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!
