Winter skin care

Here in Michigan, changing seasons means our skins needs change. The winter can be a difficult time to maintain glowing, moisturized skin, but the tips below can certainly help! 

Drink water. I know you've heard this a thousand times, but there are so many benefits besides just keeping you hydrated. You can also try swapping your morning coffee for green tea. The bonus is you can use a pretty reusable water bottle to drink from!

Use a humidifier. Turning on the furnace means very dry air. I love my humidifier in the winter! It helps keep my skin from drying out by putting moisture back in the air. I definitely notice a difference when I don't use it.

Replace your light weight moisturizer for a heavier cream. Help your guests change up their skin care routine, by showing them new products. I usually have summer and winter skin and hair care, so be sure your guests know it is a good idea to switch it up! It is not something a lot of people think about!

Limit your shower and bath time and use cooler water. This can be a hard one to do. Especially after a really cold day! However, the heat of the water can really dry out and irritate skin. Try making your water just a tad cooler and use a moisturizing soap or body wash.

Lastly, if your salon offers skin care products or services be sure your guests know about them! Inform them on the best products to use during cold months and offer services geared toward seasonal changes.

Happy flourishing!

Cold and flu season is here! Working closely with so many people, it can be a challenge to avoid getting sick this time of year. Below are a few tips to help you stay healthy this winter. Keeping healthy is so important because, if we are not behind the chair, we are not making money! Wash your hands...often! Doing shampoos makes this one pretty easy, but remember to wash your hands throughout the day as well. Clean your station at the beginning and end of your shift. Wipe down the chair and tools you used that day. Don't touch your face. This helps with skincare too of course! Eat healthy. Feed your body the vitamins it needs for a healthy immune system. Get plenty of sleep. Sleep deprivation can weaken the immune system. Relax. Do more of what helps you stress-less.
