Feeling comfortable in my own skin again this winter

One of the things I am always the most concerned about in the winter is my skin. Though I am lucky to have good skin, that doesn’t mean that I don’t suffer from seasonal changes like many Canadians do. Dry and cracked skin can become a big issue plus conditions like scabies are more common in the winter because the mites prefer the cold weather. Thankfully, I’ve only had to use home treatments for scabies once before but is definitely something you need to be wary of in the winter. As is the dry skin and itchiness that comes with the winter chills and wind.

I recently had the opportunity to visit with Shoppers Drug Mart Beauty Advisor, Ross Flower to talk about my specific skin issues in tandem with some simple food additions I’ve added to my diet thanks to President’s Choice.

Chasing the Sky

When you surprise someone, you want to do it properly.  You want them to have no idea, to be stunned and to have that face of pure joy at the surprise. That was my face as I neared my seat, on a plane bound for Tromso, Norway, within the Arctic circle.  You see, my travel buddy Liam had planned this trip from beginning to end.  There were no clues.  I had to lay out luggage for all eventualities – hot and cold, warm and freezing, and the rest was hidden from me.  I was not allowed to know when I had to wake up until I was going to bed the night before and I was not allowed anywhere near the baggage.

A Complete Plan and Cookbook to Be Vibrant Every Day!

As a Holistic Nutritionist, I go against some of the norm within my industry, as I don’t necessarily believe in intense detoxing or ritualized cleansing (just don’t even get me started on juice cleanses). I do believe in living a detoxifying lifestyle, though. Your body wants to get rid of the junk in order to function properly – you just have to do what you can to help your internal work crew do their jobs safely and efficiently.
