Winter Skin Care

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

Winter can make you and the body very lethargic. You can change all that if you give more attention to the food you eat such as warm and cooked meals, warm water, juices, light tea and some exercise can all be very helpful in taking care of your skin. Cleanse your face daily with your favorite cleanser every night which making your skin more supple and beautiful.

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.

Finding organic skin care product nowadays is indeed a difficult thing to do. However, there are ways wherein you can still find these products.

If there is no holistic store near you, then you can always make use of the Internet in finding an organic skin care product. There are various Internet-based holistic stores that offer a wide array of organic and all natural skin care products. They also provide natural supplements and hair care products. As long as you know what you are looking for, these Internet stores can bring you the product you want in a zap. Another benefit is that there is no need for you to travel to shop. You can do your shopping online at the comfort of your own home.

Another way to find quality organic skin care product is to visit your local crafts mall. You can also find them in local crafts fair. You can find the best and highest quality organic skin care products in these places. In fact, these products are often produced and processed at home. So you don’t have to worry about any harsh chemicals or synthetic preservatives.
