Amazing Skin Hydrators to Get You Through the Winter

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

If your skin has been dehydrated or dry this winter, then I have some hero hydrators to share with you. It is important to note, however, that if you haven't modified your skincare routine from the warmer months of the year, then it is definitely time to do so. Rather than going out and purchasing all new products, begin by modifying what you have been using to address the needs of your skin during the colder months. Switch out your lighter face oil for a richer one, use a richer cream rather than a lighter lotion, and so on. The best advice that I can give is to assess the needs of your skin each day, and then choose products accordingly. This is how I approach my skincare every single day, and this fully customized approach is by far the best method that I have ever used.

It has pride of place on my vanity, and it gets used every single day!

About Amarte:

Amarte Skin Care was created by a dermatologist who wanted to introduce a new holistic approach to skin care, embracing the ancient Korean philosophy of a multi-step skin care ritual.  Amarte exceeds current U.S. standards of anti-aging treatments by using nanotechnology, a breakthrough formulation method that allows higher concentrations of retinol, purified elemental sulfur and natural actives to penetrate more deeply into skin for faster results, without irritation. With unique botanical ingredients like arbutin, argan oil and ginkgo biloba nut, the line brings out the clarity, beauty and brilliance of every person's skin.
