Fall and Winter have arrived, and suddenly we are looking for the bottle of lotion to throw into the purse. We need to add extra moisture daily to fight off the itchy dryness that comes along with heated cars, lower humidity, and frosty temps. There are some things your body needs in the colder weather, so here are a few tips:
1. Stay Hydrated. Our bodies are made up of 70% water and our skin, the largest organ, can weigh up to 8 pounds! Purchase a water bottle that holds the amount of water you wish to drink each day. Try to drink the water slowly through out the day. If you don't drink it all, don't try to chug it at the end of the day. This will allow you to easily see how much water you are consuming.
2. Eat Healthy Fats and Oils. Use oils that are rich in Omega 3's like extra virgin olive oil and eat foods with concentrated sources of omega-3 fats like avocados, walnuts, flaxseeds, beans, fish, and winter squash.
3. Change up Your Cosmetics and Cleansers. Avoid products containing petroleum based alcohol, which is very drying to the skin and hair on contact. Read and become familiar with ingredients! Replace household cleaners with healthier alternatives such as baking soda, lemon juice, vinegar, and tea tree oil.
4. Have a Home Spa Party. Light a few candles and put on some relaxing music. Take a nice warm bath (water too hot can dry out skin) and add in rich oils and herbal detoxifiers like BATH OIL and BATH TEA rather than soaps or bubble bath. After bathing, apply SOFT to your hands or feet. Slip plastic bags over and cover with a woven glove or socks.
