As the weather changes and becomes colder our skin changes too.
With less moisture and humidity keeping our skin more hydrated, the dry air and harsh winds can take a toll on our faces especially sensitive skin. No matter what your age, skin care should be an important part of maintenance kind of like brushing our teeth. It just has to be done if we want healthy glowing skin.
Below are a few of my favourite product suggestions based on normal-dry skin types.

Cetaphil
Gentle Skin Cleanser
As gentle as it gets
Cetaphil® Gentle Skin Cleanser is great for
daily makeup removal. Originally formulated for dermatologists, this cleanser is gentle on your skin and sensitive to your skin’s needs. Cetaphil® Gentle Skin Cleanser will not strip the skin of natural protective oils or emollients, or disturb the skin’s natural pH balance. This dermatologist-recommended cleanser is fragrance-free and non-comedogenic. Cetaphil® Gentle Skin Cleanser is gentle enough for children, teens and adults.
"Yep.. With all the fancy expensive cleansers out there this is by far the best one out there for all skin types. If you have really oily skin try the Cetaphil cleanser for oily skin. It's not going to foam up and dry your skin out. The very light creamy texture that will remove the day's dirt and grime while not stripping your skin's natural PH. I do find that if I am wearing heavy makeup removing it first with a wipe works best."

ST. Ives
Sensitive face scrub
Non-Irritating • Dermatologist Tested • 100% Natural Exfoliants • 100%
Natural Extracts • Formulated without parabens and phthalates • Made without animal ingredients.
APRICOTS -are known to contain one of the highest levels of carotenoids (think vitamin A) and super-effective antioxidants. All of this natural powermight seem, well, too powerful, but they are actually quite gentle and nourishing.
CORN KERNEL MEAL- is actually flour ground from dried corn. It's a soft, but gently powerful all-natural exfoliant that promotes skin cell turnover and regeneration. Cornmeal makes softer-feeling, fresher skin possible.
WALNUT- is known for its hard shell, but when it's ground, it becomes an amazingly effective, all-natural exfoliant ingredient in our scrubs. Not only are walnuts plentiful on the planet, they also help newer, healthier skin come to the surface
"I have been using this face scrub for years, it's not expensive and does what it's supposed to do!! It's quite grainy so I only use it once a week and when I do my skin is so thankful. It takes a dead layer of skin off so your moisturizers can actually penetrate your skin. And they come in different types so if you have acne prone skin they also have one with salicylic acid. But my advice "DO NOT" rub any scrub over a blemish that is open. Why? Because it will spread the bacteria over your face creating new blemishes on your skin. So scrub around any blemishes you have that are open."

- I have been using it on my clients and myself for over a year, and everyone I use it on loves it myself included. My skin is quite sensitive and my skin loves this moisturizer. I also found it wasn't too heavy during the summer either because I usually switch to something light when its hot out but it was great. A small dime size amount and my skin is super soft and ready for makeup. At night it helps remove stubborn makeup around my eyes. If you are going to be travelling for any length of time, take this and you'll have your moisturizer, primer and remover all in one.

Garnier-
Anti-Wrinkle Firming Eye Contour Cream
A cream containing natural ingredients including dermo-relaxing ginger, and other powerful nutrients to help restore firmness and elasticity. Perfume free and ophthalmologically tested, it is gentle around the delicate eye area and promotes cell regeneration, helping to firm delicate skin and visibly reduce wrinkles
"In my opinion there is no miracle eye cream. Its all about hydrating the under eye area so that it puffs out fine lines that we may have, and if puffiness is the issue then opt for a gel like under eye cream that has caffeine or cucumber in it that will help de-puff the under eye. In the end its not worth the money spending hundreds on an eye cream because it is only a quick fix, its not going to actually fix under the eye. Also something else to keep in mind. Use an eye cream rather than a regular face moisturizer, because its made specifically for the eye area. Most face moisturizers are too heavy for under the eye area where the skin is much more sensitive and thin. Keep the texture light and be gentle with your index finger dabbing on your eye cream. If you see white spots on or under your eye area its usually because the moisterizer you are using is too heavy for that area."
