Winter and cold weather is tough on women's skin. Here are some tips on what you can do today! - A Beauty Blog from Nancy, the Avon Lady of New Jersey

Here are some helpful tips to protect your skin this Winter by Avon:

Instead of reaching for a thicker moisturizers when the air turns drier, try using light layers of protective products instead. Start off with a creamy cleanser (I suggest ANEW REVERSALIST Renewal Foaming Cleanser) that leaves skin supple.

Then apply a hydrating serum (I suggest ANEW GENICS Treatment Concentrate) to give your skin a good burst of moisture. Genics is made with Avon’s Youthgen Technology. Serum will help prevent dehydration and provide your skin with extra protection & nourishment.

Top this off with a good moisturizer (I suggest taking the FREE Skincare Quiz to find the right ANEW day cream and night cream based on your concerns) to seal in the watery goodness. Don’t forget sun protection! Even at this time of year, it’s important to use skin care products with SPF even if it seems unnecessary on those dark winter mornings. All of the ANEW day creams contain SPF25 so there’s no need to use a separate product.

It’s also important to exfoliate at this time of year — this helps your serum to sink into your skin & anything you put onto it will be better absorbed if you’ve sloughed off the dead skin cells in preparation. The ANEW CLINICAL Advanced Retexturizing Peel is a perfect product that complements the rest of the Anew skincare range. It peels away dullness and visible age damage so healthier looking skin can surface.

Don’t forget your hands! The cold air will dry them out so you’ll need to make sure you remember the hand cream. Why not carry one around in your hand bag? The Skin So Soft range has a selection of great value hand creams. The SKIN SO SOFT WINTER SOFT + Hydroseal Complex Hand Cream is formulated to protect skin from winter’s elements. It moisturizes for 24+ hours, bsorbs quickly, leaving skin feeling silky smooth. It is scented with white jasmine & sandalwood, and is made with babassu oil, shea butter & vitamin E.

Final Tip: Try to take your skincare with you! This way if you find your skin drying out during the day you have your moisturizer in your handbag. Many Avon products are such great value and come in trial size that make buying a second moisturizer won’t break the bank!
