Saving Face

Winter can be harsh for those with the wonderful privilege of having super sensitive skin (cough, cough.. me), but lucky for me...it seems to be a hot topic for magazines and cosmetic brands once Thanksgiving hits. With a plethora of sites dedicated to showing me the superior way to prevent wrapping my face with a scarf all season, I've decided to share of few of my favorites with you.

Once a week for 20 minutes, sit in a hot bath that contains a handful of Epsom salts, 10 drops of lavender essential oil, and a half cup of baking soda. This combo draws out toxins, lowers stress-related hormones, and balances your pH levels.

A few other things I know:

• exfoliate your skin twice a week to prevent dry patches
• seal in moisture with a serum then a cream/lotion
• moisturize, moisturize, moisturize.
