Ep.9 - Why HOT Showers are Killing Your Skin - Don’t Turn Into a Wrinkled Prune This Winter - Keep the Skin on Your Body Soft and Smooth

I got an email from a listener named Kristy, who asked me - “How can I keep the skin on my body from becoming a wrinkled ‘prune” in the winter time? It always gets so dry. Help!” If this sounds like you, this episode is for you! Don’t worry - maintaining healthy and soft skin on your body during the dry winter months is easier than you think! Seriously. There are some easy fixes that take almost NO effort and don’t break the bank - you just have to basically approach your everyday showers and baths differently. Why? Because there are so many things that we tend to do as we are going about our normal shower/bath routine that sabotage our efforts for soft skin. So let’s just STOP doing them! In this episode I talk about - WHY your beloved hot showers are killing the moisture levels in your skin How to do bare bones exfoliation for your skin the easy way… (with just a washcloth if you have to) or how to buy or make your own DIY body scrub How to remember to moisturize properly and  SURPRISE- why using too much soap or body wash all over is another big NO NO…(I know, I know, it's not gross…just listen, ok?)   Here is a link to all of my favorite types of body care products that I talk about in this episode -  My Favorite Body Care Product List from my Amazon Store - https://amzn.to/4ar2VKo   DIY Body Scrub recipe -  1/2 cup brown or white sugar 1/4 cup Organic cold pressed oil (Sweet Almond and Jojoba are great) 1-2  drops of your favorite essential oil (no more!)  Mix throughly with a knife and transfer to a small plastic container that you will use in the shower after soaping up. Recipe is for one application. Discard after about 7-10 days.
