Skincare for Changing Weather Patters — Emulsion by Cosmedix

August 28, 2012

Katina is one of our fantastic Estheticians at milk + honey spa 2nd Street District. She has been working as an Esthetician and natural Nail Therapist for more than 15 years. She explains how to eliminate those dark circles from under your eyes.

Skincare for Changing Weather Patters

When the weather changes, the skin seems to follow. Many people who are used to their oily skin will now see normal or combination skin, and people who have normal skin will start to see a few dry patches emerge. Remember, you should not use the same skincare products year round. Just as you change clothes to protect yourself from the changing weather, you must change your products to protect your skin. Move towards products containing creamier, richer ingredients to help hydrate and nourish the skin.

To keep rough skin at bay, moisturize everyday! My personal favorite product to use in the winter and one of milk + honey’s top sellers, Emulsion by Cosmedix.

Emulsion by Cosmedix hydrates, soothes and contains antioxidants while stimulating collagen and providing a blend of nature’s perfect moisturizers such as jojoba and shea butter. Its unique, liquid crystal formulation is used to infuse your skin with intense moisture and is also a great product to use after a resurfacing treatment.

Austin Fashion Week Names milk + honey’s Alissa Bayer 2012 Trailblazer

August 20, 2012

The founder and owner of milk + honey, Alissa Bayer, is now the proud owner of the Golden Boot (pictured). That’s right, Austin Fashion Week named Bayer one of five recipients of the 2012 Trailblazer Award.

The Austin Fashion Awards were held at the Austin Music Hall on Saturday night and brought the week-long celebration to an end.

Matt Swinney, the Austin Fashion Week founder, told the Statesman.com, “It gets bigger and bigger every year, and I get most of the credit, but that’s not fair. It takes the entire community to put together.” Swinney says it’s rewarding every time “designers who have put their blood, sweat and tears into a collection trust us to do it justice here.”

milk + honey special events like hosting a private party at our Hill Country Galleria location showcasing designer Nancy Ferrell. The entire styling team from SALON by milk + honey participated in the final night of runway shows at the Driskill Hotel on August 17. Alissa is thrilled to be awarded the Trailblazer Award.
