An Essential Guide to Winter Herbal Skin & Hair Care
The sudden drop in temperature, the falling leaves, the cold shivers and chills, Winter has set in my folks. With predictions of really cold winter waves this season, it could be the coldest so far.
All tucked in warm winter wear, gloves, winter caps, socks, quilts, and blankets will give relief against the cold. Hot sips of soup, hot chocolate or coffee will satisfy your hunger bouts but what about the care your skin needs for such harsh cold weather.
The chilly climate almost dries up your skin and hair as we lose all the natural oils and moisture it needs to stay healthy and supple, making our skin and hair dry, lifeless and giving way to flaky scalps. The winter causes more harm to our skin and hair. We start facing problems like redness, itchy skin, rashes, flaky skin, dandruff in hair, dry dull hair during the harsh chilly winter season. Do you have any solutions to wade these winter blues?
Harmful effects of some ingredients on our skin:
Having a flawless complexion and silky smooth dandruff free hair depends on the skin type and how you take care of it Most of the cosmetic moisturizers, creams, shampoo, conditioners, oils have contents which may give temporary relief to you, but they are not good for the skin and hair. In the long run, they may cause more harm than do any good for your skin and hair. Some hidden ingredients in these ultra-hydrating skin and hair care products may secretly be contributing to the dry and flaking skin you try so very hard to get rid of. Simple ingredients such as fragrances, synthetic dyes, and parabens, for example, can cause irritation and burning, which is a major no-no when you’re already exposed to the harsh, cold air then why use them on your skin or hair to make things even worse.
Natural ingredients and herbs- A better solution
Working our way for healthy, beautiful skin and hair is doable and possible if we choose our personal care products like creams, lotions, moisturizer, shampoo, etc that have natural ingredients. Do you know half of these wonderful ingredients rest on your kitchen shelves? Yes, that’s true. Ingredients like turmeric, ginger, aloe vera, eucalyptus, etc are easily available in our kitchen. All these ingredients are powerful and have numerous benefits. So, go get them and create your skin and hair care routine using these amazing natural ingredients.

Almond oil has rich vital nutrients, especially vitamin E which works with other antioxidants like vitamin C to give it an amazing moisturizing property. When combined with honey and applied as a natural lip balm gives you that soft, baby lips. Also, the rich nutrients of almond oil are highly beneficial for hair growth. Almond oil helps keep the hair well-nourished, healthy and strong. You can easily store almond oil in the refrigerator for further use.
Honey :
A simple remedy for black spots and parched skin around your elbows during the winter season is honey. You need to take a few drops of honey on your hands and apply it over your elbows with a soft touch of your hands. Honey will not only remedy dry skin but will also prevent dryness during winters. Let it dry and then you can wash it with lukewarm water. It reduces inflammation on your skin and boosts the circulation of blood. For haircare apply honey on your hair or a mixture of honey and curd, leave it for 30 mins and rinse it, this will provide nourishment to your hair, making it healthy, shiny and silky.
Milk and cream:
The solution for scaly skin is applying milk dubbed in cotton/cloth all over the body where the skin is scaly. Apply milk cream or malai on the affected places and face. Keep this for ten minutes and remove it with lukewarm water. This is a wonderful natural moisturizer that will keep your skin nourished and supple. Milk also does wonders to your hair. Just add whole milk into a spray bottle and spray over all your hair and wait for 20 to 30 minutes. After that rinse it with a good chemical-free herbal shampoo and love your silky smooth hair.
Some herbal fixes for your routine:
Body lotions with natural butter
Always opt for lotions and creams with natural extracts like jojoba, apricot, almond, sesame having natural butter like shea, coconut, almond butter. Skincare products with chemicals have an adverse effect on your skin in the long run, so you should always choose a product that is made from only natural ingredients.
Massage with Natural oil
An oil massage is best suited for winters. Indulge in pampering your body head, to toe (including hair, scalp, feet) with oil from extracts of olive, sesame, coconut, almond, etc. The application of these oils can leave your skin plump and lock in moisture during winters. A gentle massage with these oils is just what is needed for deep absorption in the skin and scalp.
Avoid hot water, Soap, instead bathe with natural essence
When bathing or washing your face, use water that is not too hot, lukewarm to be precise. Misuse of soap, will strip away the much-needed oil from your skin and scalp. Try to limit soap use only to areas of your body that actually are needed.
Having a floral or herbal bath can be luxurious but using oil essences of rose and lavender will be a nice way to rejuvenate and replenish the most moisture. These natural shower oils will tackle the dryness and can nourish the body just what the skin needs after a bath.
