How winter is hard on your skin
As the skin loses its moisture, the outer layer begins to feel dry, itchy, and tight. Untreated, the skin may eventually form hard areas like calluses, or crack and open into unsightly wounds that increase your risk of infection .
'When it's very cold, there is less moisture in the environment .This lack of moisture is compounded by wind, which blows moisture away from the skin, and central heating. In a dry environment, water is lost from the keratinocytes - or skin cells - leaving skin feeling sore and chapped.
Our Eden Salve and Hand Salves are very moisturizing with beeswax, olive oil, and herbs that help keep your hands and skin moisturized !
