Here are some tips to keep your skin smooth and hydrated during the cold and dry season.
Stick with foods that are moist, unctuous and heavy, indulging in watery foods such as soups and avoid dry, crunchy, salty foods as often as possible. Dry foods may help further dehydrate the skin. Drink plenty of warm water and teas adding warming spice blends.
In winter months, dry brush skin, massage oil in to skin and THEN shower. The oil will protect the skin from the drying effects of water.
The pores tend to close up more in the winter so stick to your exercise regime and make sure to work up a sweat daily to keep the body releasing toxins through sweat.
