Glowing Skin From Head to Toe

Those winter blahs are kicking in and we are noticing the white skin that comes with the weather changing and we no longer see the sun as much as we do in the summer time. But don't worry I have the perfect solution to get glowing skin and to get you feeling better about accepting the white legs in the winter.

I'm not suggesting tanning beds because those are not the solution. I am suggesting purchasing an all over body scrub. The Body Shop has an amazing scrub and it smells delicious (enough that you can eat it, but i wouldn't suggest that either) It is called Spiced Vanilla Body Scrub and it works wonders.

The other thing you need to keep up with is moisturizing after you get out of the shower. It's that extra step that we always forget to do after and usually that is when our dry, scaly skin develops. It is very important to keep moisture locked into your skin because there is nothing like being in class or in a meeting and you are scratching your legs.

Another great way is to purchase a tinted moisturizer if you want a subtle colour on your skin throughout year. It is a safer way of getting that glow. But the best way is to exfoliate and follow with a moisturizer. With those simple steps you will be that much closer to beautiful, glowing skin in no time.

Rescue 101 For Dry Cracked Hands

When the colder weather hits and you are not prepared for it, your hands will be wishing you were more prepared.

In the wintertime or even colder weather changes, your hands are the first ones to be touched by the chilly air. Some of us don't wear the proper protection (gloves, mittens, etc.) and that's when we pay the damaging price.

Every ounce of moisture gets sucked out of your hands, which leads them to feel tight and then you notice they start to crack. At this point, you need to stop anymore damage from happening. When you let your hands go unprotected you can develop circulation problems later in life and also develop arthritic symptoms as well later on.

To help heal your hands I have narrowed down my list of hand cremes depending on skin type:
1.) Arbonne Ultra-Hydrating Hand Creme (all skin types)
2.) The Body Shop- Almond Oil Hand and Nail Creme (for all skin types)
3.) The Body Shop- Hemp Hand Creme (for very dry skin)


This is my recommendation. Everyone has their own favourites.

Bundle those hands up and take care of them! Unfortunately, they age faster if they are left uncared for. Enjoy!
