Winter is traumatic for skin, and here in Chicago it’s even worse! The harsh winds not only set chills down your spine but crack, peel and irritate your skin. We at CRAVE are firm believers in the importance of skin-care and we’ve asked some top women-owned spa’s how to combat the cold and make your skin look fierce! Here’s what they had to say…

Chocolate for Your Body Spa – Head on over to Pilsen’s Chocolate For Your Body Spa to replenish your skin with a little chocolate. Their tip: Add a few drops of rose, avocado or lavender oil to your moisturizer; they help fight aging, help even your skin tone and nourish the outer layer of skin. For more intense skin-care, indulge yourself in their Purifying Rose Body Wrap, Relaxing Rose Body Massage or Rose Facial.

Colette Salon and Spa – Take a break from your Magnificent Mile holiday shopping spree and stop by Gold Coast’s Colette Salon and Spa. Their tip: Be sure to switch-up your skin-care routine, instead of lotion use a cream-based moisturizer. They recommend using Guinot’s Moisturizing Care Package. If you want to take moisture one-step further, treat yourself to one of their relaxing specialty hydrating facials.

Kaya Day Spa – Wander on over to the West Loop’s Kaya Day Spa for the ultimate skin rejuvenation. Their tip: Exfoliate your skin and keep hydrated. Sloughing off the dead skin will give your skin a healthy, radiant glow. To let your skin breath try the O2 Experience, which nourishes your skin with oxygen while 87 different vitamins penetrate your skin. If you want moisturize your entire body, try their Hot Oil Infusion Treatment.

Each of the spa owners were pretty unanimous on a few things. In order to protect your skin, you must…

  1. Slather on sunscreen, apply a broad-spectrum to your face and hands.
  2. Get some sleep! If you don’t, oxygen will leave your body which causes it to dry out.
  3. And most importantly, drink more water!
