There's nothing quite like the first days of spring, especially after a long, cold winter. And when you wake up to the smell of flowers blooming, that's when you know spring is really here.
For renewed skin every morning, start your day off with one of our Natural Healing™ lotions. They actually help your skin heal itself, plus they smell beautiful.
3 formulations feature a blend of hydrating agents and natural extracts:
Soothing lotion has lavender, chamomile, and oatmeal extracts.
Nourishing lotion features honey, vanilla, and shea butter extracts.
Revitalizing lotion has green tea, aloe, and cucumber extracts.
Between insects, ticks, poison oak and poison ivy, your garden can be the source of major skin problems. But that doesn't mean you have to curtail your hobby. To avoid Mother Nature's irritants, just use insect repellent, check your clothes for ticks, and learn how to identify potentially poisonous plants. And for a softening treatment while you work, apply Targeted Therapy™ fast-absorbing hand and cuticle cream under your gardening gloves - or any time you want to gently soothe your hard-working hands.
If an all-day spa retreat isn't in your future, a quick and easy at-home remedy might just do the trick. Not only is it less expensive, but it's certainly more convenient.
To give your skin a gorgeous glow, add a spoonful of olive oil to your bath water. Towel dry gently and follow with an intensive moisturizer like Ultra Healing® Intensive moisture lotion - or with a new Curél® Life's Stages™ moisturizer tailored to your skin's needs. And don't forget to moisturize your heels and feet every night too - so when sandal season arrives, all you'll need is a little polish. Targeted Therapy™ deep-penetrating foot cream is perfect.
When the last of the snow melts away and the ground finally warms up, it can only mean one thing - fresh vegetables are on their way. Spring is the time when gardeners start planting carrots, peas, spinach and broccoli, all of which are high in antioxidants. Loading up on them not only makes good nutritional sense, but it also may be able to prevent your skin from premature aging.
And speaking of aging, if you're interested in renewing your skin's firmness and youthful appearance, try new Curél® Life's Stages™ youth-defense™ Moisture Lotion for the First Signs of Aging. It reduces redness and evens skin tone so you see and feel healthier skin in just 1 week.
When things get hectic, sleep is one of the first things that people sacrifice. But the truth is, most people need seven to eight hours a night. If resting your body isn't enough motivation to go to bed earlier, consider this: Getting enough sleep also relieves stress, which affects your complexion.
For true comfort during your rest, consider hypo-allergenic, Continuous Comfort® lotion, in regular or Fragrance Free formulas. It relieves dry, tight, skin without added discomfort, and it's even gentle enough to use on your face.
