The Effects of Winter.....

How do you combat the effects of winter in your life?

Winter brings on many changes. The most easily noticed are the days getting shorter while the nights are getting longer. You would not think that would or could have such a huge impact on us. But, in actuality this change along with dropping temperatures can run havoc with our bodies.

If you suffer from "winter itch", having red itchy irritated skin, this can make you miserable for the entire winter season. One of the best ways to stop this from happening is by taking a few preventative measures. Nothing to difficult to learn, mostly stuff you already know.

First of all eat healthy. I know that seems to be the answer to everything. However, the reason it is the answer is because it truly helps in many different aspects of our lives. One thing I learned recently is that increasing fruits, vegetables and nuts in your diet will increase your serotonin levels naturally and healthily.

Moisturize, moisturize, and did I mention moisturize. Not just when you get out of the shower but when you are in too. One product that I am currently enjoying is LaLicious Brown Sugar Soufflé Scrub. Not only does it smell incredibly delicious it moisturizes like no other scrub I have used before. Then you can follow up with LaLicious Vanilla Body Butter two scents that complement each other while providing your skin perfect hydration.

Daily exercise is good for the mind, body(skin), and soul. You will also put the fight on winter depression when you exercise daily. If you are able to exercise outside occasionally during the winter, your skin will drink up the Vitamin D provided by the sun. Remember, in moderation. Your skin needs to be in direct sunlight for only 10-15 minutes to reap it's benefits.

Enjoy winter by taking care of and pampering yourself, you will feel better and be healthier for it.
