SKIN CARE IN THE WINTER

<span xmlns=""></span><br /> <span xmlns=""><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">As the winter months sets in, the weather turns colder, windier and drier, your skin will need some extra help and protection from the environment. Sometimes, the weather may change rapidly and you need to be prepared. Otherwise the skin on different parts of your body such as your hands, your face and your lips will begin to become dry, chapped and crusty.<br />Here some tips for you to care your skin</span><span style="font-family: Verdana;">:</span></span></span><br /> <ul> <li><span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 13pt;"><i>Start the day with a hot shower... but before you get out switch to cold water for about fifteen seconds. Then turn up the heat a little, and down again to repeat the process for about two minutes.Why would I want to do that?! I hear you cry! This is a simple hydrotherapy technique which revitalizes the skin by stimulating the flow of blood through the body. It is both invigorating and highly beneficial to the skin. So even though you may not really enjoy the process, just think of the all the good it's doing you! </i><br /> </span></span></li> <li><span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 13pt;"><i>Use a good moisturizer. Choose a highly protective day cream which contains zinc oxide, and provides SPF30 protection to form a barrier against the elements. Creamier, water-in-oil emulsions are best. And don't forget about your lips. Chapped lips are often the most noticeable problem for a lady in the winter. Use a highly moisturizing lip balm which provides a protective barrier, with vitamin E for good elasticity. </i><br /> </span></span></li> <li><span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 13pt;"><i>Exfoliate at least twice a week. This will remove dead cells and allow the skin to absorb extra moisture. The oil which we all complain about in the Summer is no longer being produced because of cooler winter temperatures and central heating. Therefore the skin looses the water which should be retained in the lower dermis of the skin. This can lead to premature aging of the skin and fine lines, whilst your skin can appear puffy and grey. Nice! </i><br /> </span></span></li> <li><span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 13pt;"><i>Drink a glass of hot water with lemon. This Chinese herbal remedy is a sure-fire method of energizing your body. It will de-tox your entire system, including the liver and gall bladder. This means that your body will be able to clean the blood faster to get rid of toxins responsible for bad skin. </i><br /> </span></span></li> <li><div> <span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 13pt;"><i>Simply sleep! Money can't buy the benefits of a good nights rest. Your oxygen levels will drop if you don't get enough sleep, meaning that your cells will not be renewed as quickly. This is when degenerative skin aging sets in. Try to get seven, if not eight or nine hours of rest a night to achieve absolutely painless benefits. It's ideal!</i><br /> </span></span></div> <span xmlns=""><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt;"><br /> </span> </span></li> </ul>
