Glowing skin tips:

1. Moisturize Your Face

Before creating your glowing winter makeup look, you need to focus on moisturizing your skin. Skin that is flaking and dry won’t hold onto to makeup very well, which is why we recommend using a moisturizer before applying makeup or even if you are not applying makeup do use a mositurizer.

2. Moisturize Your Body

Beauty and care tips are not only for the face but also for the body. In order to keep your body nourished apply a rich and hydrating body cream when the weather drops below 50 degrees.

3. Drink more water

Usually in winters we don't feel much thirsty but our body needs a specific amount of water. Do not miss the regular intake of water. Set an alarm if you tend to forget every time. Water helps a lot to get a glowing skin and this is the truth.

Don’t Forget Your Hair

A really hot shower feels so good on a cold weather day. But if you want to care for your scalp, you should turn the temperature of your shower down. Hot water is neither good for your skin or your hair.

Now you can have happy and joyful winters!
