It seems the moment cooler weather arrives our skin and hair feel the affects; dry, rough hands, tight skin and fly-aways.\u00a0 Not to worry, there are remedies for these problems.\u00a0 By adding a few products or ingredients to your existing regimen, you will be flake and fly-away free in no time.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s take it from the top:\u00a0 our tresses.<\/strong>\u00a0 Once temps drop many experience limp, lifeless and parched locks.\u00a0 I have long used organic argan oil <\/a>on my hands nightly to keep them soft and supple and have surely heard that the oil can be used on hair, but was always a little too cautious to go for it.\u00a0 Well, I recently threw caution to the wind and have been using a bit (no more than 2-3 drops is needed) of this super-oil in my towel dried hair after washing.\u00a0 Not only does it keep ends from drying out, but it adds a little bounce and shine too.\u00a0 My stylist even noticed the difference.\u00a0 Simply amazing stuff and a little goes a super long way.<\/p>\n Now on to skin.<\/strong>\u00a0 My absolute fave skin care product is organic rose hip oil<\/a>.\u00a0 This stuff can be used year round as a moisturizer for delicate eye area skin and also as a spot-lightener and zit-zapper.\u00a0 But I like to use it on my entire face, morning and night, through colder months under my moisturizer for extra hydration.\u00a0 It also seems to add a little glow to the skin and, again, a little dab will do ya\u2019.<\/p>\n The area where I notice dry skin first is my hands.<\/strong>\u00a0 The minute humidity was gone from our days they turned up dry and scaly (yuck!) and the usual nightly argan oil treatment was not cutting it.\u00a0 So, I grabbed my copy of The Green Beauty Guide by Julie Gabriel<\/a> for an instant fix and found her recipe for Hand Rescue Cream.\u00a0 This cream is easy to make and requires only a few easily obtainable ingredients.\u00a0 Whip it up in just a short time and you will have this amazingly rich hand balm.\u00a0 Slather it on before bedtime, don a pair of cotton gloves and your digits will be much happier come morning.\u00a0 Here’s the recipe:<\/p>\n 1\/2 ounce beeswax<\/p>\n Juice of one freshly squeezed lemon<\/p>\n 1 tablespoon sweet almond oil<\/p>\n 5 drops lemon essential oil<\/p>\n 2 drops lavender essential oil<\/p>\n 1.\u00a0 Melt beeswax in a pan.<\/p>\n 2.\u00a0 Add the lemon juice and oils and stir with a wooden spoon until blended.<\/p>\n 3.\u00a0 Transfer to a jar.\u00a0 Shake occasionally until the cream is cooled and uniform.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Since a thick and rich hand cream isn\u2019t conducive to most of our daytime activities a couple of truly wonderful moisturizers for hands are Weleda Sea Buckthorn Hand Cream<\/a> and Skin Lemon Mousse Hand Cream<\/a>.\u00a0 Both are great at moisturizing dry skin without any greasiness.\u00a0 And the Skin Lemon Mousse smells delicious.<\/p>\n So, try a few of these terrific products for dry skin, drink lots of water and you\u2019ll be plumped up and perky all winter long.<\/p>\n Image credit:\u00a0 calico courtney brooke at Flickr.com, Creative Commons license.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It seems the moment cooler weather arrives our skin and hair feel the affects; dry, rough hands, tight skin and fly-aways.\u00a0 Not to worry, there are remedies for these problems.\u00a0 By adding a few products or ingredients to your existing regimen, you will be flake and fly-away free in no time.
