How to Take Care of Dry And Tired Hands And Feet in Winter

We all look forward to winter season. It arrives with lovely sweaters, coffee, dry fruit and curling up by the heater. But with all the goodies, unfortunately winter season comes with dehydrated skin too. Mostly our hands and feet get affected by winter harshness the most and we end up with dry and tired hands and feet. Due to cold, our blood circulation slows down in winter and we starts to feel lazy. Which result in feeling tired quickly. In this case too our hands and feet get affected the most. It’s nothing to be worried about. If we take a bit of care of our dry and tired hands and feet, we can easily make our dry and tired hands and feet feel better.

WALK
Cold winter tends to make us feel lazy and sleepy. But we have to fight off this feeling and take regular walks, for good blood circulation. Good blood circulation will help us in feeling active, which will fight out the tiredness.

SOAK FEET
Soak your feet in hot water with added salt. This will relax your tired feet.

COMFORTABLE SHOES
Yes, we all are fashion addicts, but try to wear comfortable shoes in winter. Since our feet gets stiff in winter, uncomfortable shoes will make our feet feel tired quickly and we can end with aching feet in no time.

WEAR SOCKS
Wear socks all day long. Your feet will feel relaxed in warm socks.

AVOID HOT WATER
Avoid usage of hot water. We wash our hands a million times a day, and mostly with hot water. Hot water makes the skin venerable and washes off the skin’s natural moisture. Always remember to wash hand and feet in normal water.

AVOID SOAP
Soap dries our skin instantly which then results in flaky skin. It’s important to use a mild soap, and avoid using it so frequently, if you can help it.

PAT DRY
Pat your skin dry with towel lightly.

MOISTURIZE
Keep moisturizing your skin with your favorite lotion or simple pure glycerin. Remember to apply moisturize to your hands when you come out of kitchen, toilet and throughout the day. Always remember to moisturize your feet before going to bed.

DRINK WATER
We tend to forget, whether its winter or summer, water is equally important for our body. Nobody feels all that thirsty in winter, but we have to keep a fluent water intake for body’s moisture. Skin needs to be moisturized inside and out to stay healthy.

AVOID HEATERS
Keep yourself warm by covering yourself with warm clothes. Avoid heaters, as it evaporates the moisture so quickly, which results in dry flaky skin. If it’s really cold and the heater is switched on in the room anyway, then avoid sitting close to it. And keep a bowl filled with water in room.

If we make a bit of effort, we can easily take care of dry and tired hands and feet winter.

Pamper Your Hands and Nails with These Simple Beauty Aids

The face may be the window to our soul and thus, deserving of all the special care that we lavish on it but our hands do a lot for us and those around us and our feet do the important task of carrying our weight to all places imaginable and sometimes, unimaginable. Considering that, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that we don’t always give them the kind of care and attention that they deserve. Anyway, it’s still not too late to make amends. There are loads of things that you can do to pamper your hands and feet without going to a salon.

Taking Care of Your Hands and Nails

• As far as your hands are concerned, taking care of your nails are a must. For starters: You can rub petroleum jelly, coconut oil or even castor oil on your nails and then buff with a soft cloth. That should render an amazing shine and look of health to them.  Massaging them every two days will help those with soft nails that break easily.  Another way to harden soft nails would be to soak them in warm olive for 20 minutes every second day.
• There’s stuff you can do even during your regular chores:  Making the dough for roti? Don’t just wash off the Atta, just mix some milk and a drop or two of lemon and leave it on your hands for a few minutes. The kind of cleansing and softening this does to your hands is rather hard to beat by a lot of cosmetics.
• To soften coarse and dry hands:  Mix one tablespoon of lemon juice mixed with a teaspoon of sugar and water.  Rinse hands after a minute or so.  You can also mix 1/3 of a cup of glycerin and 2/3 of a cup of rosewater, mix them well in a bottle by shaking them.  Store in a cool place and massage into your hands regularly.
• For hand exfoliation:  Mix two tablespoons of oil (baby, safflower, vegetable, olive) with three tablespoons of sugar, preferably coarse.  Make a paste out of it and gently rub it into your hands. Rinse with warm water.
•   For cuticle care:  You can use a teaspoon of warmed olive oil or two drops of eucalyptus essential oil and a teaspoon of Jojoba oil and push back your cuticles and massage the oil into it.

Facial Steps with Hand Movements

In this article we will discuss about clean face and skin care. Cleansing, rinsing, steaming and toning are also part of the facial.

Wash your face:
Use a liquid Face wash or gel or cleansing milk or make-up remover.

