The arrival of winter means a few different things – a change in weather, a change in wardrobe and of course, a change in our skincare routine. More often than not, you’ll find yourself with dry, flaky (and sometimes itchy) skin. But with a few simple changes to your regular skincare routine and a few new natural skincare products, you’ll be able to combat dry winter skin with ease. Read on to discover how to fight winter dryness with these 10 top tips for both face and body!
1. Exfoliate more with sugar scrub
The problem: When skin becomes extra dry, it can trigger a flare up of keratosis pilaris, a condition that mainly affects the upper arms and causes small bumps and rough skin. Rough, dry skin can also happen on your legs and other parts of your body, especially with the cold weather in winter.
The solution: With any dry skin in the winter, especially keratosis pilaris, it’s a good idea to regularly exfoliate with a scrub containing fresh sugar cane crystals to eliminate dead skin cells around your hair follicles and help reduce the appearance of bumps.
Pure Fiji’s Coconut Oil Sugar Scrub contains fresh sugar cane crystals designed to manually exfoliate while naturally occurring alpha hydroxyls work to gently buff away aging skin cells, polishing your skin clean and helping to unclog your pores. The deep moisturizing blend of oils nourish, moisturize and protect your beautiful skin, leaving it glowingly healthy.
How to Use Sugar Scrub:
- At some point during your shower, turn off the water or step back from the stream and apply 1 scoop of the sugar scrub evenly over your entire body, massaging from head to toe until it turns to a consistency like honey
- Leave it on for 10 minutes to reap maximum benefits, then rinse thoroughly.
- Apply a body butter after exfoliating to add even more softness to your skin!
- Use 2-3 times a week for a healthy, glow.
- Always make sure you are applying sugar scrub to wet skin.
2. Keep your products within reach
The problem: You’re heading out the door and you realize you forgot to apply your moisturizer – again!
The solution: You can’t forget something you can always see so make sure you place your body lotion or butter someplace you’ll always look – on the side of the tub, on the bathroom counter, on your bedside table etc. Don’t tuck it away in a drawer in your bathroom – chances are you’ll forget it’s there!
Another great solution is to keep a travel size lotion in your purse for those days when you just keep forgetting. Try Pure Fiji’s Hydrating Body Lotion in travel size. You can easily keep it in your purse, school bag or gym bag so it’s always handy when you need a quick dose of moisture.
