Avoid this look primarily by staying out of the sun.  But if the sun finds a way to ravage your skin this summer, combat the pain by applying cool, plain yogurt to sunburned skin, which has proven to be beneficial in taking the sting out of scorched skin.  Products that contain lidocaine are also effective for soothing sunburned skin.

Before throwing out expensive mineral makeup because you think it irritates your skin, try using a different brush first.  Many times it’s makeup  brushes that causes your face sensitivity and itchiness as opposed to the makeup itself.  Because synthetic hair brushes tend to cause irritation and even tiny abrasions to tender facial skin, opt to go with an all natural brush.  You’ll feel the difference immediately.  Eco-Tools makes inexpensive high quality, all natural brushes that are, of course, eco-friendly.  Love that!

Not all addictions are bad, especially when your addiction is to smelling good.  When you want your skin to smell fresh and clean, and not overbearing with perfume, scented body oils are your ticket.  It’s the perfect alternative to perfume, and actually improves the look and feel of your skin.  Best of all, they evoke instant-compliments.  Perfect for date night, when you want to want to smell pretty, and not like a harsh perfume.

The cardinal sin of skincare is sleeping with your makeup on.  No matter how tired you are, wash your face before bed.   Your skin collects pore-clogging oil during the day.  According to a study in the American Journal of Epidemiology, there’s also a link between air pollution and skin bumps…especially if you live in high pollution areas, like Los Angeles, Chicago and Cincinnati.

Get yourself into a good skincare routine.  It really only takes two minutes before bed to cleanse, tone and moisturize.  Don’t have a skincare regime yet?  Try Supernatural Botanicals Skincare System.

Get rid of the end-of-winter skin with a facial mask you can whip up in your own kitchen.  Honey is ultra-moisturizing to the skin, and gently exfoliates the skin to create a fresh glow. 

It’s simple to make.  Simply mix 1 teaspoon of honey with 2 tablespoons of milk and heat it in the microwave for 15 seconds to melt the honey. Apply on to face, let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes, wash with warm water and apply a good moisturizer.  The honey will mosturize and soften the dry skin area.   Using it for an extensive time period can actually slightly whiten skin color.

You might be surprised to learn that adding a little salt to your bath water can actually help improve your circulation.  Bath salts also reduce tenderness.  They are recommended for people with back pain, arthritis, muscle tension or spasms, and minor work and sports injuries.  They’re great for easing stiff, sore, muscles and aching feet and legs. Perfect for post-workout relief for sore muscles.Bath salts open the pores to purify the skin, cleansing away dirt, sweat, and toxins. They aid in the healing of dry skin, making skin softer and more supple. Salts can help improve common irritations such as insect bites, minor rashes, and calluses on feet, as well as more serious skin conditions like athlete’s foot, eczema, and psoriasis. High quality salts may also help improve the appearance of scars.  Salts made with essential oils offer the added benefit of aromatherapy. Pleasant, soothing scents have been shown to induce calmness and promote relaxation. Scented bath salts combine these attributes with other healing properties. The ability to relax and unwind at the end of the day is also the best way to insure sound, restful sleep at night, and bath salts can help.
