Cooler winter temperatures and central heating really take a toll on your skin. An increased awareness can make all the difference between a dull winter complexion and radiance.

1. Before turning off your warm shower, alternate cold and hot water for about 15 seconds several times. Use this hydrotherapy technique to revitalize the skin by increasing the flow of blood through the body. It's invigorating and highly beneficial.

2. Use a good moisturizer. Olavie's Moisturizing Lotion is free of parabens and chock full of antioxidants. It is certified organic.

3. Exfoliate at least twice a week. This will remove dead skin cells and allow the skin to absorb extra moisture. Hydrated skin looks and feels
better. Olavie's Sugar Scrub with grape seed extract will do the trick.

4. Besides drinking your 8 glasses of water a day, try a glass of hot water with lemon. This Chinese remedy energizes your entire system.

5. Lastly, get plenty of sleep. Your oxygen levels will drop if you don't get enough and therefore your cells will not be renewed as quickly. This allows for premature degenerative skin aging.
