Shield hair and skin from the elements with beauty products that are rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids.
It’s always a bummer when, after a morning spent meticulously curling our hair, we walk outside and see our sleek ringlets dissolve into frizz. Humidity and wind can turn perfectly coifed hair into a tangled mess, which is why we’ve started consulting the Weather Channel’s Daily Beauty Forecast. The online tool enables you to find out how the elements might impact your beauty routine, and provides tips for protecting skin and hair. Dry weather? Better take your lip balm and a water bottle. Strong winds? Don’t forget the hairspray and hydrating moisturizer.
In addition to checking the site, we consulted some of our favorite beauty experts for cold-weather hair and skin care tips. To give our locks a healthy shine, Sydney Valentine, stylist at the Neil George Salon in Beverly Hills, CA, suggests starting with a deep-conditioning treatment like the Neil George Intense Repair Mask ($38), featuring antioxidant-rich Indian gooseberry. “Once you’ve finished styling, take a drop of oil or shine spray through the ends and gently brush over your curls,” Valentine says. “The combination of the oil and the bristle brush is a sure fire way to eliminate any frizz that may be brought on by a change in weather.”
Dry skin is another major beauty concern of ours during the winter. “Using creams that contain higher concentrations of essential fatty acids is the best way to maintain a soft and glowing complexion in even the coldest of environments,” says Ole Henriksen, the Danish skin care expert and founder of OLEHENRIKSEN Face/Body Spa in Hollywood, CA. “Look for natural products like my Truth Revealed Super Crème that include oils like sunflower seed, grapeseed, black currant, hazelnut, avocado, sesame, almond and wheat germ,” he says.
