6 Tips for Beauty and Relaxation this Winter
Baby, it’s cold outside! That winter weather is a total drag, especially this year when it looks like something straight out of Frozen. Ah, but don’t despair. You can let it go with these great tips to help you keep up your beauty and relaxation even during the winter blues!
- Up your moisturizing game
Winter winds are extra drying on skin. Your favorite summer lotions won’t cut it during this time of year. It’s important to switch it up and use quality cream, oils, and lotions that all are thicker and richer. They’ll keep your skin hydrated longer and nourish it too so it keeps from drying, cracking or flaking.
- Get your nails done
Treat yourself! You deserve it! Bright cheery colors on your fingers and toes will totally cheer you up when you take off your boots at the end of the day. Everything else outside might be drab but your bright and shiny manicure will add that burst of color you need.
- Go deep with conditioning
Hair need extra love in the winter too, especially if it’s color-treated. Using a deep conditioning hair mask will help keep your locks looking lustrous and bouncy. Try to do one once a week for the best results.
- Indulge in a massage or spa day
With holidays, family, weather, and all the other ravages of winter, it’s so important to take time to pamper yourself. It’s not extravagant. It’s healing and you’ll feel better able to be the wonderful person you are if you simply take a moment to fulfill your needs. Try a massage, a facial, or any other spa treatment and you’ll soon be feeling amazing again.
- Try relaxation exercises
One thing you might find to really help you feel beautiful inside is to engage in relaxation exercises that help unite your body, mind, and soul. Try out some yoga, Pilates, or tai chi. Even just 10 minutes a day of this can help you feel clearer and more relaxed. What have you got to lose?
- More sleep
Maybe the bears do have the right idea when it comes to hibernation. Getting more sleep helps your body heal. If you’ve been burning the candle at both ends or just not getting that deep sleep you need, start going to bed 10 minutes earlier for a week and see how that does you. The next week, go to bed 10 minutes earlier than the week before. You should be feeling tons better and have more energy to get through the rest of the frigid winter days that lie ahead!
Take care of both your inner and outer beauty and you’ll achieve the kind of glow you thought was only possible in the summer!
