<p class="summary">Winter can be very harsh on our skin leaving us with the frustrating problem of dry blemished or irritated skin. Let me explain why and give you some brilliant practical advice on treating the bitter issue of less than perfect skin.</p>
<h2>Is Your
Skin in Disarray?</h2><p>
</p><p>
</p>
<p>Minor skin irritation
or conditions can become huge issues during the winter months thanks to the
harsh weather. The greatest irritant that we are exposed to is the climate in
the form of severe cold weather and the use of artificial heat. Occasionally
a blemish takes up resistance on our chin and the red patch on our cheekbone
is now a full time tenant. So the question is what can we do to get rid of
the unwanted squatters?</p>
<h2>Argan
Oil</h2><p>Is a
brilliant skin and hair nourishment tool.
It contains large amounts of antioxidant Vitamin E which help to heal
dry skin especially eczema and psoriasis while easing the inflammation
associated with these conditions.
You can apply argan oil directly to your body and facial skin as well as
your hair. The fatty acid and
carotenoids (powerful antioxidants) in Argan
oil balance your skins natural moisture levels.</p><h2>Sea Salt</h2><p>Eczema
and psoriasis can also be tackled with sea salt as a means of exfoliation. Using sea salts to remove dead skin
cells helps to encourage a new layer of skin to come through giving a fresher
appearance to your skin. Mineral
rich sea salts can calm the skin and inflammation however I would not recommend
them for the face. Add 2 large
tablespoons of sea salts to the bath and soak away your old scaly cells.</p><h2>Aloe Vera</h2><p>There are
lots on ingredients that can help with all our skincare SOS’s, one of my
favorites is Aloe Vera. The gel
like liquid which you can extract from the voluptuous leaves of the Aloe Vera
plant give much needed hydration to sensitive and dehydrated skin cells helping
to repair damage, may it be from the sun or because of a trauma to the
skin. It is also brilliant for treating
scared tissue.</p><h2>Shea
Butter</h2><p>Rich
buttery Shea will also condition and enrich your skins texture. It has the wonderful ability to leave
your skin feeling luxurious and softer than you can ever imagine. It also helps boost your skin
elasticity therefore encouraging a youthful appearance.</p><h2>Helichrysum
Oil
</h2><p>Is a rejuvenating and a powerfully anti aging tool while also
supporting the skin cells. Due to
its gentle nature it is brilliant on children's skin to help heal wounds burns
or to calm sensitive skin.</p><h2>Carrot
Oil</h2><p>
Anti aging
carrot oil may be found in an essential oil or a vegetable oil either will work
wonders on wrinkles fine lines and age spots. Adding 3-6 drops of organic
carrot seed essential oil to your daily moisturiser is all it takes to help
your ‘grow old gracefully’ campaign. The vitamin A & B-carotene rich
plant repairs skin cell damage and brings new skin cells to life
naturally. <br></p><p>Hopefully
