Things You'll Need:
- Avocado
- Moisturizing bath oil
- Cornmeal
- Flaxseed oil
- Smoothie
-
Step 1
Stay hydrated. Drink 6 to 8 glasses of water every day to keep moisture inside your body.
-
Step 2
Immediately after showering, apply body lotion all over. This will help lock in the moisture from your shower.
-
Step 3
Apply a combination sunscreen and moisturizer to your face. This will protect your skin from sun damage and drying. When choosing a moisturizer, make sure it is not greasy or oily, but is absorbed readily into your skin.
-
Step 4
If you live in a dry climate, invest in a small humidifier for your home and office.
-
Step 5
Apply hand cream three or four times a day. Buy a small bottle that you can carry with you.
-
Step 6
If venturing out in the cold, wear a hat and gloves to retain body heat and moisture.
-
Step 7
When washing your hands and face, use only gentle cleansers and avoid washing your face more than three times per day.
-
Step 1
Dead skin tends to accumulate on your face, hands, knees and elbows, especially in the winter. Make a paste of cornmeal with water, and rub it on these zones vigorously to slough off these dead cells.
-
Step 2
Mash an avocado and rub it on your face for a moisturizing treat. Soak in bathwater fortified with oil for 15 to 20 minutes while the avocado is on your face.
-
Step 3
Wash the avocado off, and apply moisturizers.
-
Step 4
Add some flaxseed oil to a smoothie to add precious oils to your skin, and as an after-bath treat.
