Enjoy Beautiful Skin and Hair this Winter- Naturally!

Winter is a wonderful time of the year - holidays, warm fires, crisp air, and for many, fresh fallen snow. But the colder temperature and lower humidity affect the condition of your skin and hair.

Here are some suggestions for protecting your skin and hair:

1. The skin on your hands is thinner than in other areas of your body, and it needs extra protection and care. Make sure that after washing your hands you dry thoroughly and use a good hand moisturizer such as Handmade Natural Beauty’s Moisturizing Lotion Bars. Wearing gloves outdoors will also protect them and keep your skin soft.

2. Feet are completely covered in the winter months, and usually forgotten until spring. Boots can cause friction that creates a buildup of thick skin. Pampering yourself with a pedicure at home with Handmade Natural Beauty’s Peppermint and Tea Tree Oil natural foot care including scrubbing with a natural loofah sponge will remove any problems here.

3. Sun protection is very important in the winter months, just as it is year-round. Many people forget to use sunscreen, but sun reflects off snow and ice, and you can actually get double the sun exposure.

4. Protect your lips with a good lip balm, and avoid licking your lips as much as possible, since that will cause your lips to crack and chap. If you get a bad case of chapped or cracked lips, try using a natural lip balm containing aloe vera and vitamin E before bed, and you should be good to go in the morning.

5. Winter winds and low humidity are also hard on your hair, and using a rich, deep hair conditioner is important to restore moisture to your hair.

6. One way to keep your skin in great shape is getting a massage. You don't have to go to a specialist for this: just get out your favorite massage oil and ask a family member to give you a quick massage. Then relax and enjoy the experience and the benefits.

Enjoy your beautiful skin and hair this winter!
