With normal change of seasons, along with the drastic raising and lowering of temperatures on an
inconsistent basis, your skin may be stressed out. Are you noticing an unusual dry or flaky texture? A tighter feeling on your face? Or maybe you got too much sun exposure on a beautiful day outside, then on the next day, your skin may just need more hydration. There are so many ways to sense how your skin is doing on your face and body! Listening to those hints helps immensely. Noticing how tight your skin feels after you take a shower, before any face products are applied is your first clue. If you have any of these issues, follow the links below for product suggestions to combat those issues. Or, if you have a favorite product, share it with me!

​Flaky Texture: If you aren’t  using a chemical or physical exfoliant (topical products containing benzoyl peroxide, salisylic acid, glycolic acid, or enzymes such as pumpkin, papaya and pineapple). It may be time to invest!  These products fight skin flakiness and or textured skin.
