Wrap Up and Nourish Your Skin for Winter!

As winter is fast approaching, I have stepped up my skin care routine and started to wrap my body with richer and thicker moisturisers and body crèmes.

The winter elements can cause your skin to feel rough and look dull and can even result in dry patches and scaliness on the skin.

So now's the time to put on your autumn and winter skin care blanket.

One of my favourite body crèmes is this the Thea Skincare Hand and Beauty Body Butter. It's the perfect winter skin care blanket and is packed with the best dry skin vitamins A, B, C and E, and rich dry skin oils such Avocado and Carrot Oils making it one of the richest and most deeply nourishing body butters. It is also packed full of 'super nourishers' such as Organic Cocoa and Organic Shea Butters with ancient healing ingredients such as Kokum from Indian and Calendula from Ancient Egypt. These natural and organic botanical wound healing body butters are ideal for the treatment of eczema and for areas of the body that need to be healed after surgery.

Here's one of our customers view of this product.

Dear Thea,

In 2007, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and had five operations on the affected breast including a mastectomy and reconstructive surgery. At the time my surgeon wanted to make adjustments to my other breast, to make them more symmetrical, but I wouldn't allow her to do it.

This year, I decided the time was right to have that done, and went ahead with the procedure.
On this occasion, I had a really bad allergic reaction to the skin glue, and all sorts of subsequent problems with the waterproof dressings they were using. After five days my breast looked like a piece of raw meat, with huge red wealds and sores all over it. I said to the nurse that I looked like something out of a horror film. It was a real mess.

For the remainder of the period I had to have a dressing on they just taped dry gauze over it, and when that came off I still had the red wealds which had dried and gone flaky.

As soon as they gave me the go ahead I started to moisturise with Thea's Super Nourish Body Butter,and within 4 days, the breast was almost clear again. I have continued using the product all over my body and my skin, for a 53 year old, is soft and glowing with the most wonderful luminosity.

I would thoroughly recommend the product and other products in the range, The skin on my face is looking so good after using Thea products for a year and a half , that many people put me in my early 40's and are astonished when I tell them my real age.
All in all the range is an absolute triumph.

Thea's Top 6 tips for treating Dry Skin

There has always been a lot of talk in the both the medical and beauty industries about what causes dry skin and how to treat dry skin, along with discussions about which are the best dry skin products on the market.

So, what do you do when you suffer from this irritating problem which can range from dry, dull skin on your body or cracked heels, through to very itchy and flaking skin?

Our skin takes a battering during the winter and for most of us it's about keeping dry skin at bay so that we can reveal wonderful-looking, hydrated skin in the warmer months.

So here are my top 6 tips to give your dry skin that extra nourishment that it needs...

20% OFF ALL NATURAL
DRY SKIN PRODUCTS


1. Drink plenty of fluids daily
One of the main causes of dry skin is dehydration, so drink lots of water or herbal teas which are full of antioxidants. Great examples are as Rooibos, green and white tea which all keep your skin hydrated and banish those free radicals which can cause premature ageing. 

2. Use a face moisturiser and rich body cream twice daily
Don't miss your daily skin feed - nourish it with rich natural and organic ingredients. Use natural skin care products with nourishing moisturisers and oils such as coconut, palm, olive and jojoba, or if you have very dry skin use body butter such as Thea favourite Super Nourish Beauty Hand and Body Beauty Butter. 

My trick is to use a light body lotion such as the Thea Lavender and Rose Hydrating BodyLotion in the day and at night I use a richer body butter such as the Age Revival Rooibos Body Butter to really nourish,hydrate and treat dry skin whilst you sleep. 

3. Use a chemical-, Paraben- and sulphate-free shower and body wash 
I know it's for babies but I just love this TheaBaby Naturals Organic Aloe and Rosehip 2 in 1 Calming Bath & Body Wash on my own body as it's gentle and moisturising, and leaves me in a wonderfully relaxed mood. I use it day and night! 

4. Exfoliate the skin on your body your skin at least twice a week
Exfoliation is a must for good dry skin care. The Thea Super Nourish Lavender Soufflé Body Scrub is ideal for this time of the year. Dry skin cells just melt away, leaving fresh, new skin on show which looks healthier and feels softer.

5. Use a face exfoliator twice a week
You should use a good face exfoliator for dry skin such as the Age Revival Dream Crème Face Exfoliator at least twice a week - you'll see almost instant results. 

6. Treat your skin with respect
Remember that your skin is the largest organ of the body so treat it with respect and it will respect you in return. Use natural and organic skincare products which are better for nourishing and treating dry skin, cleanse with a cream cleanser or foaming cleanser twice daily, exfoliate regularly and moisturise at least twice a day, morning and night... just watch as your skin improves and starts to look smoother and more gorgeous every day!
