Calming Effects


Winter is so harsh on one's skin. Have you noticed your face is dry and red? Blame lack of humidity and blasting heat. I myself is having this issue, but I did discover some remedies that have powerful little plants in them to help calm our angry skin. Aveeno, the brand that prides itself on its natural ingredients is perfect in this category. I recently tried their Ultra-Calming Daily Moisturizer. It has SPF 15 and is not too greasy. It calms with feverfew. You can find this at drugstores and normal "marts". It is reasonably priced.


It is super important to exfoliate, especially in the winter. The Body Shop has a Coconut Body Scrub that has oil from Samoa. This is an amazing product my skin was so smooth and it was so nourished. It sells for around $10-15.


Skin creams isn't the only way to help mad skin. Food, yes everyday food we eat, has beautifying powers. Wild Salmon is not only great for the heart, but also for the brain and skin. Salmon has potent cell-repairing protiens and omega-3 fatty acids. This replenishes barrier protecting-lipids that keep skin radiant, supple, and wrinkle free.


Beans and Lentils are legumes can help protect your face against damages. Legumes are rich in fiber and are low in sugar which help keep blemishes at bay and prevent dull, dry, wrinkled and sagged skin.


Anthocyanins, the red-blue pigments that make the beautiful color in blueberries and provide powerful antioxidant actions. When you eat blueberries you help reduce oxidative stress on the skin that causes collagen and elastin to break down. Not to mention, anti-inflammatory.
