1. Seek a Specialist: Going to an esthetician is worth the investment. Such a specialist can analyze your skin, troubleshoot your current skin regimen and suggest products that will work for you.
2. Moisturize More: Find a moisturize in winter that is oil-based instead of water-based will help retain more moisture than a lotion.
3. Slather on Sunscreen: Sunscreen isn’t just for summertime. Winter sun, combined with snow glare, can still damage your skin.
4. Give Your Hands a Hand: The skin on your hands is thinner than other parts of your body. Wear gloves to avoid itchiness or cracking.
5. Avoid Wet Gloves and Socks: Both can irritate your skin and cause itching, cracking, sores, or even eczema.
6. Hook Up the Humidifier: They get more moisture in the air which helps prevent your skin from drying out. Placing several through the home disperses moisture evenly.
7. Hydrate for your Health: Drink water to stay healthy, not to keep your skin moist. Drinking more water is good for you, but doesn’t necessarily reflect how young your skin looks.
8. Grease Up Your Feet: Find lotions that contain petroleum jelly or glycerine and use exfoliants to get the dead skin off periodically.
9. Pace the Peels: Avoid hard peels, masks, or alcohol-based toners, or astringents if your skin is already very dry. Using a cleansing milk or mild foaming cleanser will be a better option.
10. Ban Superhot Baths: The intense heat of a hot shower or bath breaks down the lipid barriers in the skin, leading to a loss of moisture. Stick with warm water!

Back on Monday we asked Blow Dry or Flat Iron? What is your preferred method and why?
It’s all about the right tools, right amount of heat and tension. Not to mention products. But which way is better for your hair? Blow dryer or flat iron?
There’s pros and cons to both. Ultimately it’s up to your personal preference to which way is best for you.
Blow Dry
Pro – Creates natural, softer looks, and it’s easier to achieve volume.
Con – Hair might not stay straight, especially when water and humidity is involved.
Flat Iron
Pro – Smooths hair so that it lies flat.
Con – Damaging to your hair because of the high levels of heat needed to penetrate hair.
Again, it’s ultimately up to what your preference is, just be sure to use products that will be sure to protect and nourish your hair!
For more information please refer to this article.

Have you ever heard the expression, “You are what you eat?”? It’s a new year, and that means a new you. Most people have made resolutions to eat better so that they look better. Well, by establishing a diet that is full of fresh fruits and vegetables not only do you feel good, but it shows from the inside out!
“What you put on your plate is even more important than what you put on your skin.
Want truly fabulous skin — glowing, vibrant, and, yes, younger-looking skin? Make sure you’re putting foods for healthy skin on your plate.
“Everything you eat becomes a part of not only your inner being, but the outer fabric of your body as well. The healthier the foods are that you consume, the better your skin will look,” says Samantha Heller, MS, RD, a clinical nutritionist at NYU Medical Center in New York City.
What Are Foods for Healthy Skin?
Most experts say eating a balanced diet is the best way to get your share of good food for healthy skin. Still, a number of specific skin treats are more likely than others to give a boost of glowing good health to your complexion. Here’s what experts told WebMD are the most important:
Low-Fat Dairy Products. One the most important components of skin health is vitamin A. One of the best places to get it is low-fat dairy products. In fact, experts say that the health of our skin cells is dependent on dietary vitamin A.
Nutrition expert Liz Lipski, PhD, CCN, says it’s doubly important to eat A-rich dairy foods if you have either diabetes or a thyroid condition.
“Many people who have these problems can’t convert the beta carotene to vitamin A, which is the form found in many foods that we normally associate with this vitamin, such as carrots,” says Lipski, the founder and Director of InnovativeHealing.com and the author of Digestive Wellness.
The A in dairy products, she says is “true A,” so everyone’s skin can use it.
Lipski says low-fat yogurt is not only high in vitamin A, but also acidophilus, the “live” bacteria that is good for intestinal health. Turns out, it may also have an impact on the skin.
“Anything that helps keep digestion normal, any live bacteria or enzymes, is also going to be reflected in healthy-looking skin,” says Lipski.
Blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, and plums. The common link between these four foods is their high antioxidant content. In a study recently published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, these four fruits weighed in with the highest “total antioxidant capacity” of any food. The benefits of these foods for healthy skin are plentiful.”
