Can we have glowing skin even during the driest and coldest of winter months? When the temperature drops we lose those upper layers of moisture that protect and hydrate the skin. Furthering this moisture loss are our exposure to harsh chemicals, soaring water temperatures and even forced air. But, thanks to a few hacks from nature, the answer is ‘yes’. Dry skin can be nourished back to glowing with plant-based ingredients that promise to soothe without chemical additives.
