3 Winter Natural Homemade Beauty Tips
Winter brings devastating effects to your body and more so to your skin. People complain of dry skin, cracking, irritation and other effects which take a toll on our attempts to look attractive and beautiful during this season. However, preventing these unwanted effects during the winter season does not have to involve costly, artificially-made products or tips but can be done using natural and homemade beauty products, achieving similar or even better results. Here are three winter natural homemade beauty tips that will leave your skin beautiful and attractive for a minimal budget.
Watch what you drink
Although the rate at which healthy bodies get dehydrated in cold seasons is much lower than in summer or hot seasons, it is important to watch what we drink. To be well-hydrated we need to drink plenty of water as well as reduce caffeine and alcohol intake. Adequate water levels in the body keep your skin well-hydrated and nourished while intake of excess caffeine and alcohol leads to dehydration as the body gets rid of toxins. If you must drink alcohol make sure you also drink enough water in between drinks and also ensure you do not over do it.
Use chocolate as a face mask
Your favorite product not only makes you happy, an additional benefit for those who are looking for healthy and attractive skin but can also be used to mask your face against the harsh effects of the winter season. Research has shown clearly that cocoa, which is found in dark chocolate has high amounts of anti-oxidants, ideally more than one would find in green and black tea or red wine. The anti-oxidants get rid of free radicals which have a damaging effect on skin cells. It also has a high content of flavanol, a component that helps in improving the skin’s appearance through a reduction in loss of water, improvement of body fluids circulation and protecting the skin against harsh sun rays.
Almond body scrub
If you want to moisturize and exfoliate your skin, an almond body scrub will give you the desired effects. Almonds have vital ingredients such as magnesium, Vitamin E and some healthy fats which work from inside as well as outside the body. So apart from consuming it, you can prepare an almond body scrub using almond oil, honey, and vanilla. The mixture of these three components should be scrubbed on the body after you have bathed. This will give you the protection needed to ensure that your skin remains beautiful despite the harmful effects of the cold season.
