Winterize Your Skin

Natural Moisturiser - The winter months are particularly harsh on our skins. This is especially so in drier climates with extremes of cold outdoor temperatures and warm, dry air inside, causing dryness, itching or flaking. Increase the humidity indoors by using a humidifier – even the simple method of keeping a pan of water on the stove will help. You will have to be extra diligent about regular moisturizing applications.

Use oil based, natural moisturizers that absorb quickly into the deep underlying connective tissues to nourish and restore your skin, giving a healthier, more youthful appearance. Natural oil based creams will be far more effective than the water based lotions used during the summer. Moisturizing before going to bed is especially effective, making the most of all those hours for the body to be nourished whilst you sleep. The process of cellular regeneration is most active at night time while you are at rest.

A good tip is to use refillable dispenser for your moisturizer. This not only makes sense economically, but enables you to add a few drops of food grade, Vitamin E oil each time you refill. Vitamin E is the best aid to regenerating wrinkles and scar tissue.
