Winter is finally here and although it has proven to be mild, our skin is already showing signs of stress, dryness, and wind burn! Winter blues may be inevitable, but dry and itchy skin sure does't have to be!

Here are some of our favorite Arch products that keep our skin hydrated, youthful, and soft, even during these harsh winter months.

1. Cleanser

Good cleansers are imperative for beautiful skin at any time of the year, but for those in harsh winter climates, we recommend to stick with a cream based cleanser to avoid stripping the skins natural oils.

By Terry - Cellularose Nutri-Pure

Comforting Balm Cleanser

We love By Terry, Cellularose Nutri-Pure, Comforting Balm Cleanser for a thorough yet gentle cleanse. With a subtle hint of Rose, this light cream will instantly melt into your skin, breaking down even the toughest waterproof makeup for the ultimate (gentle) cleanse! Soothing properties, added emollients, and hydration in one!

For best results, our Arch Aestheticians recommend to cleanse morning and night. A quick morning cleanse will take away any unwanted dirt or debri that may have been lingering on your pillowcase and will make all of the difference when applying your favorite day cream or moisturizer!

2. Serum

Facial serums are your best friend! Made for anyone, any age! Not quite sure why, what, or when to use a serum? A good serum can make ALL the difference when it comes to the overall look, feel, and health of your skin! These light weight oils absorb deep into the skin within moments, so be sure to stay away from harmful ingredients or chemicals.

Tip: Apply your fav serum just after your cleanse when your skin is slightly damp. The water keeps your pores open, allowing for maximum penetration and moisture retention!

EVE LOM - Intense Hydration Serum

The best of the best, EVE LOM Intense Hydration Serum delivers exactly what it promises - Intense hydration! This luxurious, ultra light weight serum is a cult favorite for a reason. Absorbing into your skin almost instantly, the Intense Hydration Serum will plump your skin giving it immediate moisture, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This serum has been clinically proven to increase moisture in skin by nearly 20% in less than 2 hours! Talk about instant relief from dry, chapped, winter-burned skin!

Why does this work so well? This serum is packed with Hyaluronic Acid (which is also produced naturally in the body) this helps to smooth, plump, hydrate and protect your complexion!

3. Moisturizer

Not getting the hydration you need from your moisturizer? Sometimes it feels that no matter how much moisturizer we use, we are instantly chapped the moment we step outside! Harsh winds, temperatures that dip below 20, and environmental exposure can leave us with painful, tight, and irritated skin.

Natura Bisse - The Cure

When your skin needs a cure, Natura Bisse, The Cure is your go-to when all else fails! With restoration in mind, this cream was specifically designed for those seeking the highest levels of moisture and healing. It can take just a few minutes in the harsh elements to feel the sting of wind burn, but The Cure offers up a strong 24 hours of protection even in the windiest of cities! Once applied, you'll instantly feel this velvety soft cream melt into your skin! Other great benefits include softened wrinkles and expression lines, restored luminosity and increased skin firmness and elasticity! Instant results, long term benefits!

From normal cold-weather exposure to long weekends on the ski slope, you can count on intense moisture and protection all season long with Natura Bisse.

Splurge-Worthy Extras

Chantecaille - Pure Rosewater

When mid-day has hit you and coffee just won't cut it, Chantecaille Rosewater is everything you never knew you needed! This unique and rare rose (Rose de Mai) is harvested and picked by hand in the hills of Provence, France. Distilled by pure artesian well water immediately after being picked at dawn (when the petals are richest and highest in nutrients and fragrance) this Pure Rosewater is the ultimate must-have for those seeking lightweight, luxurious hydration.

From setting your makeup, to a mid-day refresher, this will easily become your biggest asset when it comes to flawless, radiant, and healthy skin no matter what time of the year it is. Not only does Rose de Mai soothe dry and irritated skin, this satin like spray is also antibacterial and loaded with naturally derived Vitamin C, making this ideal for those with sensitive skin!

If you've ever left Arch after a makeup application or brow wax, you likely know that Chantecaille Pure Rosewater is our go-to to set your makeup or to give added moisture and radiance. Prepare to fall in love with luxe spray. (Did we mention it is cruelty free, vegan-friendly, and paraben free?)

Okay, so let's face it. If it were up to us, we would hire a hairstylist to do our hair every morning before we left for work. Unfortunately, that isn't realistic for the everyday working woman. However, with a few style secrets and a powerful, yet simple lineup of our favorite Oribe hair products, even the most style-challenged girl can give herself a beautiful and bouncy at-home blowout! No more bad hair days!

BUT, first is first, beautiful hair can only be achieved by having healthy hair! Sometimes a trim really can do the trick, so if you have dry, brittle, or stringy ends, it might be time to consider booking an appointment for a trim or consultation. For others, it's all a matter protecting your hair from the elements and making it a habit to treat your hair like you would your body or skin.

Like skin, our hair absorbs everything it comes in contact with, so remember this the next time you go to grab that product loaded with harsh and harmful ingredients. Investing your hard-earned money in luxury products may seem a little scary, but the results will speak for themselves and you will wonder how you ever went without.

For Beautiful Hair (that will last for DAYS!)

1. Foundation Mist

This is the perfect pre-style spray for any hair type! Not only are all Oribe products infused with their signature French fragrance Côte d'Azur, but they are also paraben and sodium chloride free, safe for keratin and color treated hair. Foundation Mist is the perfect primer, leave-in, heat protectant, or refreshing spray. Not only will your hair feel instantly softer, this light weight spray adds long-lasting moisture, strength, and is designed to repair your hair from the inside out. This is a definite must-have and is key to achieve a long-lasting blowout without the thermal damage. Consider this mist a much needed drink of water sure to hydrate even the driest of manes without a drop of reside to be found. Apply to wet or dry hair before styling, or anytime as a style refresher.

2. Gold Lust Nourishing Hair Oil

This ultra luxurious and lightweight, reparative oil is ideal for those looking for the total package. This liquid gold will add instant shine and silkiness while drastically reducing frizz at the source by penetrating the hair shaft to restore, strengthen, and condition damaged, dry, and color treated hair. Lighter than your traditional oil, Gold Lust Nourishing Hair Oil instantly absorbs into the hair providing thermal and UV protection, all while cutting down blow-dry time. Instant results, long-term benefits. Apply to wet or dry hair or use as an overnight mask for extra luster.

3. Creme for Style

This powerhouse cream can be used by anyone, with any hair type. Whether you prefer a straight style, lots of body and volume, or even for naturally curly hair, this cream has major strength; yet is soft and flexible to touch. Lighter than a gel and softer than traditional mouses, Creme for Style will lock-in body and volume for days to come. Apply a small amount to wet (or dry hair) and style to desired look.

4. Dry Texturizing Spray

Okay, so where do we start? Dry is the ultimate style must-have (and we mean MUST-HAVE) and it is used by the most elite hairstylists, models, and celebrities around! This volume boosting texture spray cannot be matched in versatility. This invisible, dry spray will add instant lift and volume to even the most limp hair. Body, height, and texture galore, this spray is perfect for literally anyone! Zeolite Crystallines act like tiny sponges to absorb dirt, oil, and odor so it can also be used as a dry shampoo alternative. Not to mention Oribe's signature scent Côte d'Azur will make your hair smell as gorgeous as it looks, even after that daily workout! None of that dreaded, powdery residue most dry shampoos will often leave behind, and most of all your hair is left feeling soft and fresh, and healthier than ever! Shake, spray, and prepare to fall in love with Dry.

Warning: Use of these Oribe products may result in serious hair obsessions, product addictions, and incredibly gorgeous hair. #LivePretty
