Brighten Dull Winter Skin with a Rejuvenating Treatment Masque.

/

If you are suffering from the dry, dull winter skin blues, listen up. I am with you and combating this yearly problem with a great mask. This is the Exuviance Rejuvenating Treatment Masque. I have used a few of the Exuviance products in the past and knew that this Replensinishing Treatment Masque could have not come at a better time.

Self-Tanning in Preperation for a Winter Vacation.

As you read this, I am on a jet plane on my way to the very south of Florida. I cannot tell you how much I need this vacation. The alone time away with my husband and warm weather is something I am definitely looking forward to.

For my face, I am using a combination of Bella Bronze Golden Chamomile & Goats Milk Self-Tanner* for the face & body, on my face. Of course, I am using bronzer, and the one I use is specifically for bronzing and self-tanning. Remember Mally Beauty Bronze Genius Self-Tanning Bronzing Powder? I love it, and it is what I am depending on to keep my face looking golden right now.
