Dry skin happens. It’s just part of winter. It’s even worse when you’re constantly going from inside heat to cold outside air. It causes your skin to tighten and become severely dehydrated. It’s so uncomfortable, makes your skin crack and flake and it’s just downhill from there. Nobody wants that. So why we want to share some tried and true natural fixes to help you save your skin this winter as well as how to pass the gift of healing on to others.
Exfoliate often. The more often you feel that tightening of your skin, the more often you should exfoliate. You can easily make your own scrub by mixing lemon juice and sugar and then gently massaging it into your skin. With a circular massage of the skin with this beauty scrub, rough spots on the face become even. The vitamins C in the lemons is a good astringent that lightens the skin tone, removes patches on the skin and encourages cell growth. Mix a teaspoon of sugar and mix it with juice of half a lemon, use cotton balls to scrub all over the face. Put a jar of it on your nightstand and apply it regularly. Want it less abrasive? Replace the sugar with baking soda.
Get into the steam. Moisturize efficiently. Get into a steam room or use a humidifier the most common rooms of your home. Humidifiers add a subtle moisture to the air, helping bring balance to your dry skin. We definitely recommend adding a few sprays of our Eucalyptus Oil ShowerMist to the room, the humidifier and also your steam room, sauna or shower. Eucalyptus in the air will not only open up the bronchial passages for better respiratory health and to cleanse the skin! It’s affordable, has a long list of health benefits and fits great as a stocking suffer!
Oils and creams. The right kind of moisture forms a protective layer on the skin keeping it safe by keeping it hydrated. Oils that are easily absorbed by the skin, such as coconut, jojoba and almond, tend to be better at keeping the real moisture in, allowing the skin the best nourishment possible. Coconut oil makes the skin feel softer and removes its previous scaly characteristic by moistening it in a natural way. Coconut oil has sufficient amounts of fatty acid that make up for any loss of moisture from the skin. It works best when left on for an entire night. Apply proper amount before going to sleep and wash it off in the morning; do this every night. Over the counter creams work well in the beginning but only leave a surface layer of hydration.
Drink up. No, not alcohol – that’s dehydrating! Drink more water and reduce your caffeine intake. Caffeine dehydrates the skin cells and causes inflammation. Drinking water does the opposite; calms the skin and nourishes the cells, causing you to adapt to the changing temperatures more easily and beautifully!

Everyone wants that fresh and dewy look, and why not? It keeps you looking youthful and full of life. But winter can be harsh with false heating and cold wind that dries you up and spits you out. Never you fear though, we specialize in bettering your health and getting your skin to glow with vibrancy.
Simple tips for glowing skin in spite of winter dryness
Drink plenty of water:
It’s not easy because you’re cold. Well, there’s a simple solution: heat it up. You can easily make some hot or warm water and add a splash of lemon or some mint leaves to create some instant flavor. Without being hydrated on the inside, your skin will inevitably stay parched on the outside.
Moisturize:
Use a quality, paraben-free moisturizer, even if you’ve got oily skin. Moisturizers help to balance the oil production while quenching your skin’s intense thirst.
Exfoliate:
It doesn’t cost a lot for this one. Just sprinkle a little baking soda into your daily cleanser about twice a week to add a little buff and shine to your skin. Baking soda not only sloughs off the dead skin but also helps neutralize your skin’s sensitive ph naturally and affordably.
Steam:
Open up your pores by cleansing and nourishing them in the steam of your shower for total hydration and renewal. Add only the best Eucalyptus Oil ShowerMist to the steam and your shower will turn into a total spa experience. You won’t believe the glow you’ll get from just this one tip. Eucalyptus cleanses the skin but also increases circulation, bringing more blood to the flush of your cheeks and more oxygen to each thirsty cell.
Dry skin is a real winter bummer, but you can beat it. Stop suffering from cracked and painfully parched skin.

Dry skin is an uncomfortable byproduct of winter. Going from an overly heated car or indoor space into the crisp cold winter air can be a real shock to your skin, causing tightening, dehydration, and flaking. Nobody wants that. That’s why we want to share some tried and true home remedies to an annoying problem.
Here are 3 Easy Ways to Prevent Dry Winter Skin
Exfoliation
An exfoliating scrub made by concocting lemon juice and sugar leaves your skin soft and glowing. Mix a teaspoon of sugar and mix it with the juice of half a lemon, using cotton balls to scrub all over the face. With a circular massage of the skin with this beauty scrub, rough spots on the face become even. Lemons remove patches on the skin and help skin cells regenerate. Put a jar of it on your nightstand and apply it regularly.
Steam
Winter is not a friend to dry skin. The heating in homes evaporates the water from the air, making it very dry. Humidifiers are useful at a time like this by adding moisture to the air and thus hydrating your dry skin. Also, add a few sprays of our Eucalyptus Oil ShowerMist to the room to enhance the health and wellness benefits. Eucalyptus in the air will not only open up the bronchial passages for better respiratory health but also cleanse your skin.
Moisturize
Moisture forms a protective layer on the skin by keeping it hydrated. Oils that are easily absorbed by the skin, such as coconut, jojoba, and almond, tend to be better at keeping the real moisture in, allowing the skin the best nourishment possible. Coconut oil makes the skin feel soft and removes its previous scaly characteristic by moistening it naturally. Coconut oil has sufficient amounts of fatty acid that make up for any loss of moisture from the skin. Applying oils like these work best when left on for an entire night. Rub on a generous amount before going to sleep and wash it off in the morning; do this every night. Over-the-counter creams work well in the beginning but only leave a surface layer of hydration.
Bonus tip?
Drink more water and reduce your caffeine intake. Caffeine dehydrates skin cells and causes inflammation. Drinking water does the opposite; it calms the skin and nourishes the cells, allowing you to adapt to the changing temperatures easily.

Just as we need protection, our skin needs care as well. The kind of care that our skin needs is determined by the type of skin we have. There are four types of skin-normal, oily, dry and sensitive and each type of skin has its own complications. Having a dry skin means experiencing tightness due to lack of moisture and a need for a proper lubricant to rehydrate it. Many home remedies can help improve your dry flaky skin on face.
