Now that it’s officially spring, it’s time for a beauty routine refresh. Cold temps, windy snowboarding trips, and a quick but sunburny trip to the Dominican Republic left my skin feeling just a little stressed out. Luckily, I had a few goodies from the Murale Spring 2019 preview to give me a hand with repairing the damage. If you’re in need of a few new goodies to bring your glow back this spring, check out some of my faves from Murale (and Shoppers Drug Mart) below.
ORGANIC PHARMACY Skin Brush, $23
Not only does dry brushing boosts circulation and lymphatic system, but it also helps with avoiding ingrown hairs post-waxing, and is great for gentle exfoliation. I’ve been using mine religiously after my sunburn and not only did it feel great, it helped me get rid of the dreaded peeling in no time.

STRIVECTIN Blue Rescue™ Clay Renewal Mask $49
This multi-tasking clay mask uses nourishing oceanic extracts and balancing probiotics to reduce the look of fine lines, enlarged pores, rough texture and dullness in just ten minutes. The massage-activated formula goes from white to an ocean blue colour as it smooths, reduces redness and boosts radiance.

FILORGA NCEF-NIGHT MASK $95
Night masks are my fave…the active ingredients work hard overnight to make your skin look more rested and more youthful when you wake up…what’s not to love?! And this one from Filorga is top-notch. Peptides boost hyaluronic acid and collagen to smooth wrinkles and plump the skin, silk tree extract stimulates melatonin, a natural sleep regulator, for a well-rested appearance, and red indigo extract fights the negative effects of daily stress for a more radiant complexion.

PATCHOLOGY Resting Beach Face Soothing Sheet Mask + Lip Gel Kit, $20
This kit was a life-saver! I actually brought one soothing sheet mask with me on the plane, and it helped my dehydrated skin be less dehydrated. Soothe Sheet Mask: Created with the best ingredients from Mother Nature’s medicine cabinet, this masque is a five-minute remedy. Aloe Vera and Cotton Seed Extract are natural anti-inflammatories that help soothe and calm redness. Schisandra Berry de-stresses skin and improves moisture for a plump, youthful glow. Bursting with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, this blend of Rosemary, Sage, and Lavender helps repair irritated skin. Hydrating Lip Gel: Instantly moisturizes dry lips. Each five-minute biodegradable lip mask combines ingredients like Peptides to improve elasticity, Green Tea to soothe, and Niacinamide to prevent water loss.

TEAOLOGY White Tea Miracle Drops $49
If you already use a serum and a good moisturizer, but still suffer from dry skin, this product may just be the answer. It really does leave the skin feeling softer and more moisturized. The formula is an effective anti-aging concentrate, containing a precious White Tea infusion, full of powerful antioxidant polyphenols (Epigallocatechin EGCG), combined with a peptide complex that helps re-densify skin tissue. Stabilized Vitamin C enhances the complexion’s brightness and stimulates collagen production. When used every day, skin appears fresher, smoother and more radiant.
