Hello lovelies. I hope you're somewhere warm and toasty on this frigid day in NYC. I've been daydreaming about a tropical vacation all morning. Speaking of, I just booked a vacation to Vegas in April and it'll be my first time visiting. The weather will be around 80 degrees and gorgeous. Until then I'm stuck battling the snow in New York. To help, here are my favorite #PolarVortex skin essentials.

1. A Killer Exfoliator: Your skin is taking a beating during this cold weather and it's important to exfoliate once a week to rid your face (and body) of dry skin. My current favorite facial exfoliator is First Aid Beauty's Facial Radiance Polish. For body, use DERMAdoctor's KP Duty Body Scrub. It gets rid of everything, including "chicken skin." 

2. Heavy Moisturizer: I keep telling my friends you must moisturize, moisturize, and moisturize. Skin is naturally much drier in the winter then in the summer, so you must up the power on your cream this season. I switch up my moisturizers daily, but this week I'm using Kiehl’s Super Multi-Corrective Cream and Elizabeth Arden’s Eight Hour® Cream Skin Protectant.

Ouidad Celebrates Curls With New Products in Curl Recovery Line

Confession: I have curly hair. I used to be on the fence about my curls and constantly wishing for straight locks, but then I changed my mind. My hair is one of my best features and I consistently get complemented on it. I decided to embrace my curls and let my natural hair shine. Being a curly/wavy hair girl, I love when a brand launches a product line just for curls. It's rare, but it does happen. Ouidad, one of my favorite hair care brands, recently added new products to their well-known Curl Recovery line. Ouidad are "the curl experts" and rightly so as they have special treatments at their salons for curls and are helping women everywhere discover what kind of curl they have (not just one, ladies) and the right products to care for them.
