Let’s call it the ❄️ Dry Skin Survival Kit!
If your skin is drier because of colder temps and indoor heating, think about adding some of these to your routine:
🪮Dry Skin Brush
This is a natural bristle brush you can use before showering to gently exfoliate, slough off dead skin cells, and stimulate lymphatic flow.
🧽 Loofah
Using a loofah with soap and water in the shower is another way to gently exfoliate the skin. Careful not to overdo it because too much exfoliation can irritate the skin.
💧Humidifier
This can help with dry bedroom air.
🧴 Body Moisturizer
Look for a moisturizer that is free from parabens and fragrances.
🫧 Face Oil
Oils are what naturally moisturize our skin.
💋Lip Balm
Try a natural lip balm made with beeswax, shea butter, or coconut butter.
🥤Water Bottle
Staying hydrated is just as important for the skin in the winter as it is in the summer!
One last thing:
Eating nourishing foods with healthy fats and antioxidants can also help to keep your skin more naturally moisturized and protected from the elements.
