Winter is often thought of as a cozy, holiday season. But did you know that the coldest and driest month of the year is actually February? Here are some of our best ways to help your skin through those dark, winter months ahead.

Hi Jaylene, thank you so much for the email and your interest in Tulura. You have great questions and I hope I can help. Currently, our oils are >78% organic. We are striving to get the formulation to 100% and hope to get there by the end of 2019.

Winter in New York: cold and harsh outside, hot and dry inside. Brutal for your skin! Here's an easy hack to exfoliate and bring a brightness into your skin — 30 minutes you won't regret (and impress friends and family during Holidays).

WHAT WAS YOUR INSPIRATION FOR STARTING TULURA? Years of battling my own skin issues and utter frustration with the ingredients in the skin care products out there. Although it started selfishly, now it’s all about our customer. Providing the absolute best for each client, no compromises.

Keep the skin properly moisturized

Use our TULURA Duo to keep the skin supple while its on the mend. The last thing you want to do is dry the skin out- this prevents skin recovery. The Tulura Vitamin Peptide Serum contains Hyaluronic Acid, 5 dynamic peptides, ferulic Acid, lactic Acid, and vitamin C which are all hand picked to provide a surge of hydration into the epidermis. After applying, lock in the moisture with the Tulura Botanical Facial Oil. With calming ingredients like helichrysum, schisandra, and tamanu (all of which are known to contain powerful wound healing components), your skin will thank you.

Spritz with a hydrosol throughout the day

This Plant Therapy Helichrysum Hydrosol is perfect to hydrate- especially after a peel. No need to touch the face with dirty fingers, just spritz when you’re feeling any tightness. Helichrysum is anti-inflammatory and known for being a potent cicatrisant. Great for traveling!

Silicone scar sheets

This box will last you a year. Cut them to smaller sizes and wear while sleeping. Apply to red spots post extraction. The silicone scar sheet is a thick, occlusive material which seals in moisture and also provides a protective barrier against the elements while the skin restores itself. This is a popular product used in many hospitals after surgery and on burns to prevent scarring!

Diet

Stay away from anything inflammatory. Stick to super healthy whole foods fresh fruits and vegetables, including powerfully anti-inflammatory foods like ginger, turmeric, a high quality olive oil and fatty fish like salmon or mackerel. Stay away from dehydrating alcohol. And please- NO SMOKING :)

Check your schedule

Do not book a facial around your period. The skin is extra sensitive and vulnerable to flare ups. Ideally, schedule your facial 2 weeks prior to maximize your benefits.

Sleep

Sleep a full 8 hours! Your body heals and replenishes itself while sleeping. Give it the time to do its job.
