Christmas is round the corner, which means winter has arrived and with it that itchy skin sensation. Don’t let winter rob you of your well-deserved joy!
Let’s take a look at a few tips on how to take care of your body during the harsh winter months.
Take lukewarm baths or showers
While it may be tempting to take a bath in real hot almost sizzling Jacuzzi like temperature water, you want to keep the water lukewarm as hot water strips your skin from its natural oils.
Exfoliate your skin
Removing dead skin cells and moisturizing to penetrate deeper into your skin is one of the most important things you can do for you body during wintertime. You can even try and put together your own homemade scrub with a few simple ingredients.
Try a lavender body scrub:
1/2 cup of coarse sea salt.
1/3 cup of grape seed oil
1 tablespoon of dried lavender.
16 drops of lavender essential oil.
Or, you can whip up a super simple coffee scrub:
1/4 cup raw sugar
1/4 cup ground coffee
1 tbsp. olive oil
2 tbsp. coconut oil
1 tbsp. sea salt
Take care of your face too
Your face will be screaming for extra pampering during winter. You also want to exfoliate this area at least 3 times a week. Plus, if you don’t have one already, it’s not a bad idea to purchase a night eye cream. The area around your eyes is real thin and needs extra care during the colder months of the year. You don’t want to look 15 years older in the upcoming Christmas parties, do you?
Don’t forget your sunscreen
Remember that while it may be cold outside, the sun is still shinning and those UV rays aren’t taking a vacation. Make sure you apply sunscreen daily, as the winter sun will still cause havoc on your skin.
