The Secret to Sexy Skin

The Secret to Sexy Skin

Posted by Taylor Stevens Salon & Spa

Summer is in full swing and with it comes revealing clothes, swimsuits, and sunshine, but it shouldn't include dry skin. Fun in the sun, long hot showers or time at the pool and beach can be really harsh on your skin, stripping it of its natural oils. Without these oils, skin is likely to crack and become itchy, tight, and dry. Sometimes, even smiling can hurt! Save yourself the pain and embarrassment of summer dry skin by treating it with Aveda.
The secret solution to rehydrating dry skin is out and it's in Aveda's Botanical KineticsTM - for dry skincollection. Other soaps and cleansers are composed of harsh chemicals that break down the skin's natural oils, but not Aveda's. This daily care regimen has a gentle purifying creme cleanser that uses an extra-mild formula to remove makeup, dirt and other impurities, leaving skin feeling revitalized and ready to take on the world.
For a burst of refreshment, use the Botanical KineticsTM skin firming/toning agent. This hydrating mist cools skin using a beautiful blend of Echinacea and rosewater to restore moisture balance. The Echinacea acts as a mild astringent, closing pores after cleansing, while the rosewater works to restore pH levels and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Seal in the moisture and the benefits of the toner by immediately following up with the Botanical KineticsTM hydrating lotion. Nurturing your skin comes naturally with this quick-absorbing lotion. It contains emollients derived from coconut, jojoba and other naturally-derived ingredients that replenish moisture. Enriched with a chamomile and lavender blend, this moisturizer leaves skin feeling soft, supple and comfortable -- so go ahead and smile!
Stress is another factor that can take its toll on your skin. Relax at home and recreate your own spa day. Once a week or when you can find 5-10 minutes to spare in your summer schedule, give your face some extra TLC and pamper yourself with Aveda's Intensive Hydrating Masque. With a surge of moisturizing aloe, kelp, lavender and rosewater, this oil-free masque soothes, cools, and leaves skin feeling hydrated and replenished.
To treat extra dry, stressed out skin, add a couple of drops of Aveda's Balancing InfusionTM to any Aveda cleanser, moisturizer or masque. This highly-concentrated blend of pure flower and plant essences helps rehydrate skin and normalize the production of natural oils. Enriched with jasmine, plant ceramides, patchouli and ylang ylang oils, this infusion helps energize, moisturize and soothe dry, irritated skin.
Now don't forget about those lips. Dry, flaky lips are the worst, especially for summer lip-locking and tongue-wrestling. Nurture your lips with Aveda's Lip SaverTM. This botanical balm delivers lasting moisture relief with nature's antioxidants and natural waxes that help seal in moisture. Apply liberally as needed for soft, smooth, kissable lips. Pucker up!
The secret to sexy summer skin is out and it's all about hydration! Soft, supple, kissable skin can be yours with Aveda.
