spring. This is because of so many different factors, from the wind blowing in your face to having to deal with heaters in a home. If you find that your skin is looking a bit drier than usual, getting a little patchy, or noticing that fine lines are forming at a much higher rate than normal, we definitely suggest incorporating different products into your skincare routine. Oz Naturals uses nature to help rejuvenate skin. In their products they use ingredients such as rose hip, spirulina, and sea kelp to create their unique formulas. For this...

If you have noticed a difference in your skin, you’re not the only one. The winter weather can really dry out your skin. We start to notice it when our lips start to get chapped and all of a sudden we look in the mirror and notice that there is a bit of patchy foundation on our face. When skin dries out, the dead skin can actually begin to clog pores as well. In addition to the patchiness, you might also notice a crop of pimples, blackheads, or whiteheads starting to form. Keep your skin supple, smooth, and soft by simply exfoliating. As always, all of these products are cruelty free.   dermalogica Daily Microfoliant, $55 It’s so gentle that it is to be used daily!

With the holidays comes a lot of traveling. If you plan on flying somewhere, you may be dreading the effects of how air travel can wreck havoc on your skin. A short flight can have some people landing with patchy skin, oily skin, or even a crop of new zits that come out of nowhere. To make it worse, you’re traveling to see people that you probably don’t normally see, and want to look your absolute best. Making a once or twice a year impression on them with a fresh breakout is incredibly annoying, especially if family photos will be taken. There are a few things that you can do to help prevent unexpected skin issues when flying. 1. Hydrate There is very low humidity in a plane cabin, which...
