Nature and Beauty Meet Big Hearts — winter skincare routine

Can you relate to this? 

The weather is getting cooler ...

Your lips start feeling more dry than usual.

You add an extra layer of lip balm and find yourself re-applying more and more throughout the day.

One day you wake up and your lips feel rough and cracked.

You look in the mirror and notice your lips are peeling.

You panic, start scrubbing and it seems to only make it worse.

You're frustrated because they hurt and it feels like you deal with this struggle every year.

Here's the deal. 

The skin on our lips is very thin and when it is exposed to cold air outside and dry, centrally heated air inside, it can lose it's flexibility and become sore, cracked and scaly.

The solution? 

You want a lip care regimen that doesn't just moisturize, but also exfoliates, hydrates, increases the elasticity and adds a protective layer to prevent your lips from drying out.

That's why our Vitamin C Lip Care Trio is so special.

The Sugar + Marula Lip Scrub exfoliates your lips while leaving them moisturized.

The Sunflower + C Lip Repair hydrates while promoting collagen production to improve the elasticity of your lips. It also leaves an occlusive layer that prevents your lips from losing moisture. No more constant re-applying.

The Sangria + C Lip Tint also hydrates and improves the elasticity in your lips while bringing out the natural color in your lips.

This Lip Care Set is different. It's powerful and made with the sensitive skin on your lips in mind.

Apple Rose Beauty is committed to clean beauty with a cause. If you're new to clean, non-toxic beauty, transitioning to natural beauty is a process. You don't have to get it all right at once. Here are 3 simple steps to building an easy yet effective skincare routine:

1. BE PATIENT There might be a process that your skin will experience called purging. When changing your regimen, especially one that is following a regimen of products that contain toxins, your skin wants the nasty stuff out. You might see tiny white bump clusters appear.  As long as you're not experiencing a reaction like itching or burning, keep pushing. The purging will subside. 

2. HELP YOUR BODY HELP YOUR SKIN. What goes in the body is even more important than what you put on your body. Foods rich in Vitamin C, A & omega 3's can fight free radicals, reduce the signs of aging, rejuvenate cells for a healthy glow. I discussed in an earlier blog post how your diet effects your skin.

3. USE YOUR PRODUCTS IN THE RIGHT ORDER. Yup there's an order to this. There's a process that your skin goes through during your routine and using your products in the following order allows for the best absorption of skin loving ingredients for optimal results. 

• Cleanse
• Serum
• Moisturize

Just like the seasons change our skincare routine may also need a change. You should always pay attention to your skin's needs not just seasonally but all year round. The colder months bring low temperatures and rough winds which can bring about dry air and dry skin.
