Remembering to apply hand cream in dry winter months is easy, when hands are cracked and sore. But your digits require special attention when the weather is warm, too. Sun, surf, and daily cleansing all take their toll on hands.

A rich, moisturizing cream applied after washing and at night will help keep the skin on hands soft, smooth and young-looking. Hand creams containing emollient plant oils and anti-inflammatory ingredients pamper hard-working hands, and protect nails and cuticles.

Lavera Body Spa Hand Cream packs Jojoba oil and Vitamin E to hydrate and repair dry skin. Rich in antioxidants and vitamins, this light formula is easily absorbed, leaving behind no greasiness. Skin drinks in the healthy ingredients while the luscious scents delight the senses. Comes in mouth-watering Orange-Sea Buckthorn, and delicately scented Wild Rose.

It can be difficult to come to terms with your skin type. We all want to have "normal" skin. But truly, using the right skin care products for your own unique skin type and skin concerns will bring forth your best, most radiant, and healthiest complexion.

The first step in deciding how to care for your skin is determining your skin type: Normal/Combination, Oily/Acne, Dry/Mature, or Sensitive.

Why are certain types lumped together?

Normal skin is balanced and hydrated with few breakouts. But even normal skin can become dull, dry, oily or broken out. Often those with normal skin types will have an oily T-zone (forehead, nose, chin), considered Combination skin. With combination skin, what works on cheeks and neck could leave the rest of the face greasy and vice versa.

Most women wear moisturizers and foundations of some sort year round. But at this time of year, when skin tends to be pale and dry, it can be challenging to find the perfect combination.

There are many options to achieving a radiant, glowing, natural complexion and still get the hydration your skin needs. Let's face it, dry skin does not look young and healthy. A balance of moisturizer plus color is just the ticket.

One option is to use a tinted moisturizer. This is the perfect all-in-one solution for the minimalist or those who prefer lighter coverage. Tinted Moisturizer - Transparent offers light, natural coverage with a boost of hydration and can even be layered over your usual moisturizer for extra dry skin.

Winter months can make for dry, irritated, unhappy skin. If you are looking more dull or red than bright and radiant you may need to take a closer look at which products you are using. More specifically… your moisturizer.

Supplying skin with proper hydration and protection is essential in maintaining soft, smooth skin. Skin requires both moisture from water and oils to stay healthy and youthful. Most often dryness in younger skin is caused by dehydration, while more mature skin may be dry due to lack of oil.

Skin lacking moisture usually appears tight and dry and needs rich hydration. Hyaluronic Acid in...

With holiday fetes lining up and that LBD hanging in the closet, just waiting for its shining moment — it's time to put on your holiday face. The smokey eye is always in for the season, but let's take a look at this year's version.

This winter what is in for eyes is a slightly shimmery, more toned down version of the smokey eye, and Lavera Eye Shadow Duo No. 2 works perfectly. Apply white to entire lid, then layer graphite from lash to crease and smudge a bit with your finger. Line upper and lower lids with Eyeliner in Grey to add definition.

The right foundation can not only change the appearance of your skin but it can also change the way you feel. The last thing I want to put on my skin is a heavy mix of chemicals and artificial colors. I want my foundation to enhance my natural beauty not hide it.

I found the perfect foundation in Lavera's Trend Cosmetic line. Lavera's foundations feel soft and light on the skin and can be worn all day leaving your skin with a beautiful healthy glow. Earth-pure minerals provide the natural looking coverage and color, while pure plant extracts fortify and balance your complexion.
