Protect your skin on days like today

Sothys Hydroptimale THI3 Hydrating Serum

Has the crazy winter winds and frigid temperatures can cause your healthy skin to go dry, dehydrated and dull? With this winter’s varying weather patterns, it is easy for skin to become confused and unbalanced heading into the warmer seasons. Going in and out of your office; from the warmth into the cold can really cause your skin to go into daily shock.

Legendary French skincare company Sothys, who also has a great spa here in NYC on 57th street, offer the ultimate solution for dried-out skin: Hydroptimale; a product created to reinforce the skin’s water reservoir. Simply, it helps keep the moisture in your skin even when the wind tries to strip it.

The skincare experts at Sothys have engineered the Hydroptimale line to regulate water flow through the skin and create a positive sensorial effect on well-being. By working to correct fluid retention within the skin, Hydroptimale delivers a superior hydration system that is convenient for every day care.

What does that mean for you my brides? Let’s just say this is just the beginning of what will be a long, cold, and dry winter. I’m sure you want your skin to be clear, soft and supple for your wedding day and especially for your pictures. This means you have to start protecting it with products that do the trick ASAP.

The entire Hydroptimale line is a revolutionary multi dimensional hydration program containing patented active ingredients to reestablish optimum moisture levels in all layers of the skin. Once hydration is restored the skin will appear "more youthful, the metabolic functions are improved, the skin is radiant and balance achieved.”

I pair that with another great winter product from PHYTO-C called Moisture Cream. Where the Sothys product is “revitalizing,” the PHYTO-C product is “healing,” so the PHYTO-C focuses on correcting the damage that comes with the harsh winter weather. Another great aspect of this product is that it promotes holistic ingredients such as jojoba oil and chamomile oil, which have natural, calming effects on the skin.

Using both of these has really saved my face so far this winter. I mean really, just how much can one cover up and still be ‘fashionable’ right? I’m not a doctor but I would recommend that you drink lots of water, limit the caffeine and try these products. If you are interested in either of these products you can find Sothys at www.skin-one.com and PHYTO-C at licensed spa and doctors offices.
