Keep your Hands Soft all Winter Long!!

Washing, cleaning, cooking-- your hands go through so many things on a daily basis. When was the last time you showed your hands some love? As a society we spend hundreds of dollars on face serums and hair products, that we neglect our hands. Now is the time you turn things around and show your hands some love.

The best hand creams will not only moisturize your fingers on a day to day basis, but also prevent ageing in the future. Whatever your skin type is, harsh winter weather can be tough on skin.

Below are the list of 4 affordable hand creams that are soft on your skin:
Burt's Bees Shea Butter Hand Repair Cream - made with sunflower oil, glycerin and shea  butter. Also, the oils like macadamia nut, and lavender nourishes the skin, nails and cuticles.
Johnson's 24 hour Moisture Hand Cream  - this cream is blended with conditioners,            moisturizers and oils to help fight rouh skin.
Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream - a small amount of this cream will nourish the driest skin. It is formulated with glycerin for long lasting relief.
The Body Shop Spa Wisdom Africa Honey & Beeswax Hand and Foot Butter - rich and buttery texture. Highly moisturizes the skin. It doesn't just lie on the surface, but soaks all layers of skin.

Natural remedies for that nasty odour

 
 
Let's face it: A nasty body odor isn't going to make you the life of ANY party. However, the deodorant use has gone up tremendously , BUT nothing seems to work.
There are many home remedies for body odor that you can use to keep yourself smelling like a rose.
  1. Wipe vinegar or hydrogen peroxide onto your underarms during the day to cut down the number of odor causing bacteria.
  2. Dust baking soda on any odor troubled part of your body. This powder absorbs moisture, and also kills odor causing bacteria. 
  3. Shave regularly under your arms. Underarm hair can increase body odor because it traps sweat and bacteria.
  4. Apply tea-tree oil to troubled areas, as long as it doesn’t irritate your skin. This oil, from an Australian tree, kills bacteria and also has a pleasant scent.
  5. A citrus fruit like lemon changes the pH level of your skin, making it more acidic. All bacteria have a hard time surviving in a highly acidic environment. Just rub on some lemon and pat dry. 

Another way of getting rid of the odor is to eat the right kind of food.
  1.  Eat plenty of spinach, chard and kale. Green, leafy vegetables are rich in chlorophyll, which has a strong deodorizing effect in your body.
  2.  Eating white meat, such as chicken or fish, instead of red meat might produce less body odor.
If your body odor still continues despite the good hygiene and proper diet, your problem might just be CLOGGED PORES.
When your skin can't properly eliminate the body waste, bad body odor is the result.  All you need to do is gently dry brush your skin before your shower.

Now go out and odor-free yourself :)
