How to Salvage your Skin from Winter's Wrath

1.  Moisturize, Moisturize, and Moisturize.  Winter can really wreak havoc on our skin making it extremely dry.  As all of you may know dry skin leads to ….yes our worst enemy WRINKLES!!!  Find a moisturizer that is oil based, most night creams are oil based so they will work.    The oil will create a nice protective layer on the skin.  Look for non-clogging oils like primrose oil, mineral oil, or avocado oil.  I personally like to apply a nice amount of avocado oil on my skin before I go to sleep.  This is a nice cost effective way to keep my skin hydrated.

 2.   Hydrate your body.  This is not only through applying body oils or lotions.  You hydrate your body by drinking lots of water.   Remember, drinking water also aids in losing weight, and plumping our skin which you guessed it, prevent wrinkles and aging.  In order to determine how much water you need to drink, take your weight and divide it by 2, that will give you the number of ounces you should intake in 1 day.  You can divide the ounces by 8 to determine how many glasses.

 3.   Don’t forget those hands.  Our hands have thinner skin than most of our body.  It’s easy to forget our hands when our main focus is our hair, face, and body (figure).  I like to apply castor oil or coconut oil on my hands throughout the day.  I am also a big fan of Bio Oil.  Bio oil is light but serves the purpose.  Bio Oil is also great for reducing stretch marks and cellulite.  If anyone plans to get prego any time soon this oil is an essential for your belly.  I have gone through 2 pregnancies with this and thankfully no Stretch Marks.
