Recovery For Your Beauty Routine

Woohoo it's going to be 50 degrees today, breakout that bikini baby! Hmmm... thinking about that for a moment, you may want to hold off and take care of your skin. After the arctic blast from the polar vortex, our hair and skin might be left a little worse for the wear. But we have some recovery products that will have your skin and hair looking absolutely stunning.

BANISH THE HAT HAIR: As you probably quickly realized last week, suffering in the name of good hair is just not worth it. After donning a beanie and dealing with flat, hat hair you can give those locks a makeover and be prepared for the next polar vortex! We have come to swear by the VOLOOM Volumizing Iron ($129.99). Hats are no match for the damage-free, locked-in volume you can achieve. The secret is in the patented plates – which gently build lasting structure into the under-layers of the hair, lifting the top layers up and away from the scalp. In only a few minutes (and without damage) hair is volumized and ready to brave the cold... or whatever life swings your way.

TLC, tender loving conditioner: You’ve battled hat hair, but all that cold air and dry heat has done major damage to your locks. Treat it to a little TLC, without any of the hassle. Because The évolis Professional Treatment Mask ($40) dries to a candy like hard shell when applied to dry hair, you can leave it on overnight without fear of it ruining your silk pillowcase. When you wake up, rinse out for hair that is smooth as silk with improved texture, manageability and shine thanks to ingredients like Baobab, Rosa Multiflora and Sanguidorba Officinalis.
