Massage Therapy is very Helpful during the cold weather season
So many of us suffer from body changes during the cold weather season. Muscles respond to cold by constricting and If you are already suffering from tight sore muscles and joint inflammation the cold can exacerbate the symptoms. Regular Massage therapy helps to create space in the body and counteracts the constricting effect cold has on the muscles and joints. When the bodies tissues have adequate space many important circulatory, metabolic and immune system responses can occur very efficiently. This efficiency promotes renewed health and well-being. Another added benefit to having regular Massage Therapy during the cold weather season is that massage promotes healthy messages to the nervous system and helps the body resist negative prolonged holding patterns of poor posture and chronic pain “bracing against the cold”. Chronic pain patterns which may be worse when weather conditions are too cold and damp can be altered into a state of less pain pattern. Giving the body time to adapt to feeling less pain and good health is a very important approach to maintaining a healthy body and mind Massage therapy is extremely helpful in keeping healthy patterns that our bodies can adapt to and begin to adopt.
There are other ways in which you can enhance the benefits of regular Massage therapy. For instance take lots of warm baths and showers. Layer your clothing keep your body warm so that your body may combat the constricting effects of the cold. If you can. Keep active and flexible with regular outdoor and indoor exercise like dancing ,walking and Yoga class.

Skincare routine Basics
If you ever wanted to know the basics needed in a healthy skincare routine here is a comprehensive guideline
Begin with the basics and observe the changes in your skin as you learn what works best for your skin. Include in your routine the facial skin as well as the skin on your neck area and décolleté ( the upper chest area).
Cleanse – The first step starts here most importantly your cleanser must never have a drying effect on your skin. Even if your skin is oily use a cleanser that contains emollients .Throughout your skincare routine beginning here with Cleanse choose products that never strip your skin of it’s natural oils and let each product add moisture and balance to the acid mantle of the skin. This will ward off blemishes and premature aging of the skin.
Exfoliate – After you cleanse follow up with a gentle exfoliant use a product that has moisturizing ingredients too. An exfoliant will eliminate the gummy flakey skin surface and prepare the skin to better absorb skincare ingredients that nourish and balance the skin. Manual exfoliation also stimulates the skin to create collagen, which can help to refine pores and help with pre mature aging of the skin. Exfoliate your skin every other day be gentle. Scrubbing too hard can damage your skin.
Mask – The mask is used to further correct unbalanced skin by incorporating active ingredients specifically needed for your skin type. For example if you have oily skin the mask would contain properties that gently balance your skin to produce the correct amount of oil. If you have combination skin don’t be afraid to use two different masks at the same time apply each mask to their specific problem area. Masks can be used 3-4 times a week or on the opposite days of exfoliation.
Tonic/Toner – A toner removes any leftover cleanser, exfoliant, or mask and balances your skins ph level. Use a toner before you apply your final step, which is the moisturizing step.
Moisturize – A moisturizer is your last step in your skincare routine. Choose one to match your skin type and choose a lighter formula for hot weather.

Summer time skin
Every season has it’s own effect on our skin. Summer time weather is something most of us look forward to all year. The long hours of sunlight extending our days, delicious fresh fruits , Al fresco dining and outdoor fun in the sun. Sun exposure however without the right sun protection can premature the aging of the skin and make us more susceptible to skin cancer. So don’t forget your hat and sunglasses and your SPF. Another effect Summer sun has on the skin is the dehydrating effect and clogged skin pore effect. Our skin can get over dry, loose it’s nutrients and produce more oil that can get trapped and cause blemishes. In addition to SPF it is important to nourish your skin , keep it clean ( never go to sleep without removing your makeup) and protect it. Drink lots of water and get Facials.

Winter skin bath and facial recipes
Winter skin is here. Is your skin extra dry and itchy? Do you have red scaly patches that appear in spots every winter? If your a Winter skin sufferer try a luxurious bath filled with ingredients to soothe and moisturize your skin and at the same time unwind your mind.
The first tool in your fabulous bath kit is your favorite candle. Candlelight creates a relaxing glow that signals your brain to know this is warm bath leave the world behind time.
Let’s get creative with some soothing skin ingredients: combine 2oz fresh grated ginger ,2 tsp.lemon juice and 2 cups water. Bring ingredients to a boil. Turn heat off and remove from burner let stand for 4hrs to use later at bath time.
At this time you may want to prepare a mask you can have on your face while you soak in the tub. This recipe is great for Winter dry facial skin Combine 1 ripe banana, ground up 1tsp of almonds in food processor (create a paste consistency) and 2 tsp yogurt. Set aside in the fridge until bath time. While soaking in the bath apply mask to face and leave on for 10 minutes remove gently with cloths waiting in a basin of warm water. Let bath infusion and oils make their way to your face for extra moisture benefit.
When your ready to bathe fill your bath tub with warm water add 1/2 cup of your infusion, Mix in 4 Tablespoons of your favorite skin oil (some examples are Organic olive oil, coconut oil, apricot seed oil, almond oil, grape seed oil.) Light your candle, dim the lights, and enjoy a good for your skin and mind soak.
When you ready to come out and face the world again distribute the oils in your bath onto your skin, lightly rinse under the shower so that some of the oils remain on your skin, and lovingly put on you favorite cotton pajamas, wrap up in blankets and rest.
