Every winter we lament our wan skin. This year we're taking preventative measures. Here, the seven tips we swear by:
1. Water. Most women try to consume two liters per day but according to the Mayo Clinic, "no single formula fits everyone." Know your body.
2. Omega-3 Fish Oil. We started taking the softgels and noticed that it gave our skin a dewy sheen. Read about the benefits of this miracle oil here. Our favorite brand: Nordic Naturals.
3. Pure Oxygen Hydrating Mask. Plump and nourish your skin with this incredible mask from Luzern. It gives skin a glow that will make your friends wonder.
4. Cream Body Wash. Soap is drying so we use an organic cream body wash to retain moisture. Apply with a natural bristle brush to cleanse and exfoliate.
5. Hair Oil. Hair gets dry during the winter so use a thick conditioner and keep locks hydrated with Moracconoil, our secret weapon for perfect hair days.
6. Major Moisturizer. We step up our body moisturizer in the winter by layering an organic balm like Kerry's Miracle Salve beneath a lighter lotion like Fresh Sugar Lychee.
7. Extra Winks. Go to bed one hour earlier than usual and you'll be a fresher beauty.

Luzern Natural Skin Care products are free of harmful parabens, formaldehyde-based preservatives, perfume and colorants. Best of all, they leave our skin looking flawless and fresh and like we just might be on a macrobiotic diet (we're not). We especially love the
Cleansing Gelee,
V12 Serum and the
Force De Vie Pure Oxygen Creme.

We love lathering up with
Pangea Organics Pyrenees Lavendar with Cardamon gel and soap, but hold on that's not all they have.
Pangea Organics offer a wide range of bodycare products including a skincare line made from whole herbal extracts that refresh and nourish our delicate facial skin.

Things that make us happy: cocktails, cocktails and more cocktails. Hold the vodka please and no olives, thank you. We’re opting in favor of
the Cool Lychee Wa from SircuitSkin. It’s a pleasing concoction of green tea plant extracts, lychee and mangosteen--a queen so powerful that even RuPaul must succumb. Eliminate fine lines, protect your layers from moisture loss and find yourself absolutely rich…with anti-oxidants. This lovely little mask keeps your weathered wintry dermis super quenched as it promotes ultimate hydration sans preservatives or parabens. We hate to say “I told you so,” but a lychee cocktail a day, keeps the botox doctor away.
