If your
skin is anything like mine, it mercilessly flakes during the winter
months. I'm talking constant flakey nastiness, even when I take extra
pains to moisturize it. I have been vigilant about it this year,
however, and have pretty much eradicated the dry skin from my face.
Here's what I've been doing:
* Weleda Wild Rose Smoothing
Night Cream. This is major TLC for dry, parched skin and it has the
loveliest scent! If you're not a fan of rose, check out their other
scent options. This cream can make you a bit greasy, so be sure to
use a small amount. I've been slathering this on to keep my skin
moist.
* Omega 3 supplements. I take these twice a day. I
feel like I'm lubricating myself from the inside out when I take
them, and they're also great for brain and heart health.
*
Neocell Collagen supplements. These may not help so much with
moisture, but they keep your skin looking smooth and fabulous!
*
Phytoceramide supplements. These are nourishing to the skin.
*
Honey and Apple Cider Vinegar in hot water. I feel like the
honey lubricates from the inside out, much like the Omega 3
supplements, and works as an internal remedy for all-around health
and vibrancy. The ACV is just miraculous for a host of concerns or
ailments.
* Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe, Herbs,
and Rosewater. This doesn't have a completely natural list of
ingredients, but I find it does help to moisturize my skin.
Especially when my skin is on the dry side and my makeup emphasizes
this fact. I like to spray this over my face after applying foundation.
