10 Tips for Beautiful Winter Skin

10 Winter Skin Care Tips:

1. Avoid long soaks in hot, soapy water. Relaxing in a hot bath sounds wonderful when you're cold, but hot, soapy water can remove the protective oils from your skin

2. Use a mild bath product or one that is pH balanced. Look for natural ingredients
Pat your skin to dry it – don't rub

3.Apply a shielding lotion right after the bath or shower to help the skin's protective layer stay intact

4. Reapply every four to six hours to maintain the integrity of the layer all day

5. Look at the ingredients on any product you buy to treat severe itching. Stay away from those with chemicals that could make the condition worse

6. Moisturize from the inside out. What you eat affects the condition of your skin. Add walnuts, Canola Oil and ground flax seeds to your diet

7. Eat foods rich in Vitamin E – green leafy vegetables and wheat germ flakes

8.Drink at least eight glasses of liquid – preferably good water. Stay away from sodas or drinks with caffeine, which dry the skin

9. Use a humidifier to increase the level of moisture in the air

10. Treat your skin right in the winter months and you'll have healthy glowing skin to put on show once summer arrives.

Use these tips and use NATURAL products. Less chemicals the better!
