As we move from fall to winter, my skin needs more pampering to help it adjust to the changes in temperature. In my latest beauty article for Who What Wear, "I'm 55 and Known for My Radiant Glow—Here's the Evening Routine I Live By," I highlight the clean beauty products I’m currently using each night so that my skin can stay hydrated and in the best condition throughout this season. This nighttime routine gives my skin the extra TLC it needs, especially during these drier months. Read on to see and shop for the products I am currently loving during this time!

Say hello to “Glow Girl Certified” clean beauty (and wellness)!

Indie Beauty Brands You’ll Want to Try from This Year’s Indie Beauty Expo
Did you know that when it comes to beauty, indie brands are one of the fastest-growing categories? I personally love discovering new brands and was thrilled to be chosen by the IndieBeautyExpo (IBE) to curate my own personal clean beauty boutique called onTUWI.
onTUWI stands for Team Up With Indie and it is a platform where influencers are asked to style a digital boutique with their favorite brands from the IndieBeautyExpo (IBE), which was held in Los Angeles last month. From close to 200 beauty, wellness and lifestyle brands, I chose 11 of my favorites that were represented at IBE, and I will be selling them through my online boutique at a 20% discount when you use the promotion code Melissam20.
My boutique will only be open for a limited time, so check out my fave picks below to see which ones you may want to try for yourself, and to read a bit more about each individual brand’s mission.
Click the images or shop buttons to purchase directly until March 31st and remember to use special promo code Melissam20 to receive 20% off all purchases!
