Winter Skin Care Tips – Eyes
Our eyes are one the most sensitive areas on our bodies. Protecting your eye area is a very important part of your daily skin care routine.
Winter Skin Care Tips – Eyes
During the winter, when the days are shorter we spend more time inside, often under florescent lighting. The cold air has low humidity and the heating systems in our homes dry out our eyes. All these factors contribute to our eyes tending to look tired, red and puffy.
We recommend doing an eye mask with green tea or cucumber. A collagen eye mask will not only sooth your eyes but will also help with preventing signs of premature aging. Use an eye cream daily and treat your eyes with care.
Winter Skin Care Tips – Lips
Lips 
We often tend to neglect our lips until they are dry, chapped and sore. Winter’s dry air is hard on them. One of the best things you can do for your lips in the winter is use a lip treatment regularly. First, you gently exfoliate the lips to remove the dead cells, after, apply a mask for about 3 minutes, letting it sink into the skin and then wipe it off. Last, apply a lip balm with Vitamin E and Vitamin C, it penetrates at the cellular level, replenishing, repairing and hydrating molecules, giving you soft, supple lips.
Winter Skin Care Tips for Face
The winter season with its first snowfall has its beauty. However icy temperatures, low air humidity and indoor heat simply pull out moisture from the skin. Add to the environmental factors hot showers and harsh soaps and what you are left with is dry, itchy and flaky skin. The dehydration process also disrupts cell turnover, leading to an avalanche of dead cells and a lifeless, dull skin. 
The solution is to understand that your skin has different needs during the changing seasons and increase your layers of support with proper skin care.
1. Talk with a professional who can analyze your skin type and condition to recommend appropriate care products for your skin.
2. Use a gentle foaming cleanser or cleansing milk. Add a hydrating mask. Avoid alcohol based toners.
3. Say goodbye to your water-based summer moisturizer and use one with emollients such as natural oils, like jojoba, almond or olive. A good winter moisturizer should have humectants such as hyaluronic, lactic and glycolic acids as it will attract water from the dermis into the epidermis.
4. Layer a hydrator under your moisturizer, a serum or hydrating booster to increase your level of protection against the environmental factors. If you are concerned with pre-mature aging make sure you use a product with retinol, it will help with cell turnover.
5. Sunscreen isn’t just for the summertime. Winter sun combined with snow glare can still damage your skin. Defend against ultraviolet rays with moisturizing sunscreen and antioxidants-especially if you engage in winter sports.
6. Drink plenty of water or Green Tea with honey and lemon to boost Vitamin C and antioxidants intake. Consider investing in a humidifier.

Exfoliants – A Neccessary Component in Maintaining Healthy Skin
Exfoliants are a necessary component in maintaining skin’s health and protection against the environment. A result of not exfoliating enough can show up as dull skin, poor texture and an increased aged appearance on your skin. Too much exfoliation can result in oversensitive skin.

Properly Cleansed Skin Improves the Appearance and Health of Your Skin
Cleansing the skin is essential, since grease, grime and pollution adhere to your skin and clog the pores, every time your body rids itself of toxins through perspiration.
If you do not thoroughly cleanse your skin, it will look ruddy and un-healthy and can result in minor skin irritations and problems. Your skin type is determined by your age, sex, genes and environment. How you take care of your skin will show on your hands, face and body. It is never too late or too early to start caring for your skin – to accomplish that glow that enhances your beauty.
Here Are Tips For Choosing The Correct Cleanser For Your Skin:
- Shiny and oily skin that is susceptible to pimples and other blemishes should be cleansed by using a “foaming wash”: this offers a clean after using and will not strip your skin of its natural, beneficial oils.
- Dry skin, with a tight feeling, no shine and no open pores, should be cleansed with“cleansing milk” which is formulated for dry skin. Dry skin needs a gentle cleansing formula that will add moisture and replace lost oil in the skin that is replenished by most cleansing milks.
- Combination skin refers to skin having an oily “T zone”, meaning the forehead, mouth, chin and nose. This area of the skin normally has large and open pores and the cheeks are generally normal or dry. Use a cleansing gel to clean your face as will cleanse your skin gently and will not leave your skin harsh and dry after cleansing.
- Mature skin or skin that which is losing its “elasticity”. With this type of skin, facial lines will be apparent on the skin’s surface the skin tends to be very dry. A vitamin “E” rich “cleansing milk” will be perfect for this skin type, it provides nourishment for your skin.
Facial Peels, Scrubs And Exfoliants;
Scrubs and exfoliants are generally formulated with a creamy base that contains fine grainy elements. The finer grains, the more efficient it is in exfoliating the face as it lifts out dirt particles that clog the pores.
Dermatologists recommend using peels, exfoliant and scrubs once a week to deeply clean the pores.
Fine granule exfoliants are gentler on the face than those with larger granules that can irritate or scratch your skin. Peels are generally applied and left on the face to dry for approximately 15 minutes or so before peeling them off. Choose mild peels to avoid irritation.
When problems arise during the use of these products, stop their use and immediately consult a dermatologist.
Summer Living – Skincare, Foods, Hydration and more…
Summer living and the time is right. Whether enjoying some sun on the beach, in the garden or up in the mountains, it’s essential to protect our skin, hair and body. Here are a few things to consider this summer when you head out the door into the glorious sun, Enjoy!
Sunscreen:
It’s essential to protect our skin from the sun, both before and after exposure: If you choose to spend a lot of time in the sun, you should have a sunscreen that is safe and effective. Keep in mind that there is no such thing as a “sun block” that will protect you against 100% of the UV rays. Your best protection from the sun is to moderate your sun exposure and to wear protective clothing. If you do need a sunscreen, you should look for a mineral zinc oxide sunscreen that has a base of natural and organic ingredients such as shea butter or jojoba oil. After sun exposure, a good aloe vera gel or a soothing shea butter based balm will do wonders for sun-parched skin.
Summer Haircare:
Summer may bring glorious visions of natural highlights and long windblown hair. The reality? Summer sun, spiraling hot temperatures and related humidity may damage your hair’s cuticle resulting in dry, drab, split, brittle or frizzy hair and ragged ends. Sun exposure can be just as damaging to unprotected tresses as a super hot blow dryer. 
- Shampoo less often to allow tresses to absorb natural oils.
- During summer months when hair tends to be moisture deprived, go longer in between color traetments
- If you normally use hot styling tools (blow dryers, flattening iron), give your hair a rest during summer months. Air dry whenever possible or opt for easy chic styles.
- When you cleanse be sure to apply a rinse-out conditioner appropriate for your hair, and then after towel blotting tresses apply a drop or two of a great leave-in conditioner. Also add a deep conditioning treatment once a month.
- Consider wearing a super cute large sun hat, covers hair and your face.
Foods for healthy summer living:
A healthy summer diet should include green leafy veggies and fruits with high water content. Avoid eating out as much and opt for home made fresh food. Instead of frying and cooking vegetables, it is better to eat steamed vegetables, and include seasonal fruits and vegetables in your diet. As they contain the required elements to fight with excessive heat. Reduce the intake of excessive salt in your food. Avoid adding extra salt to your food, it disturbs the functioning of glands that produces sweat. Improper functioning of sweat glands can increase the chance of heat stroke.
Water, water, water: 
Drink plenty of water. Water is the most essential element of the body. 70% of our body is made up of water, thus it is necessary to provide our body with required amount of water. During summer, our body looses excessive amount of water which leads to dehydration. Dehydration is the worst condition, where body suffers from numerous problems. Drink an ample amount of water before leaving the house and carry water with you if you are planning to be out in the sun.
