Here are a few tips and options to keep your skin looking beautiful this winter without breaking the bank. The best part is they are accessible and natural.


Prevent Dry Skin:

• Use lukewarm-warm water when washing your face and showering. Hot water will dry your skin out quicker. 
• Exfoliate weekly with a body scrub. Exfoliated skin will absorb moisturizer better than skin covered in dead skin cells.
• Moisturize after every shower or bath.
• Carry hand cream in your handbag and use after every hand wash.

Nourish Dry Skin:

1) Avocado mask: This is as simple as it gets. Avocado oil is non-clogging and Tie your hair back away from your face and remove all makeup form the skin and the eyes. In a small bowl, smash up an avocado
2) Make your own "Moisturizing Deep Treatment" by slathering on a thick or heavier moisturizer on your hands and feet. Wrap in saran wrap and put on a pair of gloves/socks. Allow to sit for 20-30 minutes for maximum effects.
