This Month's Skin Tip
It's that time of year when most of our clients (and staff!) start to swaddle themselves against the winter winds. It is important to take care of your skin in the winter, too. Here are a few steps you can easily incorporate into your winter routines and some friendly reminders about what NOT to change when the temperature drops this year. First, invest in a facial. Facials are critical to cleansing your skin's seasonal palette and setting the tone for changes in environmental stresses like wind and in-door heating. Seasonal facials also ensure that you are getting professional maintenance at regular intervals. Think of it like the dentist.
Second and critical to your winter regimen is SPF! You've heard it a thousand times, but sun screen should be part of your routine 365 days a year and not only when the sun is shining. Unlike your summer SPF, however, consider splurging on a broad spectrum sun screen in the winter. Since you won't be reapplying with the same consistency or sweating it off, an SPF that has added moisturizing or anti-aging benefits is worth it.
And that leads us to the third pillar of winter-skin: moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. Even acne-prone skin needs extra moisture in cold weather. For normal to mature skin, combining a serum with a day cream helps ensure the moisturizing effects are delivered deep into the skin. Add an active night cream for more moisture and best results. Oily or combination skin should also use a serum with a light-weight moisturizer and try to spot treat acne to avoid over-dryness. Last but not least, winter is a great time to prevent and treat broken capillaries. Though they can be caused by a lot of things, those tiny blood vessels that some of us come to notice around our nose can be exacerbated by dramatic changes in temperature (much like those we experience walking out into the cold or back into a warm house.) To minimize this risk, protect your face with a scarf or piece of clothing when going in between hot and cold climates. As for treatment of redness, winter is a fantastic time to consider a photo-facial for painless, affordable results. |

7 Unusual Uses for Coffee
Kill fridge odor: Wouldn't you rather smell coffee than two-week-old leftovers, half-rotten produce and spoiled milk? If your fridge is a nightmare of foul odors, place a bowl of fresh, unused coffee grounds inside and leave it for a day or two. The coffee will absorb the odors and you'll crave a cup whenever you open the door.
Make rich compost: There's a reason so many gardeners swear by adding used coffee grounds to compost. The grounds are rich in phosphorous, potassium, magnesium and copper, they release nitrogen into the soil as they degrade and they're a little bit acidic, which is great for certain soils.
Get shiny hair: Who doesn't want shiny, healthy-looking hair? Coffee is often recommended as a simple, natural treatment to make hair extra-glossy. Brew up an extra-strong pot, let it cool and apply it to your dry, clean hair. Leave it on for at least twenty minutes, then rinse. Keep it up once a week or so for best results.
Repel ants: Sprinkle dry, used coffee grounds in problem areas where you notice ants in your home or yard and they might just pick up and leave. To tackle huge ant mounds, pour an entire pot of brewed coffee right on the mound.
Scrub all kinds of surfaces: Mildly abrasive and acidic, coffee grounds are great for scrubbing surfaces like countertops, cooking ranges and refrigerators. Use them alone or mix them with a little dish soap.
Touch up furniture scratches: Scratches on wood furniture disappear almost instantly by simply rubbing in a little bit of instant coffee dampened into a paste with hot water. Repeat if necessary until the scratch matches the surrounding wood.
Pretty vase fillers: Stale or dirty coffee beans are still a thing of beauty. Use them as vase fillers, or in cups or jars full of pens and pencils. Not only are they pretty, they continue to smell good for quite a while, too.
