Keeping Skin Supple Naturally

We are dealing with dry skin in our house because of the heat always being on and the dry air of winter. Winter is just harsh on our skin, and nobody wants to have dry chapped skin, so here are some natural ways to keep your skin supple and smooth.

Remember, your skin is your largest organ. What you put on it is going to be absorbed into your bloodstream! That is why it is important to put only vitamin rich, safe ingredients like these below on your skin.


Strawberry-Yogurt Mask

• Cut up some organic strawberries (for us northerers, you can use frozen strawberries) and blend them together with a touch of yogurt to create an all-natural, anti-aging, nutritious facial mask.

Olive Oil

• I have been putting organic olive oil on my newborn little girl since she was born. You can apply it directly to parched lips or rough, dry patches of skin to help hydrate and soothe. You can also try coconut oil. I am going to be posting more about coconut oil in a few weeks.
  

Pomegranate Seeds and Oatmeal Scrub

• Pomegranates are full of powerful inflammation-fighting anti-oxidants. But, you can also use the seeds, combined with some oatmeal in a food processor, as an anti-aging exfoliating scrub.

Green Tea

• Green Tea contains tannins, which act as an astringent and can be applied directly to the skin. Use damp, chilled tea bags and it will help reduce eye puffiness.