Cleansing:
If you use cleansing milk or make-up remover than follow the following steps:

• Pump enough cleansing milk onto your palm, make sure your hand is not wet and you have not wet your face with water. Remember oil and water does not mix together.
• Apply onto your dirty face, simply move your index finger or hand on top of the skin with a gentle circular upward messaging “flying” motion (if you do it right, you can feel that your skin is not moving. You actually barely touch the skin surface to take off excess oil and dead skin cell) on the face and neck. Do not scrub too much or push your hand too hard, gentle massaging strokes are enough to help improve circulation as well as loosen grime and old surface skin cells – as the skin will be irritated more and causing more acne.
• Use a circular spiral movement upward from the middle of your chin to the lower part of the ear. Circular spiral movement upward from the tip of your lips to the middle part of the ear. Circular spiral movement upward from the tip of your nose to temple. Circular spiral movement from middle of your forehead to temple.
• An inward circular movement around your eyes.
• An Up and down movement on your nose.
• Take away the cleansing milk using facial tissue downwardly without making any pressure on skin surface.
• Repeat the steps again until your facial tissue show no trace of make-up or dirt left on your skin.
• Wash your face with running water.
• Pat it dry and let it dry naturally (avoid using towel, or if you need to use a fresh clean towel. Do not scrub dry or drag towel along skin).
• Follow with a skin toner to get back your skin acidity and completely take off any excess dirt or cleanser.
• Apply toner after you clean your face using a Cleansing Milk or Face Wash Liquid.
• Use a Facial scrub at least twice a week (not recommended for a red & swollen skin or skin with pustules or papules. Wait until all the severe acne gone and you can start using the facial scrub.
• 5-10 pump toner onto your palm or directly spray to your face (use the water-based non-alcohol and non-perfumed toner).
• Apply it to your face and neck.

10 to 15 minutes facial massage: Type 1

• Take about two teaspoon of the oil into the palm and begin with the base of the throat gently massaging in upwards motion. Massage gently with alternate hands. Slowly progress towards your jaw line to the base of your ears.
• Massage in circular motion into the cheeks and ears gently.
• Then, beginning from the inner part of the eyes, gently tap the eyes with the fingers and move slowly towards the outer edge.
• With the fingers, carefully massage gentle strokes outwards the forehead starting from the center. Continue by using both the hands and thus end up circular strokes over the forehead and temples.
• The same steps are to be repeated 5 times each day. By this time, the entire oil might have been absorbed into the skin. Thus the need of wiping off the oil is not necessary.

Massage: Type 2
Massaging needs excess of oil for the fingers to glide onto the skin. The environment also plays an important role as always select a calm and quite atmosphere. The pressure could be made even by using the middle as well as the ring fingers. Never be harsh on the skin as each and every stroke has to be slow, gentle and soft. The massaging rhythm has to be in a tune and depending on the breathing movements. With the progressing of massage, the pace also should be slowed down.

Steps involved in the facial massage:

• The first step starts with the center of the forehead, complete six circular movements across the brow. Repeat the same procedure three times. The ending up of the massage should in such a way that a gentle and soft pressure is applied at the temples with three counts. The pressure points could be easily located at the small depression present between the bones which are in the temples. This massage helps a lot to prevent the formation of any kind of horizontal lines.
• The next aim is towards the nose; start with the inner hollow of the eye by sliding the fingers along the sides of the nose. The left hand should be used to massage the right side of the nose and right hand for the left side of the nose. This has to be repeated three times as this prevents in the appearance of horizontal lines seen on the nose.
• Massaging around the nostrils helps in unclogging the pores thus prevents the occurrences of blackheads, white heads & scars. While working upwards, always exert extra pressure & repeat same about six times.
• A gentle massage around the corners of the lips will help in improving the lines also the sagging present at the corners. This should be done by outward and upward movement and has to be repeated three times.
• Outward massage from the chin to the earlobes helps to prevent sagging of the cheeks. The entire massage should be completed in six circular strokes thus keeping a focus over the jaw line. This massage has to be repeated three times and the step has to be ended by pressing at the pressure points present at the temples.
• Massaging around the eyes helps in preventing the sagging around the eyes and also the formation of wrinkles. It reduces the puffiness and dark circles which are present around the eyes. The first step is to press the pressure points which lie below the brow bone just below the inner eyebrows and count for three. Then massage once around the eyes and from the same starting point count for six. This has to be repeated three times. End up by massaging very gently over the eyelids and finally press at the temples.
• To prevent the sagging and the development of horizontal lines in neck, massaging from the collar bone to the base of the chin proved to be very helpful. The stiffness and the tension that is created at the nape are lessened. The neck massage has to be carried out with the palms of the hand. As the massage progresses, both the hands has to be used alternatively. The entire massage should be completed with six strokes outwards and six inwards. While slipping to the center of the neck, the pressure has to be increased slightly while moving outward.
• Muscles in the chin could be toned to prevent sagging. Movement similar to that of the scissors should be done by grasping the chin with the index as well as with the middle finger along the jaw. The next step is to slowly move the fingers along the jaw length. Place the index finger under the jaw and with the help of side of the index finger and thumb, give a gentle massage to the back of right ear. Alternate hands as the massage progress and repeat the same six times.
• Ear is one of the important parts which promote and maintain the overall balance of the body as the pressure points are stimulated thus sending the reflexes are send to different parts of the body. For this spiral upward motion is followed with the thumb and index finger by counting from five. On counting the next number, the thumb has to be slid along the jaw downwards by keeping the finger as close to the ear as possible. Then the same movement has to be done backwards to the earlobe thus stimulating different pressure points present in the area. The same procedure has to be repeated three times.

