Give Winter Skin a Boost

Posted on by Nicole Beckley

In the winter our skin can get dry and dull.  For a quick skin pick-me-up, give Merlot’s hydrating Peel Off Mask a try.  It will help skin retain its natural moisture while also removing impurities.

Purifying Peel Off Mask

Cleanse and dry skin first.  Then apply a layer of the Mask — you can add more or less depending on how thick a mask you want.  Let set for 10 to 15 minutes, then slowly peel off.  Wash off any remaining pieces and top with Merlot Moisturizer for an extra layer of hydration.  Use this Mask two to three times per week.

Face The Day

Merlot Moisturizer

People often ask us: “What’s a good daily beauty routine?”

At Merlot, we like to follow a simple morning regimen:  Cleanse, Tone, Moisturize

First, wash your face with Merlot Cleanser.  It’s soap-free, so it won’t overly dry skin.  Next, splash on Merlot’s Hydrating Toner.  This will help freshen and firm skin before you apply Merlot Moisturizer.  The Moisturizer is ultra-light, absorbs into the skin quickly, and has an SPF 15.  It’s the perfect primer to put on before applying make-up.

This is a super-simple daily practice, but it can deliver great results for your skin.  Face the day beautifully with these easy steps!  Just remember, Cleanse, Tone, Moisturize!
