Our skin needs to be well moisturized and nourished to get rid of dryness in winter. Dry skin is the main cause of dull and stretchy feel. If our skin is not properly nourished, it loses excess moisture and even shows out wrinkles for many people. My aunt worried that she is getting wrinkles and fine lines over her face during winters. I recommended to use a good moisturizing soap as well as a body lotion everyday. Many branded products such as Nivea, Himalaya and Vaseline has good body lotions which keeps skin moisturized but still we can also prevent skin dryness and tightness in winter with few natural beauty solutions at home easily. The very first few skin friendly nourishing things that I get into my mind when I think of winter are
- Milk
- Honey
- Aloevera Gel
- Banana
- Olive oil
- Almonds
- Curd
- Glycerin
All of the above mentioned natural items are very effective in nourishing and moisturizing dry skin. If they are used properly in a correct preposition your skin can even beat the other cosmetics because all these things are all natural, free from chemicals, preservatives and side effect free. The other main goodness is they are easily available all time in your own kitchen :)
SKINCARE RECIPES FROM THESE NATURAL ITEMS
Milk and Honey Skin Tonic
I recommend everyone to use Milk and Honey as facial skin tonic to prevent dryness and improve your complexion. Do this every morning after cleansing your face to nourish your facial skin well and prevent dryness, removes tan, wrinkles and blemishes. It softens skin and gives a natural glow. As honey has natural bleaching properties, it also acts as a natural skin lightener.
Banana and Honey Mask for Glowing skin
Banana and honey mask can be used to prevent dryness as well as wrinkles and dark spots. Banana, when mashed and applied along with milk or honey effectively removes suntan and nourishes dry and lifeless skin to bring out a soft natural radiant glow, which makes you stay young forever.
Olive oil and Glycerin Skin Tonic for Extremely Dry Skin
To say about Olive oil and glycerin, they moisturizes even extremely dry skin in winter and keep them moisturized for long hours. They should be mixed in equal preposition and applied over your dry facial skin and left for 20 to 30 minutes. After leaving this natural skin tonic on your skin gently massage your face in circular motion with your finger tips. Wash off with clean and cold water. This can be done daily, even with some other essential oil to be a skin beauty even in winter :)