Neck Beauty Care

Neck is one of the most neglected parts of the body in terms of wrinkles and wrinkle-prevention. The irony is that it is also one of the areas of the body most vulnerable to fine lines. This is because the skin is much thinner on the neck than it is on the face, making it more susceptible to ultraviolet damage forms natural sunlight and any other forms of UV light.

Early appearance of wrinkles are also due to stress, smoking habit and unbalanced diet like not taking vitamin E-rich foods, which is good for skin; because of harmful affects of ultraviolet sum rays; various ecological factors; wrong dieting practice to reduce body weight.

Neck wrinkle care and treatment is very important for a nicer, younger appearance because the effects of aging on this dermal layer are significant. Clean your skin properly everyday and remove the dead skin by suing a gentle exfoliating scrub. Use a natural scrubber daily to keep the lymphatic glands active and also to remove dead skin. You need to massage the neck area daily with light finger pressure.

Though there are natural alternatives to expensive wrinkle treatments like Botox, chemical peels and Resty-lane injections, the best and easiest are home remedies.

Natural wrinkle remedies can vary from face massages, to natural face masks you can make in your own kitchen using scientifically proven technical methods. For instance:

• Olive oil and pineapple mask is not only great for removing wrinkles and fine line but it also hydrates and plumps up the skin. In addition, it naturally exfoliates dead skin cells and cleans out your pores. Pineapple contains bromeliad which is a natural digestive enzyme and will help eat away all the dead skin cells and dirt. Pineapple is also an anti-inflammatory so this mask is especially great for adult wrinkle.

• To make pineapple mask take a cup of pineapple chunks (make sure to rinse off the syrup first). Then apply 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil. You can mash the pineapple chunks with a fork or even better put into a blender and blend until smooth. Then apply the mask to your neck and rest for 20 minutes or so. Rinse and pat dry.

• Take 3 tablespoon fuller’s earth, 1 tablespoon sandalwood powder and 1 teaspoon rose water. This anti-wrinkle mixture too is proficient in reducing the wrinkles on neck.

• You can also use the freshly prepared juices of cucumber or apple everyday on neck as it is natural and effective treatment for curing wrinkles and slowing down skin ageing.

• Another homemade mask can be made of apricots: take 2 apricots, after de-seeding them, finely chop and puree along with their skin. Add 2 tablespoons of honey and the juice of one lime along with a little cold milk. Blend all these to form a smooth paste. Apply on the neck. Leave it on for at least 30 minutes. Now take some lukewarm water in a basin and add to it the juice of one lemon. Wash with this water. The apricot nourishes while the lime juice tightens the skin.

• Take a cup of rice powder; add enough milk and rosewater to make a thick paste. Apply on neck. Leave for 20-30 minutes, when it cracks up rinse and wash off. The skin will appear very taut and the wrinkles seem to have straightened out or wrinkles and lines disappeared altogether.

• You can also use glycerin and egg as an anti-wrinkle lotion, especially well for wrinkles on the neck. Take the white of an egg in a bowl and add to it 2 tablespoons of glycerin and 2 tablespoons of rose water. Stir well and then apply this lotion on the wrinkled skin as well as on the neck. Leave it on for 10-12 minutes and rinse off with cold water.

• To reduce fine lines and wrinkles you can give sandalwood a try: Add a few drops of water to half a tablespoon of sandalwood powder. Apply the paste on the neck. Let dry. Wash with tepid water. This reduces wrinkles and fine lines.

