The cold is one of the things that dries the skin out the most, so it’s time to take precautions, and to not allow it to get damaged.  During cold weather, it is advisable to add foods to your diet that contain vitamin E (olives, extra virgin olive oil, sesame oil, walnuts, peanuts, sesame, avocado, etc.), and vitamin A (carrots, mango, papaya, oranges, pumpkins, etc.).  But you also need to take external measures to protect your hair and skin with a few masks and treatments.

Natural Treatments for the SkinWe will suggest a few ingredients to you so you can make your own masks, or if you like, take a look at the masks that we recommend.

    Special breast care during pregnancy

Mask ingredients:

  • 1 Tbsp. grated potato
  • 1 tsp. olive or sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp. plain yogurt

More tips:

Before exposing your skin to cold wind and the strong winter sun, use a hydrating or moisturizing cream.  This could be from honey, cucumber, oatmeal, or aloe.  If you went out at night, wash your face, and wipe it with a cotton ball and rose water.  Then apply a bit of olive oil to your face and hands.  Try to use scarves so your face is not completely exposed.
