What to do with dry skin in the winter season?
- Moisturize – Your skin needs protection, with age
our estrogen levels go down and our lines start to sneak in, a good
moisturizer is very important to make a layer of protection from the harsh
cold wind, central heating and low humidity. If you have dry skin moisturize twice a
day.
- Exfoliate – I exfoliate twice a week in the
winter months, only with natural products; sugar, honey and a little bit
of baking soda. Sugar is great to
get your dying skin off, honey to moisturize and baking soda for your ph
balance.
- Hydrate – Drink at least 10 glasses of distilled
or filtered water a day, this will make a big difference in your skin. After
I wash my face every morning and night I splash cold water in my face 12
times, this is a tip I read long time ago from a Hollywood actress and I
don’t remember who it was but it works great.
- What to eat – Omega 3 rich foods such as
walnuts, avocado, salmon and flax seeds.
Vitamin C rich foods such as kiwi, strawberries, papayas, oranges, bananas,
tangerines, guava, broccoli, dark leafy greens and bell peppers (all
colors).
- Feed your skin – Every other week I apply an
avocado mask with a little bit of olive oil in my face for 25 minutes and the
week in between an egg white mask, you really need this especially in the
winter. I will be talking more
about these masks in another blog.
Ideas & Tips:
Every morning I start my day
with a fruit smoothie, usually a banana and 4 strawberries, mixed in with
organic plain yogurt, orange juice and hemp.
Hemp has 13 amino acids and Omega 3, 6 and 9. It is a great to start your day, to have
great digestion and it works wonders for your skin. If you have a good digestion daily your skin
will glow.
The moisturizer I use daily
in my face is Vitamin E Oil 5,000 IU 4oz from Jason Natural Products
I have been using this product for
about 5 years, I also apply it warm in my hair for a deep treatment once a week and every night to my eyelashes and nails to keep them strong. It is inexpensive and it lasts about 4 months.
