Bitterroot Restoration

Due to winds and cold temperatures outside as well as drying-low humidity resulting from heating inside, the winter season can be extremely stressful for our skin.

Avocado Mask will supply your skin with a whole range of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and softening agents to fight winter dryness.

You need special skin care because

• When you are inside, your skin is losing its moisture due to the dry environment created by indoor heating. For this it feels tight, dry and can start flaking.
• When you are outside, the cold temperatures result in a poor blood circulation in your facial skin.For this skin does not get enough nutrients and oxygen and all the healthy, regenerative processes in your skin slow down. As a result, skin looses its healthy color and becomes dull or pale.
• For the  shifting between the cold outside and the warm and dry inside environments the difference is so big and stressful for your skin that your skin naturally cannot balance itself quickly enough. This results in loss of hydration, irritation, widened capillaries and redness. All of the above mentioned contributes to your skin’s misbalance, stress, sensitivity and dryness.
