Winter Beauty Tips: Vitamin E Cures All

A lot of women suffer from dry flakey skin once the temperature drops. The only way to bounce back is through hydration. Drinking water will help but definitely won’t solve the problem.

Apply a hydrating mask daily until you notice a turn around with your skin. In the meantime, apply Vitamin E oil daily to the infected area. Cococare 100% Vitamin E Oil is thick and sticky but delivers a complete 180 turn around in just one day.

Vitamin E is an antioxidant that protects and repairs your skin. Antioxidants are agents that neutralize the oxidant effect of free radicals, which are molecules that damage collagen and cause skin dryness, fine lines and wrinkles”

Cococare 100% Vitamin E Oil can be found at www.drugstore.com and retails around $7.


Karuna Hydrating Treatment Mask Review

Halloween is just 2 weeks away which reminds us that the holidays will be here in no time. Along with the holidays comes cold, dry weather and our skin undoubtedly suffers.

Sometimes your daily moisturizer just won’t cut it. Incorporating a hydrating mask into your weekly beauty routine will change your skin without question.

Karuna is a “east meets west” eco friendly skin care brand that uses traditional Asian influences, products, and ingredients.

The Karuna Hydrating Treatment Mask contains a unique blend of antioxidants and vitamins that replenishes and rejuvenates any skin type.

The instructions say to apply and “sit and let the magic happen” and they really mean it. The mask never dries or hardens. It says moist and clings to your face so talking, smiling, and doing things is kind of hard.

I applied mine and read a magazine - A nice 20 minute “relaxing moment” at the end of a long week. By the time I was done, I removed the mask and rubbed in the residue as instructed.

My skin was flaky and tight due to the climate change and now it’s soft and smooth. I will definitely incorporate these masks into my beauty routine this winter!
