Want to Heal Dry Winter Skin?
Springing Your Skin Out of Winter

You may be like many others out there that have just about given up on having skin you love, at least during the winter time. During winter cold, dry air covers most of the US.  On top of that our modern day home heating systems zap virtually all of the humidity out of the air that our skin needs. No wonder dehydration takes a toll on our skin, and we end up with dry, flaky patches.

We asked our in-house Licensed Esthetician, Laura Dunn, to talk about what readers can do to heal dry winter skin. This was her response:

There are two components to effectively heal dry winter skin: Exfoliation and Hydration. You need a method of exfoliation that will be gentle and non-irritating and won’t cause further damage to skin that is already dry, irritated and/or sensitive. You want to avoid waxing, shaving, or any other form of hair removal for at least two days before or after exfoliation. You also need to use skin care products with ingredients that contain naturally occurring humectants in order to attract and bind moisture to the skin after exfoliation. This means a product that is has neither heavy oils such as mineral oil nor is too light and lacking the proper ingredients to hold moisture in the skin.

I recommend our Honey Body Products because we formulated them to address the problem of dry skin. The Honey Body Glow provides the perfect solution by providing gentle exfoliation with the Pink Himalayan Salt. The humectant properties of our raw honey attract and bind moisture to the skin. The Honey Body Soufflé is the perfect companion product to seal in moisture.

Using Honey Body Products to Heal Dry Winter Skin

Here are the three simple steps to follow to heal dry winter skin:

1. Apply small amounts (a pinch at a time) of the Honey Body Glow to dry skin anywhere on the body excluding the face, using light circular motions for 30 seconds. Remember we scrub our floors not our skin! So be gentle.
2. Remove the salt either with a hand towel or with cool to warm water. Rinsing in the shower is fine. It will not make your shower slippery.
3. Pat dry and apply the Honey Body Soufflé. Enjoy your transformed skin!
