Health and Beauty Tip -- Moisturize!

Health and Beauty Tip -- Counteract Blemishes in Winter
If you are prone to blemishes, you may notice they get worse in the winter. This is because your skin gets dry when exposed to cold air, and produces more oil to compensate.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Facial Scrubs
Be careful of scrubs and exfoliants that use things like ground-up walnut shells. They are likely to have sharp edges and can irritate or even cut your face, especially if you have sensitive skin. Look for a cleanser that uses "microbeads"; since they are perfectly round, they'll do their job without irritating your skin.
