Natural Winter Skin Care
Winter is a wonderful time of the year
- holidays, warm fires, crisp air, and for many, fresh
fallen snow.
Bur the colder temperature and lower
humidity affect the condition of your skin and hair.
Here are some suggestions for protecting
your skin and hair:
1. The skin on your hands is thinner
than in other areas of your body, and it needs extra
protection and care. Make sure that after washing your
hands you dry thoroughly and use a good hand cream.
Wearing gloves outdoors will also protect them and keep
your skin soft.
2. Elbows, knees, and feet are completely
covered in the winter months, and usually forgotten
until spring. Clothing and boots can cause friction
that creates a buildup of thick skin. A good scrubbing
with a natural lofah sponge, followed by a rich cream
will remove any problems here.
3. Sun protection is very important
in the winter months, just as it is year-round. Many
people forget to use sunscreen, but sun reflects off
snow and ice, and you can actually get double the sun
exposure.
4. Protect your lips with a good lip
balm, and avoid licking your lips as much as possible,
since that will cause your lips to crack and chap. If
you get a bad case of chapped or cracked lips, use some
Vaseline Intensive care before bed, and you should be
good to go in the morning.
5. Winter winds and low humidity are
also hard on your hair, and using a rich, deep hair
conditioner is important to restore moisture to your
hair.
6. One way to keep your skin in great
shape is getting a massage. You don't have to go to
a specialist for this: just get out your favorite massage
oil and ask a family member to give you a quick massage.
Then relax and enjoy the experience and the benefits.
Here are some of the best natural beauty
ingredients available for winter skin and hair care:
Baking Soda - can be used as a deodorant,
bath powder, or tooth whitener. Mixed with water, it
helps remove residues from hairstyling products, making
your hair clean and shiny.
Beans - Finely ground until powder-like,
beans make a great cleanser for your face and body:
just add the powdered beans to your favorite cleanser
and massage into damp skin. Dry beans are rich in protein,
potassium and iron, all good ingredients for healthy
skin.
Citrus Fruit - contains citric acid,
which kills bacteria on the skin. Also, the fresh scent
is a known energizer. Rinse your hair with lemon juice
mixed with water when you hair is dull and tired.
Maple Syrup - can be used as a facial
mask, or hair conditioner, and it's one of the best
natural moisturizers. For best results, make sure you
look for syrup marked 100% pure.
Tea Tree Oil - this oil has very powerful
antibacterial and antiviral qualities, and it's easily
absorbed by the skin.
Enjoy your beautiful skin and hair this
coming winter!
