As the weather turns, the temperatures dip and the days get darker, there is an undeniable change in your skin. When the weather outside is frightful, how do you keep your skin looking and feeling delightful?

The cold kiss of winter frigidity and the warm contrast of dry indoor heating can leave your complexion, arms, legs, and hands suffering with dryness and irritation. With smart adjustments to your skincare routine, you will develop a winter skincare ritual to ensure your skin stays healthy, bright, and beautiful throughout the season.

Sleigh all day while putting your freshest face forward:

Setting the stage: The MYSTIQ iLuminating Cleanser is the perfect product to carry away makeup, dirt, and grime without disrupting the delicate barrier function. Mastiha, a powerful brightening and anti-inflammatory ingredient, also works to strengthen the skin’s immune function while plant stem cells and powerful antioxidants strengthen compromised defenses. This effective creamy cleanser sets the stage for strong, hydrated skin.

Polishing with purpose: The MYSTIQ iLuminating Polisher is the perfect winter exfoliating product as it removes dry, dead skin cells while hydrating and delivering anti-inflammatory power ingredients. Mastiha resin and shea shell powder exfoliate as bearberry, mulberry, and mandelic acid brighten and smooth. Loaded with antioxidants, this polishing perfector also includes healing colloidal silver and gold which strengthen the skin’s immune function.

All is calm, all is bright: The MYSTIQ iLuminating Beauty oil is laden with calming, hydrating, and protecting properties that will ensure your skin is supple and strong enough to handle any weather condition. Lipid soluble vitamin C (BV-OSC), baobab and hemp seed oils, and of course, mastiha, brighten and protect. Use as a stand-alone moisture staple, or add a few drops to your favorite hydrator (BIO Lift, BIO Caviar, or PRO Retinol Crèmes are great) to customize a corrective moisture level that is as unique as you!

Mistletoe ready: Baby, it’s cold outside, but things may be heating up indoors with the help of BB Lip Balm. It is the perfect product to secure a perfectly kissable pout, whether you are caught under the mistletoe, or desire that soft, supple, and smooth New Year’s kiss.

Walking in a winter wonderland with healthy skin below the chin: YES! Your entire body is covered and protected by your skin and it deserves careful attention, all year round, but especially in the winter.

Slough and shine: The SPA Body Brightening Cleanser is perfect for the winter months. As glycolic acid encourages healthy cell turnover while papyrus plant stem cells help to lock in moisture, this full body cleanser is a perfect product for kindling a winter glow, but also to combat aging of the hands, décolleté, neck, arms, and legs. (TIP – for extra exfoliation, add in the SPA Body Smoothing Scrub and its coconut sugary, papyrus plant stem cells goodness twice a week)

Deck your body with plenty of moisture: The SPA Silk Soufflé body butter is a full body moisturizer and anti-aging power product. Kukui, Coconut, and Rosa Canina oils soften and smooth as silk and papyrus plant stem cells hold in moisture. Lipid soluble vitamin C and CO-Q10 antioxidants fight free radical assault and will have everyone guessing, not just how old you are, but what your secret age-fighting routine is!

Healthy, Helping Hands: Busy hands are a playground for bacteria and dryness. After washing, use a few drops of the SPA Body Nourishing Oil, loaded with healing oils and free radical fighting lipid soluble vitamin C, to lock in valuable moisture and calm irritation. When you’re out and about, it is important to continue to fight germ and harmful microbe population. Powered with MASQ-tech™, the HEALTH Hand Sanitizer is a hydrating, germ-fighting staple and comes in a handy 2 oz purse/car console size!

Layers of protection: A winter skin routine is not complete without shielding from the elements. The SPF Solar Shield 30 Hydrating is the answer to not just protecting your face, but your delicate hands, neck, and chest, too! Zinc Oxide shields while peptides, anti-inflammatories, and antioxidants protect and repair. As you layer up to face the cold, don’t forget to protect all areas that may be exposed!

A few slight season tweaks to your skin care routine will keep your skin happy and healthy all year round. Winter can be one of the harshest times our skin faces, but when your skin is hydrated, healthy, and protected, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
