Sorry for the lack of posts this past week but I have been battling a bad case of Strep Throat! This time of year we become more susceptible to flu bugs and colds. I was completely caught off guard when my Dr. came in and told me I had Strep Throat…UGH! I had not had this since I was a teenager. We can all relate to the damage being sick not only does to our overall well being but our skin too. It is even more important when you’re sick to take extra care of your skin. I constantly try to stay extra hydrated, which has been almost impossible since I could barely swallow. I doubled up on my Omega 3 supplements as well which helps my skin retain moisture and natural oils. At night I pulled out one of my most hydrating creams by GlyDerm called Cream Plus 10. This cream does wonders for dehydrated skin. You have seen my reviews on other GlyDerm products, which I LOVE as well, and this cream is no different. The Cream series is specially formulated for dry or mature skin. It contains 10% glycolic acid that provides the perfect balance of hydration and exfoliation to enhance your complexion. During the day, I lived with my Eclos rejuvenating mask on my face at all times. This was the perfect combo for my dehydrated skin. I’m finally on the road to recovery luckily, but this has been a reminder to not let myself get run down or let stress get the best of me. Living a well balanced life helps keep our overall health in check! Here’s to a healthy Winter (& beautiful skin) ahead-
