Getting Rid of Dry Winter Skin

It's winter, and that usually means dry skin. The skin on your hands, face, and even your whole body may feel tight and dry, and that's definitely not a recipe for either comfort or attractiveness. Fortunately, there are plenty of wonderful ways to ease the effects of harsh weather and restore a fresh, youthful look to your skin! The following six products can help keep you looking and feeling your best, even in the depths of winter.

Suki Exfoliate Foaming Cleanser
The vegan facial scrub from Suki is gentle but deep cleaning, using all natural ingredients to penetrate pores, scrub away dead skin cells, remove toxins and fill in wrinkles. The rice flour serves to gently exfoliate, while natural sugar brings out a rosy glow and lemongrass extract gives a rush of tingly awareness. The foaming action leaves you feeling rejuvenated and ready to face the elements without fear!

100% Pure Body Scrubs
It's not just your face that can get that dull, flaky look. Elbows, knees - even arms and shoulders can start feeling dry and uncomfortable. 100% Pure carries a full line of organic body scrubs, including Eucalyptus Sea Therapy. This minty, invigorating body scrub is made with organic peppermint and eucalyptus essential oils, with organic seaweeds, rosehip, cabernet grapeseed and green tea oil to moisturize, nourish, and protect your skin.

Juice Beauty Exfoliating Cleanser
An all organic cosmetic and skincare line, Juice Beauty uses juices like white grape and pineapple to clean deep, and dissolving jojoba beads to gently exfoliate your skin. Aloe vera heals and protects, leaving your skin supple and younger looking. Shea butter, organic honey, algae and a variety of vitamins and botanical extracts combine to give your face an all natural, all powerful cleanse that will leave you looking years younger.

Amala Hydrating Cream Cleanser
Just as important as cleanliness is hydration, and Amala's Hydrating Cream Cleanser is the perfect next step after using a facial scrub. It gently hydrates dry skin while removing makeup and impurities. The botanical ingredients include jasmine, papaya and white clay in an organic milk emulsifier to help soothe and restore moisture for soft, radiant skin.

Nude Replenishing Hot Oil
Skin can dry out overnight, so why not give it a little extra protection? Nude Replenishing Hot Oil is a natural way to return some essential oils and moisture to your skin. Raspberry, cranberry, avellana and kukui antioxidants diminish signs of aging, and pure, active oils rich in Omegas 3, 6, 7 and 9 absorb instantly to smooth and hydrate. Simply apply after cleansing for an overnight facial or blend with a Nude moisturizer, massaging directly into the skin morning and night.

Jamu Asian Spa Scrubs
Your hands and feet need attention too! Don't neglect them - pamper them with Jamu Island Fruits Organic Hand and Foot Scrub. The blend of volcanic clay, rice bran and citrus fruit extracts is certified organic. It gently exfoliates and smoothes rough dry skin away. Follow up with the all organic coconut, aloe and Shea butter lotion for velvet smooth skin.

Just a few minutes a day can make all the difference in the suppleness and softness of your skin, erasing the signs of aging and making you look as good as you feel!
