Dry Hands and Feet? Treat Dry Skin and Stay Soft This Winter!

 Top Moisturising Tips for your Hands and Feet this Winter!

Thea Skincare Super Nourish Super Hydration face Exfoliant, £22.95

 
At this time of the year I notice that my hands and feet become extremely dry.  I am starting to pay more attention to these areas of my body and to use skincare products that are deeply nourishing and hydrating.

My hands take a pounding as they are in and out of water each day so I always have a jar of my favourite creams nearby at all times.

Thea Skincare Ultra Sooting Foot Creme and the Coconut and Jojoba Hand Cream do just the trick. These Organic Moisturisers are great for the hands and feet. I apply them at any time during the day or night.

For Very Dry Skin and cracked heels the Thea Skincare Rooibos Shea Butter is one of the best products. It's actually one of the best creams for dry skin in the entire Thea Skincare range - I use it as a booster to keep my feet hydrated and soft almost every night on top of my regular foot cream. It contains one of the higest levels of natural antioxidants and natural mositurisers and is a great Natural Skincare Product for those extra dry patches.

Thea's top 6 tips for great hands and feet this winter

1. Use and hand and foot cream several times daily
2. Use a foot scrub daily
3. Use a thick foot butter with Natural and Organic ingredients such and the Thea Skincare Rooibos Body Butter
4. Give yourself a home pedicure and manicure at least once a week using a natural foot soak with soothing and detoxing Essential Oils such as Peppermint, Tea Tree and Lavendar and Chamomile
5. Wear cotton socks rather than slippers whilst at home
6. If your feet are extremely dry smoother them in a rich foot butter or cream and wear socks to help that moisture soak in whilst you're asleep!

Deluxe Vitamin Rich Skincare Range - For Dry Skin in Winter

The weather is getting colder and along with it our skin is getting drier. Naturally, our skin has a lipid layer near the surface that keeps moisture locked in but during the autumn and winter, harsh winds combined with indoor heating systems that dry out the air in your home deplete this lipid layer and leave your skin feeling dry and itchy. Short of buying an expensive humidifier to keep the air around you moist, there is plenty that you can do within your daily skincare routine to combat the cold weather and keep your skin summer fresh all year long.

The key is to stick to richer, thicker products that are specifically designed to pump back that lost moisture into your skin, as well as creating a protective barrier against any further water loss. Thea Skincare has developed a range of skincare products specifically designed to treat dry skin naturally - filled with natural, organic ingredients, Super Nourish is a range of luxurious face and body care products formulated to leave your skin soft, supple and silky-smooth.

Enriched with natural, botanical ingredients, Super Nourish captures the amazing, skin-moisturising properties that many plants and flowers hold and brings them together into a range of creams, scrubs and serums that are bursting full of vitamins and nutrients to give you gorgeous, glowing skin.

 Thea Skincare Super Nourish Daytime Face Creme, £24.95

STEPS TO SOFT SKIN THIS WINTER:

Start off with a cleanser that will replenish your skin at the same time as it strips away dirt and impurities - Thea Skincare Super Nourish Moisture Rich Facial Cleanser is the ideal choice for anyone with dry or very dry skin. It contains vitamins A, B and E which all help to protect and treat dry skin whilst also giving you a slight sunscreen factor of SPF 6 (and yes, you do need to wear SPF in winter too!). The matching Moisture Rich Facial Toner is rich in Vitamin C and will restore the pH balance of your skin.

Follow up with what is probably most important skincare products during the winter time - you'll need to use a rich, thick moisturiser to combat the dry air. For your face, try Thea Skincare Super Nourish Nutri-Rich Daytime Face Creme during the day and Super Nourish Softly Softly Day & Night Face Creme just before you go to bed - wild blueberry, cranberry, coconut and green clay make this the perfect overnight treatment for very dry and tired skin, meaning you'll wake up in the morning with skin that's feeling replenished and super smooth.

Finally, don't forget to moisturise your body too. Many women take great care of the skin on their face but neglect the rest of their body and this skin needs just as much TLC as the parts that are constantly on show. Dry indoor air caused by winter heating will affect your entire body so a luxurious, deeply-penetrating body moisturiser such as Thea Skincare Super Nourish Deluxe Beautiful Body Creme is essential for soft, healthy-looking skin all over.

Winter skincare - Thea's top tips

I am starting to see my skin getting dryer now that the weather is changing. Many people fall into a rut of using the same products all year round but it is important to recognise the fact that you'll need to treat your skin differently during the different seasons. Just like applying sunscreen in summer, winter also needs a specific skincare routine to protect it from the elements. I review the skincare products that I am using regularly to make sure I have healthy, protected skin throughout the autumn and winter months.

It is at this time of the year that I really start to pile on the moisturizer and use thicker creams all over my body. I always use a foot cream or foot lotion but over the past few weeks as my skin has become dryer I have started to use the Thea Skincare hand and body beauty butter. This cream is wonderfully rich without being greasy and is great for dry or very dry skin. I've used it all over but especially for dry skin patches such as elbows and knees that need a richer, deeper-penetrating moisturiser than other areas of the body.

