Winter Beauty Mistakes to Avoid

In a nutshell, here are some pointers to some of the winter grooming, beauty, and makeup mistakes that should be avoided:

• Long hot showers make the skin dry
• Soap-based foam cleaner drains the skin
• Waxy scented balm is not good! Opt for viscous lip balms to protect the lips
• Frosted eyeshadow will keep you looking washed out in winter or fall – try evergreen metallic bronzes
• Avoid summer bronze – apply a bronzer that is no more than a shade darker than your natural skin tone
• Applying foundation on flaky skin is a huge makeup mistake. Instead, exfoliate the skin and moisturize it with a deep moisturizer at night – then you can apply makeup the next day!
