- Hydrate from the inside out with lots of pure water and high anti-oxidant herbal and green teas. During winter, there’s a tendency not to drink as much due to cool temperatures. You may want to bring your water to room temperature to encourage drinking more.
- Eat a healthy diet consisting of whole, organic foods, and foods high in omega-3 fatty acids which produce a hydrating effect from the inside out. Winter might be a good time to increase your intake of fish oils for its omega-3s.
- Take a revitalizing bath – in warm water, not hot! Epsom or sea salt baths are rejuvenating. Use a dry body brush or wash cloth to encourage dry skin to slough off. Very hot water is damaging to your skin, so be sure to use warm water instead.
- Wear gloves when you go outside. Sure, you’re ‘just’ running from your car to your office, but gloves will help protect your hands from winter’s ravages.
- Moisturize daily with non-clogging, organic moisturizers such as coconut oil or body butter. These nourish your skin instead of clogging it, as many toxin-impaired moisturizers do.
