Wake-up tired skin and eyes

Christmas and the festive period can leave skin looking tired and dry. Late nights, rich food and alcohol all contributes to make you feel sluggish, and it has the same effect on your skin.
Team this with the effects of freezing rain and dry central heating, and it is unsurprising skin starts to suffer and bags appear under your eyes.
But instead of reaching for greasy moisturisers, consider taking a natural approach to skincare first.
Tired eyes
Sleep is always the best treatment for tired-looking eyes, but where that is not possible, there are other ways you can get back your sparkle.
Cool cucumber slices may seem clichéd but they really work. The high level of water in cucumber is a gentle way to rehydrate the area, and low temperatures will sooth puffy skin.
“They need to be thin and flexible so the flesh of the vegetable will come into contact with your skin. Lie down, close your eyes, and place the slices over closed eyelids. Relax for about ten minutes. This is not only a great beauty treatment, but it is a great way to unwind after a long day,” explained Brenna Stone for DailyGlow.com.
Stressed-out skin
Rosehip Oil is well known for its anti-aging properties, but it is also ideal for rejuvenating tired-looking skin according to Candice Batista, Eco Expert on The Marilyn Denis Show.
“It has a high content of vitamin C and is prefect used under make-up because it helps protect the skin from the harsh winter weather,” she told the Huffington Post.
This oil, made from pressed rosehip seeds, will make skin feel soft and smooth without leaving a greasy residue. Add a few drops drops to your normal gentle moisturiser and apply to the face, neck and chest.
Winter dry hair
As well as the skin and eyes, cold weather, poor diet and central heating can dry out hair. This leaves it looking at its worst just when you want to look your best.
Argan oil is the perfect natural remedy to get your locks back on top form for all the festive frivolities.
Ms Batista explained that it is “rich in vitamin A, phenols and fatty acids” and a generous few drops will provide “deep hydration for your skin and hair”.
- Carrot Oil for Face Feb 19, 2021Hello :) Carrot Oil contains Beta Carotene and Vitamin A which, by eliminating toxic build-up and repairing sun-damaged skin, helps to improve skin complexion. Antiseptic properties also assist in reducing breakouts and the formation of acne. It is also great for hydrating the skin. So mixing it with Jojoba oil may help. I would also recommend mixing Jojoba oil and Tamanu oil as both have great moisturising properties and are great for acne prone skin. Hope this helps!
- Carrot Oil for Face Feb 19, 2021I have acne. I have been using jojoba oil only but I noticed my face is sometimes dry. If I add carrot oil will it help moisturize my face and clear the spots or should I join argan oil to the mix?
- Ashwagandha Dosage for AnxietyFeb 04, 2021I found a supplement that is 500 mg, 120 Count. Do you recommend taking 1 capsule daily? or 2 capsules? I also take thyroid medication and an SSRI among other things.
- The amazing Ashwagandha benefits for womenFeb 04, 2021Hello Dia, Thank you for your comment. Research is confusing when it comes to testosterone levels with PCOS and using Ashwagandha. As it is an adaptogenic herb, it will 'adapt' to the environment of the body to support hormonal balance. A huge therapeutic benefit of Ashwagandha is its ability to balance cortisol levels, which could improve stress and symptoms of PCOS also. If you are currently using any medications or under medical supervision, please seek advice from your practitioner to ensure there are no interactions. I hope this helps :)

- The amazing Ashwagandha benefits for womenJan 20, 2021Hi Simie, thank you for your message. Ashwagandha is safe to be taken alongside other supplements including Vitamin E and Calcium. We would advise you check with your GP for interactions with estrogen medications for menopause as there are different variations of these medications. I hope this helps :)
