Soothe Winter Skin
At this time of year, we're often greeted with the extra nip of winter in the air. Waking up to find tree branches frosted with ice crystals-beautiful? Yes. But, waking up to itchy dry winter skin-ugly!
Emu Oil
While it often seems that a beauty miracle is invented daily, it's refreshing when a new discovery turns out to be as old as the hills. When it comes to health and beauty aids, you'd be hard-pressed to find one with a longer history than emu oil.
Replacing the Rough With the Smooth
It happens to the best of us-that moment of embarrassment when we peel off winter gloves to reveal skin resembling a dried-out riverbed or that moment of shock when we notice the soles of our feet looking like old sandpaper.
Essential Oils for Feet
Our feet carry us many thousands of miles in a lifetime. So when they are tired, sore, ulcerated, infected, cracked, dry, or itchy, they can cause the rest of the body stress from these constant irritations. There are many reasons for foot problems, ranging from dehydration and mineral deficiencies to diabetes.
Is Your Skin Thirsty?
Your skin-your body's largest organ-acts as a barrier to the outside world, protecting your body's tissues and other organs from damage and infection. It also prevents loss of water and other body fluids and helps keep body temperature in control.
Tropical Topical
Unrefined, nutrient-rich shea butter offers many benefits for the skin and hair. It has been used to heal dry, itchy, scaly skin or scalps. The butter may also be used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, age spots, stretch marks, chicken pox marks, and scars.
Taming Winter
Old Man Winter sure does a number on your skin. Cold temperatures dry the air and rob skin of moisture, making us run for shelter, where artificial heat finishes the job - leaving our skin feeling rough and itchy.
Beauty Treats for Hands and Feet
If detergents can remove the oil from a frying pan, imagine what they do to your hands! January conjures up visions of winter holidays, white ski hills and evenings curled up by the fire.
Winter Glow
Flaky is great... for a pie. With cold, windy weather outside and dry, forced air heating inside, everybody experiences a little dry skin now and then.
Recover from Winter Skin
Have the winds of winter stripped the moisture, tone and color from your skin? Dry, scaly and/or itchy skin seems to be synonymous with winter. Low humidity can be a major culprit, but it is possible that low levels of vitamins A, C and B complex are to blame.
3-Step Cleansing
Excellent skin grooming isn't difficult, and doesn't have to be time-consuming or expensive. But it can be confusing. There is such an array of cleansing products, it's difficult to choose a cleanser that is just right for you.
