Have you ever dreaded walking through the perfume counter at a department store because the scents stick with you for hours? Get a headache after being smacked in the face by a myriad of scents at a skin care or candle store? Ugh. We use essential oils. They're pure, they're what your nose knows, they remind us of the good things around us and they bring peace.
Did you notice that most of the moisturizers on the market use water as a base? While water is a staple of our diets, it does nothing on the surface of our skin. We use Aloe Vera Juice....the benefits are endless! You can google for yourself. :-)
Well, let's start with what we know. The skin around your eyes is different than the rest of your face. It's thinner (reason to celebrate?) and more delicate. It therefore is more susceptible to all those environmental factors that impact how we look. Add some not so favorable genetics to the mix and you've got a hot mess. The big brands take advantage of all of this and put lots of fancy (or fancy sounding) ingredients in their products, charge you a premium AND make the jar so small you can barely stick your pinky in it. Not so here at 3Sistas. Quite honestly, we goofed. We thought 2 oz. sounded like very little, but it's more than twice...
How do we remedy the impact the winter weather has on our skin?
Stay hydrated
Use a heavier moisturizer (Give Xtra Layer a try!)
Add some humidity to the air in your home
Skip the toner...for now!
My husband got his first ever facial recently. We've come full circle - from spittin' chiklets on the ice, to warm face towels and fancy red lights. He suffers from lots of "congestion"...no, not the nose kind, but the pore kind. He was convinced his skin was oily - to the contrary, it's rather dry. So, after lots of unpleasant "congestion removal" he's turned a new leaf (or layer of skin) and is a believer. Yes, we welcome men to the sistahood.
