So, for this edition of the Beauty Beat, I have a great winter roundup of products meant to moisturize, buff and keep your skin and hair in tip top shape. I am breaking down the subject into two areas: body and hair. Check out some great products that will keep your skin plump and your hair feeling healthy.
Body:
Alba Botanica Body in the Buff Firming Scrub: Espresso and Coffee Bean
One of the most important parts of skincare is exfoliation. It's not just important for the face, but also for the body. The goal behind exfoliation is shed dead skin cells. When old skin cells start to pile up on the surface of the skin, it can leave skin looking dull, rough, and dry. Alba Bontanica's coffee scrub is an invigorating body scrub! It gently lathers and buffs away rough, dull, dry skin at the same time. The caffeine is also known to reduce the appearance of cellulite, de-puff, and “firm” the skin. Made with natural, biodegradable, body-buffing beads and 100 percent vegetarian ingredients. The brand focuses on socially conscious products and does not utilize animal testing, artificial colors, synthetic fragrances, parabens, phthalates or harsh sulfates.
Kiehls Creme De Corps - Faile Grapefruit Whipped Body Butter
This Kiehls Creme De Corps is definitely a luscious and moisturizing cream. By far a cult favorite and this season they've made it even better with their "Baby give back" campaign and by teaming up with FAILE for a cool limited edition product package design. The line is enriched with the finest skin-nurturing ingredients known to Kiehl's for a rich, elegant skin texture. It's great for after a shower, leaves skin soft, smooth and beautifully moisturized. The line has a charity component and with purchase of this product, helps secure 340 meals* for Feeding America.
According to Kiehls, 100% of net profits from the sale of the Grapefruit Creme De Corps Whipped Body Butter benefits Feeding America, up to $100,000. $1 helps provide 11 meals secured by Feeding America on behalf of local member food banks.
FAILE is a Brooklyn-based artistic collaboration between Patrick McNeil and Patrick Miller. Since 1999, the duo has evolved signature mass culture-driven work across a variety of media and techniques, including painting and printmaking.

If you don't want to turn into snow white over the winter, you can utilize the Soleil sunless tanning lotion to build up a natural looking tan. The product is infused with all natural Jojoba oil. So, it not only gives you the perfect all natural sunless tan, but it also nourishes and moisturizes your skin while it builds a tan.The set includes a mitt for easy application.

Hair:
Winter hair shedding happens to most of us. Yet, it is important to note than any seasonal change can affect your hair due to things like dryness . The spike in the thermostat tends to dry us out in the colder months. This along with the dry air outside can dry out the scalp. It’s important to keep your scalp clean to create the ideal environment for healthy hair growth. Use a gentle shampoo that gently exfoliates and cleanses the scalp to remove debris and sebum. Then follow with a moisturizing conditioner to nourish and soften dry hair. If you are finding that you are struggling with hair growth DS Laboratories Revita COR Hair Growth Stimulating Shampoo and Conditioner are great options to keep your strands in tip top shape.
Not only are they gentle on your strands, they are free of
iRestore Hair Growth Serum is a wonderful addition to any hair growth/strengthening shampoo system. The Hair Growth Serum is formulated with patented molecules, Redensyl® and Vitamin E & B, designed to reactivate hair stem cell activity and nourish hair follicles to promote optimal hair growth. By applying 1ml two times a day directly onto the scalp in areas of hair loss, users can expect to see significant visible results in as little as three months. Personally, I found it more suitable to apply the serum to my hair just once a day before bed as it had a tendency to make my roots feel a tad bit oily if I used it during the day before styling my hair and applying any other product. Overall, my hair is seeing new growth at the crown, it is sparse, but I think the combination of the shampoo/conditioner and the serum makes for an effective treatment. I have a feeling that beyond my typical winter shedding, the thinning I faced this year had a lot to do with hormonal imbalances and stress. As I have begun to implement more exercise, continued to focus on my yoga practice and continue to eat healthy with an up in my intake of green juices and veggies, my body is starting to balance out. That alongside the hair treatment is beginning to make a huge difference. If you want to try out the iRestore it is sold for $39.99 for a 2oz. / 60ml bottle (good for about 2-3 month treatment) and is available for purchase now on iRestore’s website.
