Glow for It, Houston: OVME Is Now Open

As soon as the temperatures drop below 60 degrees, our skin starts to look dry, red and flaky — hello, winter skin! Since skin is primarily composed of water, these low temps give way to a stark decrease in humidity, which literally sucks the water out of our skin cells, leading to that dehydrating effect. That's why when it comes to winter time — even in Houston! — it's a good idea to schedule a few hydrating facial treatments, and take care of any remnants of sun-damaged skin from the summer. That way, come spring, your skin is back to radiant.

Over the last few decades, Houston has quietly become a major player in the international beauty industry, a place where new brands — a la Drunk Elephant — go from clever pipedreams to celebrated bestsellers almost overnight. These days, despite the ongoing Covid crisis, H-Town continues to be sitting pretty, thanks to a handful of up-and-comers.