• You can make sugarcane mask by adding (1-2 tablespoon) juice of sugar cane and (2-3 teaspoon) turmeric powder, (which is the most effective herb, used in every kitchen) and keep it aside for five minutes. Gently apply on aging lines (wrinkles) on your neck and let it dry for 10-15 minutes, then wash using clean water.

• Apply banana mask to get rid of wrinkles on the neck. Banana mask is more effective than any neck wrinkle cream. To make it, take one fully ripe banana, 2 teaspoon of flaxseed oil and 4-5 drops of rose water. Mash the banana nicely in a bowl.

• Lemon juice also works for reducing fine lines under eyes, neck and hands. This is also very effective in minimizing the wrinkles and cleaning the skin surface.

• For the area under the chin and the neck, lightly pinch and rub the skin between your thumb and forefingers. When you’re finished, your face should have good color and feel invigorated.

• Massage your neck using oils of flax seeds as it is very effective in getting rid of wrinkle. Rubbing wrinkles on neck with coconut oil before sleep increases blood circulation and promotes relaxation to the skin.

10 Simple Remedies For Treating Dry Skin Acne

When we think of acne, we automatically think of oily skin but there are many people who have dry skin and still suffer from break outs. People who have dry skin and acne are not rare; you would be surprised at just how many of them are out there. It is quite challenging to treat dry skin acne. As you may have noticed, a majority of the products for treating acne are meant for people with oily skin and using them will only make your skin even more dry and irritated. So here is a solution.

Best Tips for Dry Skin Acne Treatment:

Here are the best remedies that you can use to treat acne while still taking care of your dry skin:

1. Use lotions and creams to treat acne

Although most acne treatments are drying, there are those that are less drying than others such as ointments, lotions and creams. You will most probably prefer the way your skin feels after using them. Always make sure that no matter what type of treatment you use, you do NOT use more than what the directions for use say. Contrary to what you think, it will not have a better effect on your skin or get rid of your acne problem sooner.

2. Moisturize regularly:

Yes, you need to moisturize your skin daily to keep it from drying. How do you prevent an acne breakout and still moisturize? Simple! All you need to do is be careful of the type of moisturizer you use. You can use those that are for sensitive skin as they are light and still effective. You may be tempted to use moisturizers that are meant for acne-prone skin but that would be a huge mistake as they are extremely drying.

3. Choose your cleanser well:

Cleansers are another product that needs careful consideration. Like moisturizers and other products for acne treatment, they can be extremely drying. Non-foaming cleansers are a great option as they are less drying than cleansers that foam. Remember that if you are using a topical medicated ointment, cream or lotion for acne, use a non-medicated cleanser. If you are planning on using a medicated one, you better consult your skin specialist first!

4. Do not overwash:

Over washing your skin strips it off the natural oils and moisture that it has. If you are using a cleanser, wash your face just once a day with it. In the evenings, after you have removed your make-up, a few splashes of water should be enough to get the dirt off your skin. This way, you keep your skin clean and do not make it any drier than it already is.

5. Always protect your skin from the elements:

Are you planning to take a walk on a windy, cold day? Do not forget to protect your skin against the wind. Hats and scarfs are a must on those cold days as your skin can get depleted of the moisture it already has. And do not think it is safe to walk without protection on a sunny day. You will still need nonacnegenic or noncomedogenic sunscreen to protect your skin.

6. Tomato Pulp:

Studies have established that the acidity in tomatoes helps the skin dry up acne. This vegetable also is rich in Vitamin A, C and K that is known to be found in most over the counter acne lotions and creams. Slice open a tomato, and liberally scrub it on your face. Alternatively, you can also mash up the tomato and apply it as a face pack and repeat for a few weeks till you see the difference.

7. Potato:

Vitamin C in potatoes help in boosting the production of collagen and also prevents as well as heals damage caused from the harmful rays of the sun. Vitamin B in potatoes help in skill regeneration and the niacin in this root vegetable helps in lightening the skin.

8. Lemon Juice:

Who does not know the effects of this wonder fruit on the skin? Lemon is highly acidic and dries up acne on the spot. Squeeze lemon juice on to cotton balls and apply on problem areas, this will help clear your skin.

9. Garlic:

Garlic has been long associated with skin treatment. Easy to procure and store, there is no better alternative to garlic. Garlic contains sulphur, zinc calcium, and allicin all known to possess anti fungal and antibiotic properties. Crush garlic, and cloves with some water and apply the paste on your face. Wash after a few hours.

10. Cucumber:

This vegetable acts as a coolant to the skin and alleviates skin irritation and other symptoms. Grind and apply as a paste to moisturize your skin and remove excessive oil. Stay cool as a cucumber!
