3 Tips To Combat Dry Winter Skin
Most areas have been in winter conditions for a few months now, while the Texas Hill Country is very indecisive as to which season we are having from day to day!
No matter where you are, when we heat our homes, no matter the source... electric, gas, wood... it zaps what moisture we do have in the air. When you are in a dry climate to begin with... that makes situations quite drying. You'll start getting static everywhere, your skin will feel tight and you may also experience cracked skin on your fingers... that is SO PAINFUL!
AND If you are a lover of the outdoors or spend much time outdoors during the winter, you probably struggle with dry, cracked hands and lips!
Prevention is always the best, but start where you are and be prepared forever!
ADD MOISTURE BACK INTO THE AIR
Humidifiers, water on the stove top, wood stove and even on the top of gas heaters! You'll be amazed at how quickly the water evaporates into the air!
Keep it up and you will notice the difference in both your skin and your nasal passages!

INCREASE YOUR INTERNAL HYDRATION
I don't know if we ever consume enough water anyways, but bump it up! It's excellent for your skin, organs and overall health!
BE MINDFUL OF WHAT YOU WASH WITH
Most commercial soaps have added chemicals that negatively affect the skin.
Using a handmade, moisturizing bar of goats milk soap is going to be far superior for your skin then a commercial bar.
Goats milk adds so much moisture to the soap. It contains vitamins, minerals, cream and alpha hydroxy oils; all which add moisture and protection to your skin.
