.

With the colder months quickly approaching, dry skin starts to make its debut pretty early! We personally know the feeling all too well. Thanks to Dove, we no longer have to worry about this. Resident Makeup Artist Taryn Passifione is letting us in on her go-to product secret. With Dove Deep Moisture Body Wash, there is no need to worry about dry skin anymore. The rich and gentle lather has us covered. Check out what Taryn has to say below:

“As I was out shopping today, I was reminded that the holidays are just around the corner! Don’t you just love this time of year? It’s chilly enough to cozy up by a fire with a warm cup of cocoa and start breaking out those winter accessories! Cute beanies, scarves, (faux)fur everything!? Oh my! I also get to attend fabulous holiday parties with close friends and family. It is a busy time for my clients too! As many of them are in my chair, they are constantly asking me my beauty secrets. Some specifically wanting to know how I am keeping my skin so soft and moisturized with the colder weather approaching. I mean, we all know these adorable cocktail dresses look even better with ultra-smooth and soft skin.

It is so important to protect your skin in colder winter months! Not only is it important with your facial skin care routine, but for your entire body as well! This month is National Healthy Skin Month. Make sure you are giving your skin the love and nurturing it deserves and needs! One little secret I let my clients in on is how I keep my skin from getting dry and chapped over these colder months. Are you ready for it? Make sure to have a bottle of Dove Deep Moisture Body Wash in the bath or shower. I absolutely LOVE the rich lather Dove provides with the mildness my skin needs. It is no surprise that Allure named Dove Deep Moisture Body Wash “Best Moisturizing Body Wash!” in their Best of Beauty Awards this year.

Dove Body Washes take a dual approach to healthy looking skin by repairing and maintaining skin’s protective layer during cleansing. Just as I started to feel my skin getting ultra-dry, I decided to try this body wash in the shower. After just ONE shower using Dove Deep Moisture Body Wash, I could feel a difference in my skin! It contains the brand’s gentlest cleansers and provides a softer and smoother feel for my ultra-sensitive skin. Since Dove is the #1 Dermatologist and Pediatrician recommended brand, I use it for my children’s baths, too.

Do yourself a favor and run to your closest drug store and purchase this (22 fl.oz/ SRP $6.99) Body Wash. That way, when you are getting ready for those fabulous parties or cozy nights in, you can be confident and comfortable in your soft, smooth and healthy looking skin! You will be thanking us as it starts to get even colder. Having dry skin is never fun!

We are thrilled to have Kelsey of A Balancing Peach back with us today to let us in on her skin secretes. She is sharing her effective beauty products that she uses and trusts.

Check out Kelsey’s top picks below:

I have collected quite the arsenal of skincare products anymore. I think it’s due to suffering from years of bad skin problems + the love for any “perfect skin” gimmick. Sadly, every beauty junkie out there knows the number of products that actually create perfect skin versus those that claim fame for doing so are slim to none. So if I had to pick the products that can actually back up their flashy advertising, these bad boys would be the ones:

Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion Skin Exfoliant ($80)

The closest thing I have actually found to an actual at home microderm. Unlike other exfoliators, this product uses both physical and chemical exfoliants to help smooth out the surface of your skin. Tiny pharmaceutical grade crystals in the product helps skin tone and texture, and added lactic acid gently banishes dead skin cells. It definitely comes with a hefty price tag, but know that one in house microderm will cost you at least $80 and this Skin Exfoliant gets you a year’s worth of two microderms a week.

Doctor D. Schwab’s Flawless Skin Fluid ($39)

I’ve just discovered this product, but I have absolutely fallen in love with what it does for my skin. It seems to instantly correct any uneven skin tone and gives my skin a radiant, youthful glow. The fluid does seem a tad light for drier weather, but paired with a serum it works wonders.

Tatcha Rice Powder ($65)

By far this fun powder to liquid cleanser is my most favorite item in my skincare lineup. If the Dr.  Brandt Skin Exfoliant sounds a tad harsh for your sensitive skin, you will absolutely fall in love with this product. It’s a cleanser, toner and exfoliant all in one that gives you the freshest gentle clean feeling. It’s formulated with Japanese rise bran and crushed pearl, both ingredients known for their anti aging and calming exfoliant properties. The rice powder is such a fun water activated product that your skin will be begging for you to use. (You can also snag this in my favorite $15 travel size.)

Ole Henricksen Truth Serum ($72)

I was one of those beauty obsessed junkies that absolutely refused to buy into the whole serum trend. It’s not so much that I thought they are useless, but frankly they are often too ineffective considering how pricey they can get. Luckily, this lightweight, oil-free serum from the Ole Henricksen line is easily worth it’s price tag. With only two months use, I’ve noticed that my skin is visibly brighter and healthier. It’s chocked full of Vitamin C to promote anti-aging by supporting natural collagen and with green tea extract to aid in nourishing your skin. I honestly can’t say enough good things about it, and I’ll be buying this one over and over again.

Derma E Hydrating Night Creme ($30)

I was tired of putting out so much money into thick, goopy night creams for my skin. I took a risk on this affordable night cream and fell in love with what it does for my skin. It’s packed with hyaluronic acid meaning it seems much more gel like than creamy with it’s lightweight texture. It’s the one product that literally plumps my skin with one night’s use and it’s the one product that can soothe and treat stressed, dried out skin in a matter of minutes.
