"Heat loss from cold conditions restricts circulation in the surface of skin, which is essential to skin’s health, vitality, and youthful appearance. Internal hydration is an important part of keeping the skin moist and warm. Easting foods that are high in essential fatty acids like extra oils from olive, almonds, borage, wheat germ and flax are necessary for keeping skin supple from the inside," explains celeb aesthetician Tammy Fender, who combines an extensive knowledge of botany, aromatherapy, medical science and chemistry along with a personal commitment to a healthy, balanced holistic lifestyle. "Pure essential oils penetrate deep into the skin to warm, feed and nourish the skin’s delicate tissues, promoting circulation and providing the ultimate moisture barrier to prevent natural moisture from escaping the skin."

While creating signature skin care products for use during her facials, the response was overwhelming, leading her to create Tammy Fender Holistic Skin Care. Prepared in small batches, every formula begins with fresh herbal infusions, during which herbs are steeped in water and prepared into a tea; therapeutic grade essential oils and organic and wild-crafted herbs are then blended into the mixture. While the custom-blended formulas deliver great skin, they also address the emotional level, thanks to an approach to beauty rooted in the ancient philosophy of yin and yang, with yin pertaining to the structure of cells, tissues and organs, while yang relates to the body’s energy, or chi. Small wonder celebs like Julianne Moore, Alicia Silverstone, and Melania Trump are fans.

For winter, Fender recommends her Cleansing Milk, which contains soothing lavender, aloe butter, chamolie flower & jojoba; Capillary Strengthening Blend with Neroli and Carrot Seed; Intensive Repair Balm to increase circulation, reduce redness, promote elasticity, nourish skin and provide a thick moisture barrier; and Firming Eye Gel with Elder, Chamomile, Rose Hip Seed, Borage, Green Myrtle and Nettle to moisturize and increase elasticity & microcirculation for softness.
