The Cure for Winter Skin
Is it me or does it feel like Winter here on the East coast is just getting started? I hate the way my skin feels in the winter!

So it’s back to school now and within just a few weeks I’m ready to escape! I’m so excited that The Body Shop introduced the Spa Of The World collection, bringing in the best exotic spa rituals from all around the world for you to explore, at home.
Oils of Life
I can’t begin to explain how much I love using oils on my face and skin. Although my skin is already pretty oily, facial oils have anti-bacterial properties that combat against breakouts and keep your skin clear. The Body Shop’s Oils of Life Intensely Revitalizing Essence Lotion is infused with Black Cumin seed oil from Egypt, Camellia seed oil from China and Rosehip seed oil from Chile. The unique oil and water formula makes it super light so you don’t feel like you’re wearing it at all. To finish it off, I add The Body Shop’s Oils Of Life Intensely Revitalizing Gel Cream. with illuminating micro-pearls. Slightly lighter than the Intensely Revitalizing Cream, if you’ve got normal to oily skin like me – it’s the perfect night-time treatment to stay moisturized all night long.
Not your regular bubble bath
This is the grown up version of a bubble bath you used to have with your rubber ducky. Rather than a gel or salt, the Egyptian Milk & Honey Bath comes in a power that turns into a skin-softening milk bath. Renowned as a beauty ritual used by Cleopatra in ancient Egypt, you’ll truly feel like a queen relaxing in this. I love how creamy this bath is, and it smells so yummy! My skin feels super soft after this.

Oil Pulling Made Easy @YogiGuruNanda Ayurvedic Oil
I started doing Oil Pulling about a year ago and with my really strong gag reflex, it has not been easy. The trick is, don’t use too much oil! You will naturally salivate and create more ‘liquid’ in your mouth. If you start with too much oil, you will definitely want to throw up. But I recently tried the Ayurvedic Oil for oil pulling from Gurunanda and found it easy to use. It is a blend of various oils including peppermint so it doesn’t feel as oily.
Tridosha imbalance is thought by many to cause health problems and disease. Diet, exercise and elimination of toxins are all major factors in finding and maintaining Ayurvedic balance.
GuruNanda lost 40 pounds, lowered his cholesterol and controlled his diabetes with yoga and an Ayurvedic diet rich in vegetables and lean proteins.
Oil pulling is also based on Ayurvedic science. Soon after waking, before eating or brushing teeth, pulling oil is swished around in the mouth and spit out to “pull” bacteria and other toxins from the body. Pulling Oil has long been used to help promote weight loss, better breath, healthier teeth and gums, thicker, more lustrous hair, and radiant skin, with claims increasingly backed by research.

The Best Summer Skin Secret
It’s summer and that means your body will be exposed in many different ways. Legs, arms, toes, hands, face- everything needs to be soft and smoothe.
I love beauty products. Love LOVE LOVE them. Creams, oils, anything yummy smelling I usually buy. This also comes at a price, meaning I have too much and not enough creams that work. I recently found this ONE oil, that I have now been faithful to.
Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula with Vitamin E Skin Therapy Oil is amazing. Literally I don’t need any of my other creams, and it makes me feel so silky and smooth with no oily factor plus it smells yummy.
This is a multi-purpose oil, and I’ve used it in a few ways. I’ve used it on my skin after a bath just to keep the moisture in. I’ve used it just on my legs to make them supermodel soft and shiny… (it’s my best kept secret). I’ve used just a bit of the oil on my hair, to make it soft. I use it on the ends and it actually keeps them from splitting. Another way I’ve used this oil, was to rub it on my cuticles before giving myself a manicure.
It literally dries in a few minutes and was like a brand new skin every week and it has a hint of chocolate. YUMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!! Almost good enough to eat. It really is so relaxing and completely dries with no greasy feel. I’m telling you ladies… and gents … you need this oil in your life. Get rid of everything else, and let this little baby work wonders for you.The bottle lasted me at least a month and a half and you can get it at Shopper’s or Wal- Mart.
Try it out and let me know how it feels.
Have any other way to use the oil then what I have listed above?? Leave a comment, twitter me: @itstanyag or email me and let me know. I would love to try different ways to use it.
