Mister Winter has finally come into town and he brought some pretty harsh winds and cold air with him. Did I mention he might be here until March? Hard to predict Mister Winter’s stay, but one thing is clear, those harsh conditions can do some serious damage to your skin. And just so we are clear, by skin, I mean everything from your face to your toes.

How To Winterize Your Skin

Cuticles

This is probably one area you never expected to get dry, cracking skin, right? If you do not care for your cuticles properly during winter, then your manicure is pointless. There are three ways to avoid dry cuticles:

• Hydration: Drink plenty of water!
• Avoid acetone-based nail polish remover.
• Bellezza Signature Manicure: Our trained aestheticians will soak your hands in a warm bath, trim the cuticles, buff the nails, exfoliate the skin, massage your hands and arms, and apply the polish of your choice.

Eyes

The skin around your eyes is quite delicate and must be handled with care. Here are two tips to beautiful under eyes:

• Hydration: Shocker, I know. Keep drinking plenty of fluids.
• Moisturize: Find a moisturizer that works for you and combats environmental damage. Tip: Be careful not to rub it or you will damage the blood vessels, which will cause dark circles around your eyes.

Limit Bath Tme

Even though a hot bath or long shower sounds perfect after braving the cold, it actually strips your body of its natural oils, which help lock moisture in. Here’s how to achieve soft skin:

• Hydration.
• Moisturize. Do not just moisturize after the shower, but at least twice a day.
• Seaweed Body Wrap. Remember when we discussed the amazing benefits of seaweed in our blog post “Seaweed—Not Just For Sushi?” Well, our full body Seaweed Mask harnesses the power of seaweed. It will encourage better circulation, eliminate toxins, and create softer/smoother skin.

Brush your Chapped Lips

Yes, you read that right. Use your toothbrush to gently massage away dead skin. Tip: For best results, do it after you brush your teeth when your skin is most receptive.

Limit Hand Sanitizer Usage

Yep, that wonderful invention is full of alcohol that dries your skin out quickly. Tip: If you must use it, then invest in a rich moisturizer to use afterwards.

Kiss that Water Bottle Goodbye!

While hydration is key, drinking from a water bottle can do some serious damage to those kissable lips! How? Well, every time you drink from the bottle, you end up leaving a few droplets of water on your lips. Tip: Try using lip balm after drinking from your bottle of water to combat dry lips.

Facial

Bellezza Spa offers an Intraceutical Oxygen Facial With Infusion, which is designed to target the triggers behind unwanted redness, itching and stinging. The soothing mask focuses on reducing inflammation while delivering a healthy dose of vitamins.
