Winter Beauty Care
Survival Guide
PART 1 OF A SPECIAL 2-PART HOLIDAY BEAUTY SERIES
By A|DECIBEL EDITORIAL STAFF | DEC. 13, 2018
‘Tis the season to be merry! While this time of year is magical, it can also be the busiest and most stressful few weeks on our bodies—especially our skin. That’s why we decided to hit the breaks, and perform a little self-care, amidst all the holiday dashing and prancing.
With a little help from A|DECIBEL readers, we thought it would be festive to conduct a two-part holiday beauty series, to review the same products as mentioned by fashion, beauty and lifestyle journalist, Amy E. Goodman, whom we also featured earlier this month.
In Amy’s beauty review blog, she features several beauty products that pledge to keep our skin, hair and feet hydrated, refreshed and renewed, ensuring that we look and feel our best during this holiday season.
In part one of a two-part beauty series, here is what A|DECIBEL Product Picks Consumer Panel reviewers had to say about these products.
