It’s basically a beauty fact that harsh winter weather wrecks havoc on your hair and skin – and your beauty regime in general. It hasn’t even been that cold and snowy here in New York this past winter, but my skin has still been dry, flakey, and dull. My hair has suffered as well – the chilly hair is making it dry and just kind of blah. I’ve even gotten into a rut with my makeup. When I’m so focused on dressing to stay warm, it’s hard for me to have time to change up my routine. And I know I’m not alone! That’s why I had to tell you guys about these life-changing beauty products you HAVE to try before spring.

When the leaves start to change in the fall, it’s a good indicator that you have to make some other changes in your life too. The air gets a little crisper, the sun goes down earlier and the temperature starts to drop. All of that means you have to start preparing for colder weather. Sometimes winter can really sneak up on us, but most of the time we have a little leeway that allows us to transition our beauty routine slowly...
I really like winter because of the great holidays, cozy sweaters and seasonal flavors. There’s just something about winter that’s very magical. That is, except the weather. If you’re fortunate enough to live somewhere warm, congratulations! If not, then I feel for you. I suffered two absolutely brutal winters in New York, and my skin and hair paid the price for it. I’m back in the South now, but it still gets pretty cold come December. The bottom line is that winter isn’t good for your beauty routine unless you’re prepared.
