With Punxsutawney Phil seeing his shadow and thus giving us 6 more weeks of winter, we beauties should use this time to our advantage! That gives us 6 more weeks to slough off our winter skin and reveal a fresh and new Spring sensation! Try out these products and tips from your favorite beauty blogger to scrub away winter and be sundress wearing ready in no time!
First, let’s start with the window to your soul. Well, more accurately, your first impression. I’m talking about your beautiful face! Winter can cause dryness and dull looking skin, so the best way to combat that is to apply a scrubby face mask. A favorite of the buffs at Planet Beauty is the heavy hitting Glam Glow mud mask! This incredible product tingles when you apply it to your face, and as it dries it hardens. Try to stay quiet—you don’t want to crack your face! Drying time can take up to 15 minutes, and when you rinse, use warm water and scrub in circular motions (careful around your eyes!) to reveal noticeably smoother, softer, glowing skin! Another miracle smoother comes from the Philosophy line of feel good products. The Microdelivery Purifying Peel uses enzymes to gently smooth away dead skin cells and oil to leave you with radiant, glowing skin. Simply apply to clean, dry skin, avoiding the delicate eye area. Leave it on for 1 to 3 minutes, as tolerated, then rinse thoroughly. Score yours today at any Planet Beauty store and see your skin look fresh as a daisy in no time!
To smooth out your rockin’ body, try a few of these scrubbies! From the New York based powerhouse spa company Bliss comes the revolutionary “Fat Girl Scrub” from the line of “Fat Girl Slim” products. This scrub promotes circulation through exfoliation and massage, helps reduce accumulation of stagnant fluids that contribute to lumps and bumps, and sloughs off dead skin cells that may be blocking the penetration of other products applied after. Keep it in your shower and rub-a-dub-dub at least once a week! Check out Bliss’ line of Fat Girl Slim products for other cellulite busting creams to use with this scrub! Another sweet treat for shower time is LaLicious sugar soufflé scrubs! This unique sugar scrub exfoliates, moisturizes and smoothes your skin to perfection! An incredible combination of oils and cane sugar is whipped together to provide vitamins, minerals and proteins essential to maintaining beautiful youthful skin. Only the finest natural ingredients that you could find in your kitchen make up this fantastic scrub: cane sugar, coconut oil, sweet almond oil, essential and fragrance oils, vitamin e oil, soybean oil and honey. Your skin will feel smooth, soft, and refreshed until tomorrow and beyond!
Finally, your feet take a beating! Between being squeezed into your fabulous heels and being exposed to the elements in sandals, your heels could probably use a break! Try scrubbing your dogs with Deborah Lippmann “Soul Mission,” a cosmeceutical grapefruit crystal scrub for supple, sexy feet. This crystal grapefruit scrub repairs cracked, dry, rough heels by simultaneously exfoliating and hydrating. The antioxidant scrub encourages healthy collagen protection and production while deeply moisturizing and revitalizing feet. For especially rough heels, try “Get Off,” Lippmann’s powerful callus removing gel. Apply to affected areas, wait 5 minutes, and then scrub off with a pumice stone. Follow up with “Steppin’ Out” foot cream. Rich ingredients deeply hydrate, thoroughly condition, provide antioxidant protection and rapidly soothe the most overworked soles. After one application, feet are touchably soft and noticeably smoother – rough, dry skin disappears on contact. This blogger likes to indulge tired heels and toes nightly and put cotton socks on over the lotion for smooth sailing come morning!
