Don’t you just love the Holidays?  Family, Friends and rich food.  During the Holidays most of us tend to overeat and drink which can lead to changes in our skin.  If you have dark circles under your eyes; overeating rich foods and drinking can aggravate them more.  Drinking more water will help flush the toxins out of your body and ultimately will make the look of your skin improve. 

Skin care is one of the most important things to remember at this time of the year, along with your health; but they both seem to be forgotten as the season moves on.  (If you really love the sweets and treats the holiday brings, look into healthy chocolate .  This chocolate is filled with Antioxidants that are important for your overall body, mind and great for the soul)!

November is here and so is the time that our temperature typically begins changing as well.  Colder weather and stronger winds can leave your skin feeling dry and scaly during these winter months. Keeping your skin protected from this type of damage is important to the vitality of your skin for years to come.

The skin care products you use during this time could mean the survival of the flesh over the next few months. According to Dr. Oz, soaps can take off the protective layer of oil from your skin, which can leave your skin chapped and itchy. Dr. Oz suggests using an oil on your skin first, then a deep scrub to cleanse the skin, after deep cleansing your pores, it is wise to add another layer of a face moisturizing lotion  to restore the essential protective layer of your skin.

When you follow these steps it will help to protect your skin from wind damage and the cold. There are several facial scrubs  that can help keep your skin glowing.  Facial scrubs are good to use once or twice a week depending on your type of skin to deeply cleanse your face.  Just remember to always follow up with an extra hydration .
