Winter Warrior: Hydrating Cheek Colors

Feeling a tinge of the winter blues? Single digit temperatures, snowstorms, biting winds and dry heat are a cruel combo in the struggle to keep our skin hydrated and glowing.  The radiance of our summer skin is long gone and now is a great time to add a flush of color to our cheeks.  To combat the harsh conditions of winter, think beyond your cold weather skincare regime and put your makeup to work by using a nourishing cream blush.  New formulations in stains, creams and tints offer luxurious textures, replenishing formulas and a perk to your complexion during these blah winter days.  Here are a few favs – give’em a try!
