even though I am now living in Hawaii, I vividly remember the days of harsh, dry winters (in Wisconsin & Colorado). beauty-wise, it was always awful for me.
I saw THIS ARTICLE and the first thing I noticed was the quote from SELF magazine's beauty editor which was "it really comes down to going back to the basics."
I like it basic. I like simple solutions. I like not having to go out and buy the most up-to-date whatever to make it just so. I like to find & buy products that actually do what they say they're gonna do, that way I don't need layers of products for one issue. girls, you know what I mean? I like easy, manageable, everything ... beauty-wise especially.
since I'm an Avon Rep, I thought I'd do some homework to see if Avon carries a solution for each issues that winter brings ... and wouldn'tcha know it, they do!

Skin - my skin is what always takes the biggest toll, and in the winter, I am especially dry and itchy. I'm finding even in a winter with humidity, I get dry. what's up with that?!
Face - the article says specifically stay away from anti-aging products because they tend to be drying, however, Avon's Anew Skincare line (which is anti-aging) there is a step for moisturizing. in fact, there is a different moisturizer for your morning and night cleansing, so to me, they [at Avon] must know the drying tendencies anti-aging products have. you will find vitamin e throughout the Anew products, a.k.a tocopherol.

From the Inside Out - drink more water! doesn't get any easier than that! well actually, you could drink your water AND donate to Breast Cancer Awareness by purchasing one of these:

Avon Walk for Breast Cancer Clear Water Bottle ($10)
as a woman, I know how difficult it can be to find the right products. if Avon works for you, then its great to use it as a one-stop shop for all your beauty needs. if you're new to Avon, I encourage you to try ... and seriously, not because I sell it ... but because it has such a great reputation (for 125 years now!) at a very reasonable price. I don't care how rich you are, you have to cringe a little if you spend $100 on facial cream!!
I hope this was helpful to you. stay warm AND MOISTURIZED this winter!!
