Seasonal Tips - FACE CARE 

It is clearly Fall, and it is time we focus on different skin care for different seasons.  We’ll catch the good weather days as they come, making the most of them as we prepare for the colder winter days ahead.  This is a time when we think of both protecting and repairing our skin from harsh winter winds and dryness.  As the air outside changes we heat our homes drying the air inside.  We also wash our bodies and clothes in water that changes composition with the seasons as well.  We notice our skin begins to ask for special attention.  One person’s skin can be more resilient than others. It expands and contracts with environmental changes relatively easily.  However, most of us need more focused skin care with the winter’s changes.  

Here are three simple steps for winter skin care:

• Be sure to spend those few moments on your evening skin care regime.  It can be simple and your skin will show it’s appreciation.
   

  
  

• Use a moistening, conditioning cleanse. The Facial Cleansing Nectar is an oil based cleanse that is particularly nourishing and softening to the skin. To read more about the Qualities of the Perfect Cleanse go to: http://www.garden-of-eve.com/tab-perfect-facial-cleanse.htm
   

  
  

• Use your moisturizer crème (Wise Woman Emollient or Clearly Lovely Crème) while your skin is still moist with toner (Wise Woman toner or Clearly Lovely toner.) This will literally deliver more moisture and therapeutic ingredients deep into your pores. To read more about Why Use Toner go to: http://www.garden-of-eve.com/whyusetoner.htm

  
  

Seasonal Tips - HAND & BODY CARE 

Serious Hand and Body Repair is a must for dry cracked winter skin. I developed this formula last winter when my hands were like sand paper, my legs looked like alligator skin and my back would itch when any clothing touched it. After a few days of use my awareness was no longer focused on my winter skin.  Potters whose hands are dry from clay and men whose work causes dry, cracked skin rave about the effects of this cream.

"I have to say that your Serious Hand & Body Repair Cream is really amazing. My wife & I use it frequently and love it. Tonight after washing a million dishes by hand in scalding hot water without gloves, my hands were a wreck. In only two minutes or so after putting on the Serious Hand Cream, they felt perfect again. I've never had that happen with any other lotion I've used. It takes a surprisingly small amount to be effective. Also I love the scent. It is really invigorating; it always seems to make me more alert and energized."
