Should I change my skincare routine? Outdoor winter fun, but my skin is not laughing?

Intimidated by the cold winter weather? Wondering if you should change your skincare routine? You don’t know where to begin?

In the winter months, its not just luck or genetics that keeps skin luminous. It’s all about using the right products at the right time - adjusting skin care routines to deal with the natural change in seasons. For example cleansing in the cold winter months, cleansing is important - specially at night. However, you want to cleanse at night only and simply splash water on your face in the morning.

Fashion and seasons have a great synergy, especially the autumn and winter trends. I often tell clients that seasonal changes always affect how our skin and hair, look and feel. Much like a once beautiful sweater; your skin cannot be fixed to look new again, once it has had too much wear and tear.

Summer always evokes images of sun fun and glowing skin. And as much as we love the sun, Summer is not the easiest time for our skin. Fast-forward to August and everything changes. With Autumn around the corner you will be getting your head around the new hair, new shoes & bag, a new scent perhaps, and new make-up to complement the fall fashion. And going by the trends forecasted for this Fall it seems that layering is the key, and yes there is a way to master that look. Now when it comes to your skin, you could also have a layered look – however it's not one you want to go for.

N’importe quelle fille rêverait de pouvoir présenter sa garde-robe personnelle dans un défilé de mode au cœur de Montréal. C’est ce que Lolitta Dandoy a eu la chance de faire à l’ouverture du Festival de Mode et Design 2012 mercredi dernier.

N’importe quel Montréalais s’entend pour dire que; pour être heureux l’hiver, tu as besoin de bonnes bottes ! Avec les journées froides, la slush, la glace… tu veux t’assurer d’être confortable et apte à affronter les journées voraces.

Summer's best fashion statement? Clear skin with a slight tint! Summer's fashion faux pas - sunburned blotchy skin. Skin changes with every season regardless of your routine, so with summer comes a new set of rules. Summer skin should be all about keeping it fresh, seriously gone are the days of leather brown skin. So where to begin?

Healthy skin begins with individual attention and expert knowledge - your skin needs to be analyzed three dimensionally! Honestly, your epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis are nothing to laugh at. When going into a new spa or skin care clinic, you should anticipate being asked many questions.

Early this week, I was invited to discover the new face of Annabelle Cosmetics - Singer Marie Mai - and their new fall products that are going to launch in July. It was held at the beautiful Loft Hotel downtown and gathered a great mish mash of the best Montreal fashion & beauty bloggers, as well as artists.
