Ascending Butterfly Valentine's Day Buying Guide Giveaway sponsored by:

While the Groundhog supposedly predicted an early Spring, there is no sign of it yet here in New York City. It's been so cold that I get home with super dry skin from the brutal winter winds! My face feels 'tight' and my hands have felt super dry even though they are usually protected by gloves. While I would love to beat the winter blues with a tropical beach vacation, a writer's budget forces me to think a lot more practically!

Beat the Winter Blues

Just because I have to think practical, doesn't mean my skin should suffer!  One of my favorite ways to rejuvenate and revive both skin and spirit is with an at home facial!

Did you notice today's inspirational quote? I leaked it on twitter and facebook as a little teaser of what was coming today! Here it is again:

Your real influence is measured by your treatment of yourself. ~ A. Bronson Alcott

No truer words have ever been spoken! We set the bar for how others treat us by the way we value and treat ourselves!

I have experienced the luxury of a Borghese facial by a skilled esthetician, and they left my skin baby smooth and Glowing!

Bel Viso Facial Skincare Set




I am super happy to report that I can get the same results in the comforts of my own home. Saves me travel time and transportation, and helps me to beat the winter blues by doing something good for my skin!

Bel Viso Facial Skincare Set Includes:

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Exfoliante Delicato <-The key to a good facial is exfoliating your skin!

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Fluido Protettivo Advanced Spa Lift for Eyes <- No one will be able to tell if you didn't get your 8 hours of beauty sleep! :)

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ -Effetto Immediato Spa Soothing Tonic <- Just like our bodies need its 8 cups of water each day, our skin needs hydration as well. There is a reason they 'mist' you sort of like a plant while you are at the spa!

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Fango Active Mud for Face and Body <- There is a reason this product has been a top seller for many years, it just plain works! This really is the cadillac of facial masks! And the fact that it's also a great body mask is a great perk!

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - CuraForte Mouisture Intensifier <-Your winter ravaged skin will literally DRINK this in!

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Crema Straordinaria Da Giorno SPF 25 <- Remember even in winter you need SPF protection for your skin!

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Dolce Notte Re-Energizing Night Creme

This set is available at qvc.com for $54.00

My Take:

While I'd still prefer to beat the winter blues on the beach, doing something wonderful for my skin is a great way to restore face, body and mind! You can't ask for more in an at home facial system, your skin will truly thank you!
