Combat winter dry skin using a homemade facial toner



In order to prevent winter dry skin, you must add a couple of things to your regular skin care regime. Winter skin care calls for extra attention to moisturizing the skin. 


By using a facial moisturizer your face will remain protected and nourished throughout the cold months helping fight off the undesirable effects of winter dry skin. Also, a homemade facial toner will add moisture to the skin as well as keep it refreshed and cleansed. Toners prepare the skin for moisturizers helping the skin absorb better and also removing any extra 
impurities.


How to Make 3 Wonderfully Easy Winter Skin Toners 


Cold weather is on its way and the winter season is just aroundthe corner. What does this mean to your skin? Cold weather canbe damaging to your skin. If your face is not properlyprotected, it can dry out, crack, and wrinkle! It is imperativeto have a good moisturizer. But do we need a toner too?


For years I concentrated on cleansers and moisturizers,neglecting toners. The only time a toner was used was when Ipurchased a complete skin care regimen set that contained atoner at the department store. When I began to make my own skincare products, I was concerned mainly with lotions andmoisturizers. I finally began to realize that a toner has manybenefits that I was missing out on by not including it in mydaily skincare program:


* Removes traces of cleanser that was left behind after cleansing
* Help restore your skin to its nature acid PH
* Refresh your skin throughout the day
* Set make up
* Adds additional moisture
* Conditions the skin


One thing to remember is to keep it simple. Prepare a tonerthat can be used for both a toner and a refresher. Before youmake your toner, be sure to have the bottle available forstorage. A good choice is a spray bottle, so you can use yourtoner as a refresher throughout the day. Be sure to store yourtoner in a cool place, the refrigerator is ideal. You may use acotton ball to apply your toner after cleansing and also spritzthroughout the day.


A couple of easy toners you can make to help nourish, protect,and moisturize your skin during the winter are the PH Toner,Herbal Refresher, and the Aloe Soother.

Peaches Anti-Cancer

Peaches are good for you because they are a source of vitamins A and C and they are a good source of fiber especially with the peal. Peaches are also a good source of potassium and contain some calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and folate. Though low in calories—one cup of sliced peaches has only 60 calories—and composed of 80 percent water, peaches are packed with fiber, vitamins, minerals, and carotenoids. The dose of fiber in peaches acts as a gentle laxative, aids digestion, and may also help combat cancer.  Peaches is rich in cancer-fighting vitamin A in the form of beta carotene,  as well as the immune-boosting vitamin C, which also protects against heart disease. Rich in iron and potassium, peaches help ensure proper functioning of cells, the balance of fluid and electrolytes in the body, and nerve signaling.  Lutein and zeaxanthin —two carotenoids found in peaches—help guard against blindness caused by age-related macular degeneration.
