Hello everyone,
Winter has arrived a long time ago but the worst are still to come. It now become colder and colder and it was estimated that soon it will snow.
With the winter going from bad to worst we need to take some steps to protect not only our outer self but also our inner health.
I came up with 6 categories with some ideas that how to keep healthy during the horrible winter.
First category: Use hand creams- Our hands during the winter get very dry and start breaking and this hurts a lot. To prevent dryness you can use different hand creams of your choice. Hand creams will keep your hands moisturised and soft and they will smell nice as well! ;) Personally, I use my hand creams whenever I step outside in the cold and before I go to sleep so my hands will keep moisturised during the night.
My top hand cream picks are:
1) Nivea- cream: http://shop.nivea.co.uk/nivea-creme.html
2)Dove- Rich nourishing cream (I think they changed the look of the packages): http://www.dove.co.uk/en/Products/Hand-Body-Lotions/Hand-Cream/Essential-Nourishment-Hand-Cream.aspx
Second category- Use lip balms- Like hands lips get very dry during the winter. And dry lips are horrible as they break out as well. I hated it when last week I tried to bite my sandwich and opened my mouth and my lips just ripped open a bit.. ew I hate this when it happens. So now I have learned my lesson and I use lip balms all the time. I even use lips balms more than lipsticks as some lipsticks are very dry and make my lips worst.
My top lip balm picks are:
1) Maybelline- Baby lips in pink( the colour does not matter): http://www.maybelline.com/products/lip-makeup/lip-balm/baby-lips.aspx
2) Primark- lip balm in vanilla( I love it, it smells really good as well)
3) Next- lip balm in coconut( mmm i love coconut)
Third category: Use face moisturiser- It is very important to take care of our faces as we can not cover them as we will not be able to see and it is also creepy to cover your face to be honest. As you understood cold makes everything dry so our face gets dry as well. Face moisturisers can keep your face healthy, hydrated, shiny and beautiful. I personally use face moisturiser in the morning and before going to sleep.
My top face moisturiser picks are:
1) Nivea- cream: http://shop.nivea.co.uk/nivea-soft-25ml.html
2) Garnier- Moisture match: http://www.garnier.co.uk/_en/_gb/moisture-match/home.aspx
Fourth category: Use body moisturisers- Even though we can cover our bodies with clothes and etc, still it is very important to keep it moisturised as cold can pass through our clothes and can cause dryness to our body. Using body moisturisers will help to keep our bodies soft like a baby's bum!
My top body moisturiser picks are:
1) Johnson's- body care 24hr moisture: http://www.johnsonsbeauty.co.uk/body-care/24hour-moisture.php
2) Avon- silky moisture with argan oil: http://reviews.avonshop.co.uk/9028-en_gb/37782/avon-skin-so-soft-silky-moisture-creamy-body-wash-reviews/reviews.htm
Fifth category: Drink loads of water- Water is very essential for our every day well being. Now that it is winter our bodies forget very easily that we need water as it is not hot to make us crave it. We need to remind our selves to drink at least 8 glasses of water every day. Do not forget, our bodies consist of water anyway so it is very important to drink it ;)
Sixth and last at last category: Take vitamins- Not only our outer self is important to take care but we need to take care also our inner self. The sun helps a lot to our health as we take many important vitamins from it. Unfortunately, during the winter with the lack of the sun (especially in England) our body can not get these important vitamins. Not taking these vitamins will make our body to run down and some common symptoms that can appear are: feel moody, down, not motivated, sick, have headaches and dizziness.
My top vitamin picks are:
1) Vitamin C- helps generally to feel better. : http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/asda-compare-prices/vitamins_and_supplements/asda_chewable_vitamin_c_500mg_120.html
2) Iron- especially we women need to take iron every day. :http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/tesco-price-comparison/vitamins_and_supplements/tesco_womens_health_iron_14mg_90.html
3) Zinc- It even helps to make our hair stronger and not to fall. : http://www.tesco.com/groceries/Product/Details/?id=273211010
4) Fish oil- Even though it sounds disgusting it is very good for our health. :http://www.hollandandbarrett.com/pages/product_detail.asp?pid=662
These are my top tips to keep yourself healthy during the winter.
Take care,
