One morning while I was chatting
with my daughter she has raised her brows and asked me.. what happened to u mom -your
skin look so dull and dry has lost it’s glow..pl take care of yourself, but "me" as usual with over confident ... I snapped her back- I am a grandmother now!! I don't care for my looks ....but deep inside me I knew, my skin is showing it's age.
This is the major problem with my age group friends now. Yes it's time to pamper our skin now.
First of all have to stop hot water bath which robs skin of moisture causing dry skin, so it's best to shower in lukewarm water.

I can't bear this rule I really can't – but I
will try to keep my showers short and try showering only once per day.
This
also means skipping hot tubs (another rule I simply cannot bear). The hot, hot
temperature, combined with drying chemicals, is torture on dry skin.
The same rule
applies to hand-washing: Wash hands in lukewarm, never hot, water (this is a
rule I firmly abide by). If your skin turns red, the water is simply too hot.
Dry skin conditions are a
common problem for many people, especially those who live in colder regions and
experience the winter season. Keeping your skin healthy is important for your
well-being. This should be the most important reason to get your skin hydrated.
I learned the secret of year-round skin care years ago. In just a few weeks,
you can transform your dry skin into a healthy glow.
Dry, cracked skin is a direct
result of a lack of water causing dry skin and premature aging. In order to
tackle dry skin you must first know the factors that cause the problem.
There are many factors that
cause dry skin. Most traditional soaps and moisturizers in main stream stores
contain harsh chemicals that irritate and dry the skin. It is very important to
buy organic soaps and moisturizers that contain nutrients to hydrate and condition.
Environmental pollution is
another cause of dry skin. This can be a tough one to avoid depending on where
you live. However, you can help combat the effects of pollution by eating smart
foods, drinking plenty of water to hydrate and remove toxins, and using organic
lotion and oils to protect your skin.
The reason dry skin tends to be
worse in the winter, is because there is a shortage of moisture (water) in the
air, thus low humidity. Cold weather will dry out the skin, so it is important
to apply more oils and organic moisturizers during the winter months.
It is also beneficial to avoid alcohol,
tobacco and caffeine if possible because they are promoting water loss .If you do not drink enough
water, then you are not going to have healthy skin. It is essential to drink at
least 8 glasses of water a day to hydrate your skin and to remove toxins from
the body.
Eat foods that will
provide your body with the proper nutrients to nourish your skin. Essential
fatty acids are important for great skin. walnuts, and fish is also a great.
Many people do not
realize how significant getting rid of dead skin is. It helps obtain healthy
skin and removes toxins from the body. Dead skin can build up so that oils and
moisturizers cannot do their job. This should actually be the first thing you
do to combat dry skin and sea water and
salt scrubs to get rid of dead skin.
Try to avoid too
much exposure to cold, hot or windy weather.
Hydrating your skin
with moisturizers and oils balances your skin's natural oils. It is important
to hydrate right after you take a bath.During the winter
months you might need to moisturize 2-3 times daily to ensure skin is hydrated.
Great oils and moisturizers
Almond oil. This oil
contains vitamins and minerals for softening the skin.
Aloe vera. It is known
for its skin healing properties, but many people are unaware that it contains
vital nutrients which have anti-aging effects.
Avocado. This super food
can be used on the skin and is rich in vitamins. These are all the
nutrients your skin needs to looks its best.
Citric acid. Also known as vitamin
C, citric acid has antioxidant properties that the skin needs to stay healthy
and vibrant moisturizers that
contain citric acid because it is a natural and nourishing preservative opposed
to chemical preservatives which dry the skin.
Coconut oil. This is one of my favorite oils
to use during the winter. It contains vitamin E, which nourishes and provides a
protective layer to hold moisture into the skin. .
Vitamin E. This is a great antioxidant for
your skin that increases circulation and helps heal injured skin.
