Skincare 101: The Best Way to Use Hyaluronic Acid in your Routine
Hyaluronic Acid is produced naturally in our bodies, and when applied topically, it can give you an amazing moisture boost and can plump your skin, reducing the appearing of fine lines and wrinkles. Sounds like a miracle, I know, but it's science! However HA isn't the most straightforward ingredient to incorporate into your skincare routine, and using it incorrectly can actually dehydrate your skin.
Battling Dry and Dehydrated Winter Skin with My Favorite Moisturizers
As an oily-skinned girl, I always notice my oiliness increase at the start of cold-weather season. If you notice you become oily in cold weather as well, it's often because your skin is dehydrated and it's trying to overcompensate by producing extra oil. So my increased oiliness is usually a sign that I need to start stepping up my moisturizer game. Let me introduce you to four of my favorite moisturizers for the fall and winter season.
My Favorite Hydrating Wash-Off Mask This Fall
Like all Farmacy products, Honey Potion includes hydrating honey sourced from their farms in upstate New York. According to the brand, the bees pollinate their trademarked GreenEnvy flowers, which infuses their honey with antioxidants. The sticky honey-textured mask lathers into a rich cream and produces a warming sensation when applied. The first time I used it, I didn't realize it was supposed to warm up so I was somewhat alarmed - but don't fret! It's totally normal and after knowing what to expect, I really appreciate the warmth and I'll welcome it with open arms during particularly cold days. The warming sensation stayed pretty consistent during the 15 minutes that I let the mask sit, but it wasn't overwhelming.
