[Editor's Picks] 5 Winter Wellness & Hydration Hero's

Hello again, and happy December! We have officially arrived at the beginning of the winter and holiday season. With that, temperatures are sadly dropping, and that can only mean one thing for me: dehydration. Colder weather months send my combination skin into its dry era, and let's just say that without the right products, I would be riding the struggle bus. Luckily, I have created intentional self-care rituals designed to replenish what winter can sometimes deplete in the body and mind. 

Our December issue does the same with exciting content that cover all the topics and trends you may be seeing as the year comes to a close. To encapsulate winter wellness, we have articles that discuss winter hydration like "Warming Wellness Drinks for Winter" and we share hydrating protocols perfect for your December treatment menu. This month is also where we reveal our coveted "Top 10 Wellness Trends for 2025." This extensive feature breaks down all of the trends making waves in wellness, and why they should be on our radar for the following year. Finally, we could never forget our long-awaited Reader's Choice Awards 2024 winners announcement. Learn more about all the top voted products for 2024 and what brands you should be featuring in your services!