Thea Skincare's 100% natural Super Nourish Body Butter for hand & body keeps skin soft, smooth and protected from the harsh winter weather

I love foaming face cleansers, especially the Rebalance Clarity Foaming Face Cleanser, which is one of my favourite products in the Thea Skincare collection. It's gentle and gives a really deep cleanse without drying your skin out like many of the chemical based foaming cleansers that I've used before. I still use a foaming cleanser at the moment but I have started to use a cream cleanser more frequently as my skin gets dryer.
Thea Skincare Age Revival Detox Face Cleanser is another favourite of mine. I call it the antioxidant 'power house', as it's loaded with fantastic age-defying natural antioxidants which make it a great anti-aging cleanser, plus it gives you a deep but gentle cleanse.

In the summer, I use a day moisturizer both during the night and the day but in winter I step up my game and use a thicker night cream such as the Aloe and Vitamin C Replenishing Face Crème to hydrate my skin over night and replenish it with much needed vitamins.

My favourite handy product that I carry everywhere is the Age Revival Uplifting Eye Cream. It soothes and penetrates the skin under and around my eyes with ease. I carry it around with me everywhere I go - day, night, holidays... Just like my lipstick, I would not be the same without it!

Effectively Treat Rosacea with Natural Skincare Products

Treat Rosacea with Thea Skincare

Rosacea, like Acne, can be distressing, persistent and difficult to treat.

The condition is a form of extremely Sensitive Skin so treat it with great care. Many high-street skincare products will contain chemicals or alcohol that have an adverse affect on sensitive skin.

Using Natural and Organic products without chemicals and without ingredients such as alcohol can help to alleviate Rosacea and improve the condition of the skin. Whatever your Skincare Routine the key is to use Natural Products and have a skin care routine that will minimise or alleviate irritations to the skin.

Using Natural Products designed  for sensitive skin and sun-damaged skin will help to address Rosacea, such as the Thea Skincare Natural Harmony range.

Thea's Natural Harmony Perfect Me Facial Cleanser is alcohol free and has mild but effective  natural cleansing ingredients. It is one of the most gentle and mildest cleansers in the Thea Skincare Collection.
If you have Rosacea you should also consider using a hydrating and replenishing moisturizer, one that is designed for sun-damaged and sensitive skin. The Thea Skincare Natural Harmony Perfect Me Moisturiser is ideal, providing ultimate moisturisation and nourishment for the treatment of Rosacea.
Avoid using an astringent that burns or irritates the skin and also avoid using toners and other skin care products with alcohol in them.

Using a gentle toner which is rich in natural moisturizers such as Aloe Vera as in Thea Clarity Calming Facial Toner will help to calm the skin and reduce or stop the irritation.

The Thea Skincare Rebalance range is especially formulated to calm and treat skin problems such as Rosacea, Acne and Oily Skin

Thea's top tips for treating Rosacea are:

1.      Use Natural and Organic, chemical-free Skincare Products that are pH balanced for the skin.
2.      Use fragrance free Skincare Products that are designed for sensitive skin and sun-damaged skin.
3.      Use soap free cleansers and face cleansers with natural mild ingredients.
4.      Do not use an astringent with alcohol - instead use a gentle Facial Toner with Moisturizers
5.      Use a moisturizer designed for Sensitive Skin with rich natural hydrating ingredients.
6.      Try to avoid using lots of different Skincare Products and always test them first (on your arm or neck) before using them on your face.

Treat Dry Skin and Cure Eczema, Naturally

What is Eczema?
Basically, eczema and dermatitis mean much the same thing, an inflammation of the skin. They cause dry, red, itchy skin which may also blister.

Who Suffers from Eczema?
The number of people with eczema is increasing. It affects any age and skin colour and can  be difficult to treat.

How Can I Treat Eczema?
Personally, I suffer from having very dry skin,  particularly in the winter months, so I try to keep my skin as hydrated as possible at all times. I use Super Nourish Deluxe Vitamin Rich Body Crème daily as a body moisturiser. It does exactly what it says on the bottle, leaving your dry skin wonderfully nourished and hydrated - a great treatment for eczema!

Treat dry skin and cure eczema with a rich, organic body moisturiser from Thea Skincare

Most people have what is called Atopic Eczema. In this case, there is no apparent reason why the eczema may 'flare-up' from time to time. However, some flare-ups may be triggered or made worse by irritants to the skin, or other factors such as the type of skin care products being used, detergents, diet and clothing.

If you suffer from eczema it is best to use chemical free skin care products which do not contain ingredients that will aggravate and inflame the skin. The use of natural and organic skincare products will certainly help to heal the skin. One of the best treatments for this is the Thea Skincare Dry Skin Beauty Butter Hand and Body Crème. It contains revolutionary healing ingredients such as such as Organic Shea, Calendula Butter, Avocado and Carrot Oils and the very best vitamins to treat dry skin, Vitamins A, B, C and E. It is a wonderful cure for dry skin, eczema and psoriasis.

