South Louisiana, known for its subtropical climate, rarely sees snow. Imagine waking up to a world transformed overnight, where the vibrant greens and earthy browns of South Louisiana are blanketed under a serene layer of white. Snowfall here is not just weather; it's an event, a spectacle that turns our familiar landscapes into scenes from a fairy tale. This rare occurrence paints a picture of beauty so unexpected, it leaves everyone in awe. It also leaves businesses and schools closed and most of us snowed in! How can we keep our skin as radiant as the winter wonderland outside, even when we can’t visit SOL SPA?

With the arrival of snow, the already lower humidity levels drop further, stripping the skin of its natural moisture. Cold air, coupled with indoor heating, can lead to dry, itchy, and sometimes cracked skin. This is particularly problematic for those who might find themselves snowed in, like  myself, unable to venture out for my usual skincare products and treatments at SOL SPA. Here’s where having a good skincare routine at home becomes crucial.

When you're stuck indoors due to snow, maintaining your skin's health doesn't have to go on pause. Here’s how you can use SOL SPA skincare products to combat the harsh effects of winter:

Hydration is Key: SOL SPA’s Apple Stem Cell Moisturizer replenishes hydration, combats dryness, and rejuvenates your skin. It’s designed to lock in moisture, creating a barrier against the dry, cold air.

Gentle Cleansing: SOL SPA’s Green Tea Cleanser will leave the skin clean, soothed and moisturized as it cleanses the skin, while removing make-up and environmental buildup. This cleanser was formulated for all skin types and helps promote balanced protection on a daily basis!

Exfoliation: Even in winter, dead skin cells can build up, exacerbating dryness. SOL SPA’s Apricot Grape Seed Exfoliator is a holistic facial product that naturally boosts collagen and elastin, which invigorates dull and lifeless skin making this safe and effective mechanical exfoliant ideal for everyone!

Nighttime Repair: The night is when your skin repairs itself. SOL SPA’s Face Lift Mask improves the texture of skin by lifting, tightening and refining with its 188 trace minerals, vital proteins, antioxidants, and RNA factors to give your face and decollete the gift of truly age-defying skin. It’s a great product for replenishing moisture, combating dryness, and rejuvenating your skin while you sleep.

While snow in South Louisiana is a sight to behold and an event to cherish, it comes with its skincare challenges. By having a robust at-home skincare routine with products like those from SOL SPA, you can keep your skin healthy, hydrated, and glowing, even when you're snowed in. Remember, skincare is not just about beauty; it's about keeping your skin's natural barrier strong against the elements of any season.

We hope everyone stayed warm, stayed hydrated, and enjoyed the rare beauty of a snowy Louisiana winter!
