Get regular facials to stay moisturized

To keep your skin looking beautiful this winter, get regular facials to stay moisturized. Cold weather can deplete the moisture in your skin, causing it to flake and feel dry and tight.

Felice Rivera-Puppe, an esthetician at Dolce Salon & Spa at Arrowhead, recommends the La Mia Pella Dolce facial.

"One of the advantages of the La Mia Pella Dolce facial is that it works beautifully for dry, dehydrated skin," Rivera-Puppe said. "This facial nourishes and moisturizes, bringing that tightness and bounce back into your skin that the winter takes away."

Eminence organic skincare products are used in this hydrating facial, which is great for mature or dry skin types. First, your esthetician will prepare your skin with a soothing lemon cleanser and lightly exfoliate with a rosehip and maize masque.

After that, extractions are done to remove blackheads and impurities in the skin. Next, a chocolate masque is applied. This hydrating, anti-oxidant-rich masque smells good enough to eat!

Your esthetician will then apply a cherry masque, which contains Vitamin C. Vitamin C is great for rebuilding and restoring the hydration capacity of your skin, and keeping it looking youthful. A rich moisturizer is applied to finish the treatment.

For dry, cracked lips, add on a lip treatment!  The lip treatment includes a citrus papaya exfoliating masque, a cinnamon plumping masque and a citrus lip balm. The citrus lip balm is so hydrating that it can be used by itself all winter!