If you have eczema, one of the first things you should do is to seek medical advice. Use Natural and Organic Skin Care Products and use chemical free products for bathing or in the shower. One of the most important things you should do is moisturize twice daily with a rich Dry Skin Moisturizer.

Get rid of acne the natural way - rated 5 stars by customers!

Get clean, clear skin the natural way with Thea Skincare

If you have or have ever had acne, oily skin or spots you will know how stressful and demoralising it and the frustration that it causes. I have a good friend who suffered from acne for many years - most of her teenage and adult life - and when I asked her to try the Thea Skincare range aimed at getting rid of acne she quite flatly refused, saying that she had tried everything possible and nothing worked.

I persisted and to even my own amazement, after just 3 months her skin was acne free. Now she has an even skin tone which is beautiful, smooth and clear. Thea Skincare acne treatment products worked for my friend and I am delighted, as well as sure that they can do the same for you.

Thea Skincare Rebalance Clarity Foaming Face Cleanser, only £13.95

So, what is the main cause of acne and how can Natural and Organic Skincare products help to get rid of acne and stop spots?

Our skin has thousands of tiny hair follicles. Each has a sebaceous gland that produces an oily substance called sebum. Excessive sebum coupled with stress, poor diet and using chemically-loaded skincare products can lead to acne and even scarring. Thea Skincare Clarity Foaming Face Cleanser, rated five stars by customers, is scientifically formulated with only Natural and Organic ingredients, containing a blend of essential oils designed to fight and combat acne without irritating the skin. The facial cleanser is effective for all ages and all skin types.

It is vital that anyone with acne uses a non alcohol based cleanser such as Thea Skincare Clarity Foaming Face Cleanser and a Natural and Organic moisturiser such as the Thea Skincare Clarity Crème Face Moisturiser, also rated five stars by those who have used it, which has been specifically formulated for acne prone skin. Using a product containing alcohol, which many of the high-street 'anti acne' skincare products do, dries the skin out which in turn causes the body to produce even more sebum, causing spots and acne.
The 1,2,3 step process "" Cleanse, Tone and Moisturise" is the basis for a good skincare routine. You may think that with oily skin a moisturiser will only make the problem worse but as with skincare products containing alcohol, not moisturising will cause the skin to dry out and produce sebum to compensate, leading to even oilier skin and more spots.

Using anti-acne products such as those in the Thea Skincare range can provide a simple way of getting rid of acne. Cleansing followed by toning with a gentle alcohol-free toner that contains anti-acne ingredients, followed by a suitable face cream, will not only combat your acne but improve the tone and quality of your skin as it has done for my good friend Jo.

Rooibos... The Long Life Tea Combats Acne and Eczema for Pure Natural Beauty

Rooibos tea - a super anti-oxidant for wonderfully clear, detoxed skin. It helps fight against acne, oily skin and eczema.

It was when I first visited Africa a few years ago tha I discovered the wonderful tea Rooibos.
I can see now why the Japanese called it the 'Long Life Tea' as it is a really remarkable ingredient, one of the most powerful anti-aging ones around today. If you've not heard about Rooibos before it is not really a surprise as Rooibos is only grown in a small area in South Africa - the Cederberg region. Most of us know it as 'redbush tea'.

As I continue to learn more about Natural and Organic skincare ingredients I have learnt that Rooibos, like many types of tea leaves, has also been found to contain lots of antioxidants. In addition, unlike green tea, Rooibos is naturally caffeine free and has low levels of skin-drying tannin, which can be found in higher concentrations in both black and green tea.

Rooibos is what I would call a super antioxidant and one of the most beneficial skincare products around. It is centuries old but only now do we recognise it's beneficial properties both as a tea and as a natural skincare product.

One of my favourite Thea Skincare products that contains a high level of Rooibos is the Anti-Aging Uplifting Face Creme. It's gentle, easy to apply and penetrates the skin with great ease. I love products that have a high level of Rooibos as they're kind on the skin but still effectively nourish it. Thea Skincare Uplifting Eye Crème and the wonderfully rich Rooibos Shea Body and Foot Butter are just a few Natural Beauty products which are great for the skin in every way and have fabulous anti-aging properties.

Due to the high amounts of antioxidants in the Rooibos leaves, this ingredient helps to rid the body of stubborn lingering toxins, making it a great detox drink too.

The strong antioxidant properties that the plant holds can also benefit the skin. Rooibos has a high Asphalatin flavonoid content which helps to fight signs of aging and has soothing effects on the skin for acne and eczema. Thea Skincare Clarity Crème Moisturiser which contains a high level of these ingredients is a powerful product for acne, oily and breakout prone skin.

Rooibos is a unique ingredient - whether it is drank as a tea or used in skincare products, it is is mild enough to be suitable for all ages and for both men and women.
