Winter Come Again!!

Winter Come Again!!

With the winter setting in, it is indeed time for us to seek our winter remedies.The cold and the strong winds that we have here, especially make our skin and hair dry and patchy.But this is also the best time to repair and rejuvenate our health.
When it comes to harsh weather, I always follow my grandma’s wisdom.She always advised me to stay with nature when it comes to protecting oneself from its harsh elements. What I’m talking about is finding the cure from nature itself.Cosmetics will also help but I find a more complete care in being more natural , and what more, it has no side effects and the cost is also almost nil.I’m not talking about herbal products,my skin is especially sensitive to harsh climates and I did rather pick my solutions with no bar codes and expiry dates.
Oil has to be an essential ingredient in our skin/hair care during these times.We have medicinal oils like nalpamaradhi enna,kottumchukadhi thailam etc that are loaded with medicinal values and are also comfortable in price.True ayurvedic oils don’t have expiry dates and oils like the ones I mentioned above ,soothes your skin especially after a warm bath. It is best to avoid using soaps during such harsh climate and in turn one could use gram flour , a natural scrub. To remove tan it is best to put a pack of yogurt and gram flour taking special care not to let it dry.
It would be best if one trims the split-ends of the hair and thus be prepared for the winter. Split-ends otherwise would damage the hair all the more during winter. It is best advised to oil the tips and the scalp of the hair.Using natural shampoos like crushed hibiscus leaves and flowers is very good for the hair and scalp . It is a great shampoo, and even lathers! And it is also a good conditioner.Using hair oils like neelabringadhi, kanjuniyadi, dhurdurapathradhi is also best advised. These oils are a one word cure for almost all ailments associated with hair and scalp.In winter one must provide extra care to the scalp and always see to it that the skin in the scalp in never dry.
Get back to nature for a full cure ..it is effective,natural and pleasing to one’s pocket ….Happy winter & Happy skin and hair care!
