If you're going on a winter vacation, whether skiing or to the beach, and you want to simplify your routine and travel with minimal (yet effective) products, I have the perfect cocktail for you.

The two products I always bring with me on vacation are the Body Oil and Super Moisturizer from Environ.

The Body Oil contains all your essential vitamins (A, C, and E) in their ester forms and can be used head to toe.

The Super Moisturizer has no scent, can be used on any skin type, and will increase the natural moisturizing factors in your skin

You simply mix a couple of drops of the Body Oil with the Super Moisturizer, and this combo will help make your skin resistant to the sun and super hydrated!

This client has done 2 GlycoAla photodynamic therapy treatments and 1 GlycoAla Bio treatment, 5 months apart. He is also on Environ C-Quence 4 Plus and Environ Defence Creme Plus for his home care.

GlycoAla photodynamic therapy pairs a light-activated solution with targeted LED light to stimulate cellular renewal and healing, boost collagen production, and accelerate skin repair. GlycoAla Bio modulation uses your own skin's natural intelligence to heal itself from the inside out, utilizing microscopic sea sponge needles, micro-channeling, and 11 synergistic active ingredients to stimulate the repair process.

Both treatments do not harm the skin and work to repair accumulated skin imperfections, resulting in significant improvements in skin discoloration, wrinkles, sensitivity, acne, and other signs of aging.

If you have a ski trip, chemical peel, or laser treatment coming up, and you're wondering what you can do to help soothe, moisturize, and repair your skin, then I have 3 options for you.

1/ Remedy MD Healing Balm from Osmosis
I love this multi-use balm. It's especially great for a ski trip, as it can be used all over the face and lips to heal, repair, and protect the skin.

2/ Emollient Cream Pack from Forlle'd
This product can be used as a mask. It can be cocktailed with your other skincare products to provide extra moisturization. Or add a thin layer all over your skin to really lock in hydration.

3/ Trio Luxe Moisture Treatment from SkinBetter Science
This luxurious moisturizer is great to seal everything in without being sticky or tacky. This is your one-stop shop for a cosmetically elegant moisturizer that covers all the bases: repair, protect, hydrate, and moisturize.

Are you experiencing dry skin this winter despite drinking a ton of water? Here are 3 potential issues and solutions:

1/ You might have an essential fatty acid deficiency in your body. Essential fatty acids, or omegas, do not occur naturally in our bodies, so we need them in our diet. I recommend Osmosis Recovery Oil, which moisturizes the skin and also helps with brain fog, nails, and hair.

2/ You might have a vitamin A deficiency in your skin. We need high levels of vitamin A stored in our skin to maintain hydration. I put every one of my clients on the ester forms of vitamin A. The ester forms naturally in your skin and moisturizes it from the inside out. Skin is more luminous and plump, with fewer fine lines and wrinkles.

3/ You might have a hyaluronic acid deficiency in your skin. Hyaluronic acid is naturally occurring in our skin, and it’s the sponge that holds everything together. I love hydrating serums from Environ or Forlle’d in combination with a microneedle roller from Environ to increase the absorption in the skin of the hyaluronic acid molecule by 80%!

If your skin is dry, dehydrated, and dull in the winter, I have a 3-step solution that will not break the bank, and you won't have to come in for a facial.

1/ Cleanse the skin thoroughly. First, use an oil cleanser (I like the Pre-Cleansing Oil from Environ) and massage it into the skin for a minute, then follow with a clay mask (I like the Hydrating Clay Masque from Environ because it does not dry out the skin) for a gentle micro-exfoliation. Massage it in over the oil for a minute or two. Then rinse and follow with your normal cleanser.

2/ Use a hydrating toner. I recommend DermaLac from Environ (it’s one of my favorite multi-use products ever) because it contains 16% lactic acid, which helps hydrate, tighten, and brighten the skin.

3/ Follow with an ester form of vitamin A. I love Environ’s AVST and C-Quence series, as well as the Body Oil, because the ester forms build up in your skin to hydrate it from the inside out and protect your barrier, so your skin does not feel dry, dull, or dehydrated in the winter months.

If you have eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, or dermatitis, I'm going to teach you how to heal these conditions without going to the doctor.

You only need two products: Environ Body Oil and Environ DermaLac. You're going to only use these for all four conditions.

If you're in an active phase or having a flare-up, you'll only use the Body Oil (which contains all your ester forms of vitamin A) to regulate, normalize, hydrate, moisturize, and correct.

When you're not flared up, you'll use Body Oil mixed together with DermaLac (which has lactic acid) to kill the fungi on the skin, both morning and night.

Together, these two products are transformative for eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, and dermatitis.

Does your skin ever feel a little rough to the touch, especially in your T-zone? I'm going to solve that for you with two products. You do not need to come in for a facial.

First, if you're wearing any makeup or SPF, remove it with makeup remover, a wipe, or micellar water.

Second, use an oil cleanser. My personal favorites are the Pre-Cleansing Oil from Environ or the Forlle'd Clearance Cleansing. Then, on dry skin, massage the oil cleanser in for a solid minute.

Next, you're going to help the skin naturally shed dead skin cells by micro-exfoliating with the Environ Clay Masque, which contains kaolin clay and is very hydrating. You'll massage the clay right on top of the oil cleanser, focusing especially on any areas where you have rough texture, for at least a minute.

Then rinse! That is how you refine your skin's texture and tone at home, just like a professional.

There is a lot of misinformation about vitamin A (or retinoids) and the sun.

Vitamin A naturally becomes deficient in the presence of UV light. So every time you walk into the sun, your skin becomes a little deficient in vitamin A because that vitamin A inside the skin is absorbing UVB rays and protecting you from the sun.

We need to eat foods high in retinoids (from animal products and/or carotenoids/beta carotene) and antioxidants to replenish vitamin A in the body. But we can also support this by using vitamin A in our skincare, specifically in ester forms, which build up in the skin (unlike more active forms like retinol or tretinoin).

The ester forms are sun-protective and help build collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid to support healthy skin throughout your life.

It's great that you're using vitamin A and vitamin C in your skincare, but did you know that these vitamins come in different forms?⁠

And as you can imagine, if you used an acidic form or an alcohol form of vitamin A or C on your skin, it would be irritating. But if you used a fat form of vitamin A or vitamin C on your skin, it wouldn't irritate at all. ⁠

So, knowing which chemical forms of vitamins are in your skincare products is very important for long-term, healthy skin. And if you're not sure, I can help you!⁠

I have many new clients who come in and say they can't use vitamin A (or retinoids) because their skin is too sensitive. But I am telling you from years of experience that the opposite is true.

If you are experiencing a lot of sensitivity, irregularity, sun damage, pigmentation, or starting to wrinkle very early in life, your skin is most likely deficient in vitamin A.

So what do we do? We have to go low and slow. Start them on an ester-based vitamin A (the fat form) to build up their receptor sites and create healthy skin tissue.

This happens faster than you might think, but you have to pick the right formulation, and this is where your esthetician's expertise comes in handy.
