How to glow up- winter edition

Written By Stephanie Nascimento

Happy January Beauties! I cannot believe we are already in 2022, time flies. With the change of season, it’s very important to switch out your Skincare products to prevent dry, rough, flaking skin. Hydrating products are key to keep your skin moisturized, hydrated and youthful. Exfoliation is just as important; whether physical or chemical. Dry, dead skin needs to be buffed off to reveal new skin.

Over the past couple of months, I’ve been trying out a lot of different drugstore and high-end products and have discovered some Gems. In today’s blog post, i will talk about Skincare and Body products. Developing a skincare routine is so important to keep your skin in tip-top shape. Monthly Professional Facials are also very important to ensure your skin is getting a deep clean and your Esthetician uses products that will give you instant results. If you come to me for Facial, i have a backbar of Professional skincare products that will work very well in transforming your skin quickly.

I will list all of the products as well as the store links/ Amazon affiliate links that will bring you right to the product where you can purchase it.
