Have you noticed your skin is a little dull recently, maybe even dry and flakey?
Winter in Arizona is very dry and according to Zethina, owner of Zethina Cosmetics, your ‘normal everyday’ moisturizers might not be emollient enough for you.
Great products to try are Vivifiying Face Cream $86.50 or Dry Skin Face Cream $58.00.
For exfoliation Zethina suggests Bio Gommage Soft Face Bio-Peeling ($81). She says it will not only gently exfoliate your skin but it will help with cellular turnover for softer, brighter and more radiant skin.
Zethina says you can also give your regular moisturizer a 'boost' with Oligio ($75), it will help your cream work better for you. She says it is a very effective anti-oxidant that protects against pollution and stress rendering a firmer more hydrated skin.
Another option is Regenerating Oil ($67.50), Zethina says the non-greasy formula will generate new cells while providing rich lipid supplements to the skin.
When applying makeup, Zethina says you need to make sure you have a silky canvas to work with. She suggests you try a smoothing make-up prep such as Fringe Benefit ($42), to create help your makeup look more youthful and flawless.
Dry lips can be unbearable, to get a smooth smooch, Zethina suggests Sara Happ Lip Scrub ($24). Use it once a day for soft, subtle lips.
Also try Sara Happs Lip Silk ($24), apply anytime for smooth hydrated lips! Remember lip color does not look very pretty over dry, flakey lips!
When choosing a lipstick in the winter, Zethina says instead long wearing and very matte lipstick formulas, which can be drying, reach for moisturizing creamy formulas.
Don’t let dry flakey legs and arms keep you from wearing your favorite little black dress! Zethina says body scrubs are an essential part of keeping your body radiant and smooth.
Try Farm House Fresh Whipped Honey, Sweet Cream or Sugared Maple Scrubs ($32), or soak in a bath with Farm House Fresh Nectar or Blueberry Bath Soak ($28).
The bath soak contains Lactic Acid (derived from milk) and Chicory Root to sooth and calm irritated skin.
