Winter is Tough, Especially on Facial Skin

Dana Point, California (February 20, 2013) - Skin Care By Alana (www.skincarebyalana.com) wants you to know that February is the cruelest month when it comes to your face and hands. Cold, dry air dries out the skin, causing rashes, itching and cracking on the face. Hands can become dry and cracked. Staying indoors doesn’t keep your skin safe. Heating systems can dry the skin as much as outdoor weather.

Because winter months are skin drying months, it’s important to drink plenty of water which helps hydrate the skin. It’s also important to use a humidifier at home and office to keep the skin well hydrated.

IT’s also important to change your skin care regimen when the seasons change. In winter months you should moisturize your skin more. “We recommend a number of Rhonda Allison products for winter skin protection,” says Alana Mitchell, CEO of Skin Care by Alana and a licensed esthetician.

After the skin is exposed to a day of cold weather, nighttime treatments can rejuvenate the skin. Start with Rhonda Allison Pumpkin Cleanser. Once the skin is clean, apply Rhonda Allison Pumpkin E Serum by massaging it into the skin for five minutes while taking a shower. For more hydration support, apply a Rhonda Allison Milk Mask for 20 minutes. Finish of your winter treatment with a blend of Rhonda Allison Essence Hydration Drops and Elite e ECF.

During the day, it’s important to protect the skin, not only from extreme temperature changes and dry weather, but also from sun damage. To do this, Skin Care by Alana recommends Image Skincare Daily Defense Tinted Moisturizer. All Image Skincare products are organically derived and created in an FDA certified laboratory.

Another great product for winter skincare is the Epicuren Inter Radiance Facial Kit. In addition to containing Epicuren Micro-Derm Exfoliating Cream, Epicuren Retinol Anti-Wrinkle Complex and Epicuren Ultima-Peptide Maximum Peptide Complex, the kit also contains Epicuren Zink Oxide SPF 20 Sunscreen.
