Winter has arrived, so before your skin has a chance to feel the effects of the cold, dryness and wind, bolster your skincare routine with these natural tips that will keep it feeling invigorated, fresh and soft.
Here are 5 natural things you can do at home to keep your skin rejuvenated during winter.
1- Swap your moisturizer. Use a rich, oil-based moisturizer during the winter months. This will help seal water in your skin and will keep it more moisturized than water-based face lotions.
2- Avoid chemical-filled soaps. Not only is your skin your largest organ, but it’s highly permeable – meaning that what you put on your skin is likely to go into your body and bloodstream. Plus, antibacterial soaps, skincare products containing alcohol and fragrance-filled soaps strip your skin of natural oils.
3- Dab on some coconut oil. Virgin organic coconut oil serves as a highly effective product for skincare. Coconut oil fights free radical damage, possibly due to its high levels of ferulic and p-coumaric acid, and its natural antioxidant properties keep your skin looking youthful.
4- Gently exfoliate. As the body ages, its natural ability to regenerate new layers of skin slows down. Gentle exfoliation will slough off old skin cells and reveal fresh, glowing skin.
5- Munch on veggies. Cucumbers and celery naturally contain a lot of water – which makes them a perfect snack when you’re trying to keep yourself and your skin hydrated. Orange and yellow veggies – like sweet potatoes, carrots, red peppers and pumpkin – are great for your skin due to the antioxidant, beta-carotene. And to boost your consumption of vitamins A, B and E.
