Dry Skin Tips // Raw Skincare

If winter wasn't already getting your down with its grey cold, brrrrrr-ness, you aren't going to be loving it any more when it starts to dry out your skin. *Wishes Upon A Star It Was Summer Already*

It looks like my wish did not come true and we are still freezing our butts off. So here is a few really quick tips on how to handle your dry skin this winter. 

• Moisturise more- as soon as you go outside in the cold your skin can start to dry, when you put the heating on, your skin will dry out basically anything you do is going to cause a bit of drying which sucks. So make sure you moisturise more than before. We strongly recommend our body butters- although we should have called them "hug in a jar". 
• Don't over exfoliate- It can be tempting to try and exfoliate all that dead skin away but if you do it too much you will just damage the new skin cells underneath which will leave your skin feeling sore and irritated. Exfoliate 1-2 a week and make sure you follow step 1- KEEP MOISTURISING.
• No HOT showers/baths- too hot a bath shower can leave your skin vulnerable and can cause your skin to loose moisture. It is tempting, but stick to warm showers instead.
• Drink plenty of water!!- If you have read this blog for a while you will know that this is one of my golden rules. Keep your body hydrated and this will also help to keep your skin hydrated too

Hopefully those little hints and tips will help keep your skin in good shape this winter- ready for the beautiful sunshine that is very much needed this summer.
