  • 6 Tips for Natural Skin Care

    March 9, 2016

March 9, 2016

The Twin Cities may have forecasts in the 60s this weekend, but dry winter skin is still an issue for many northerners after a long, dry winter. Denise Olsen of Olsen Naturals and Judith Shell of Body Bliss share their expert winter skin scare tips and luscious natural product recommendations. Both vendors will be selling their natural skin care products at our March 12 indoor market!

1. Turn down the water temperature when you bathe–hot showers and baths feel great in the winter, but they strip necessary oils from our skin. In addition to turning down the temperature, try filtering chlorinated bath water and taking fewer showers to allow your skin to retain its natural oils.

2. Moisturize immediately after bathing. Damp skin will seal the moisture into your skin. Moisturizing morning and night will give your skin an extra boost! Try Olsen Natural’s Healing Body Butter made with organic, raw unrefined oils and butters and nutrients for dry skin.

Over-the-counter products often have petroleum-based ingredients that can further dry your skin. Your face will benefit most from oil-based rather than water based products. Judith recommends her Moisturizing & Soothing Cream Soap made with avocado, coconut, and fresh heavy cream followed by her Hand & Body Crème full of organic fruit extracts

4. Oils work beautifully as facial cleansers. Oil dissolves dirt and make-up without stripping your own oils from your skin. Simply wipe a soft cloth or tissue with few drops of oil over your skin and rinse with water. Denise recommends her Olive Lavender Cleansing Oil for dry skin, Almond Orange Cleansing Oil for combination skin, and Grapeseed Orange Cleansing Oil for oily and acne-prone skin.

5. Don’t forget to exfoliate! Once or twice a week it is good to slough off dead skin cells that inhibit absorption of moisturizers. Try Body Bliss’ Konjac Facial Sponge and Charcoal Detoxifying Gel to cleanse, smooth, and revitalize your winter skin.

Try warm water with fresh lemon for a refreshing and hydrating treat. Eating whole foods and healthy fats are another great way to keep your skin at its best!
