10 Tips for Beautiful Skin

Whether you live in Laguna Beach or Louisville, your skin is bound to get weathered over the winter months. After lots of thorough research, we are here to share our top tips for beautiful skin.

Want beautiful Skin? Avoid Exfoliating! Even though you are dying to lose dry, flaky skin, we advise you slow down your exfoliating routine. You could be making the problem worse by removing what few natural oils are left in your skin. It's simply better to moisturize and to leave the exfoliating to only once a month, which essentially mimics the skin's natural scrubbing process.
Combat Windburn. The instant you step outside on a stormy day, you are going to have to fight windburn. The right way to avoid the agony (and look) of chapped skin is to cover up. We suggest first applying a heavier-than-normal moisturizer with petroleum to moisturize the skin aswell as to protect it from the wind. Then, you need to cover your face with a headband, or some other sort of shield. If windburn does happen, apply a calming relief before you sleep, and by morning, you are bound to see an improvement.
Don’t Skip the Sunscreen. Although you may be tempted to leave your house without sunscreen, it is just as important to use it in winter as in the summertime to keep your skin looking shiny, clear and beautiful. Just walking outside 2 to 3 minutes is sufficient to begin the process that causes skin damage. And although the burning UVB rays may not seem so scary in winter, the ageing UVA rays are still in force!
The Heat Is On. Heaters can dry out your skin at night, and is the reason why you'll wake up with dryer skin than when you went to bed. Try doubling up on moisturizing lotions before you hit the sheets, buy a hotter comforter which may cut back your power bills and help in the green fight against global warming by reducing your carbon footprint *and electricity bills!
Hand Sanitizer Solutions. Hand sanitizers are very good for combating any annoying winter germs, but be conscious of their drying effects, which can really invalidate their purpose. When the skin is dry, germs can enter through the minute cracks in your hands. If you're a standard user of sanitizers, ensure you apply hand cream straight after the gel has dried to keep hands soft and germ-free.
Select Cream. If you unwrapped one or two dozen body cream sets this christmas, put them to some good use (for once). We advise creams over lotions in winter because creams are thicker, therefore more moisturising to provide beautiful skin.
Scalp Cure. Conveniently, scalp skin isn't as susceptible to winter aridness as face skin, but that does not necessarily mean you can ignore it entirely. Our research suggests using a non-drying shampoo, and then massaging your conditioner into your scalp with your fingertips to effectively moisturize before rinsing.
Spot Treatment. Regardless of if you are susceptible to greasy skin, you can still get dry patches, which implies you need a multi-dimensional plan of attack. Apply an additional rich moisturizer on the dry spots, and then, continue to control oil in the T-Zone with either blotting papers or a moisturizer that is oil free.
Home-made treatments for Beautiful Skin. If you do not wish to run to your closest beauty supply store to stack up on winter creams, use petroleum jelly as a moisturising solution for additional dry patches like your knees and elbows, and even your lips. Petroleum jelly also can help in keeping uncontrolled eyebrows in order, so it's cool to have around. Products designed for youngsters work wonders on adults too, like Nature's Baby Organics Relaxing Stick for chapped and dry skin.
Healthy Habits. Even just ensuring to eat right and drink plenty of water will help to maintain healthy skin. The skin is the largest organ in our body, so similar things which make our bodies healthy will make our skin look healthy too. For most people, that implies eating lots of vegetables and fruits, small amounts of the best quality and fat free protein and reducing or avoiding sweet candy. Even in winter you want to remain active, and obviously, get sufficient sleep. We all look better after a good night’s sleep; a fact we frequently forget!
