Winter is in full swing and so are the skin issues. Not to mention that taking care of your skin in this weather is not new but still most of us being lazy or due to busy schedules fail to do so and this results in various serious skin problems. Here in Canada, winter lasts longer than in other countries and it’s hard to keep a winter skin regimen for that long. Still, it’s really important to keep a check on our skin hydration as coping with extremely dry weather because it is not an easy task.

Skin is worse in winter as cold temperatures and low humidity levels result in dry air that draws moisture away from the skin. Harsh winter winds and indoor heating can worsen the problem and lead to cracked and super flaky skin.

There are a few excellent home remedies which simply soothe dry skin such as:

• Applying moisturiser immediately after washing
• Applying Lip Balm
• Using Vitamin E riched oils rather than body lotions
• Nice homemade DIY scrub for removing dead skin and getting a natural glow

Not to mention staying hydrated will rejuvenate your skin to look and feel smooth and soft. The outermost layer of the skin has the moisture it needs to flush away toxins and carry nutrients to the skin cell. So in order to keep that soft look uptight I opt for a DIY homemade Rose scrub from the above list.

Rose has anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, which are great for reducing redness on the skin and treating any blemishes. Roses are also a natural astringent, so they can help tighten your pores and hydrate your skin. I am going to use dried Rose Petals for my DIY scrub as rose petals are beneficial to health and beauty in many ways. They not only have a lovely relaxing aroma but also an extract that contains Vitamins and antioxidants which can help soothe and repair the skin.

DIY ROSE PETAL SCRUB: How to make it?

• Take a pretty airtight container or jar
• Take dry rose petals and crush them finely with your hands
• Mix Coconut oil in a jar with petals
• Add granulated sugar in the correct proportion to the petals into the jar
• Add a few drops of fresh honey to it and blend all the ingredients together until they mix up with each other and it’s done!

DIY ROSE PETAL SCRUB: Where to keep it?

As all the ingredients are homemade and contain no preservatives, we can keep the scrub for months in an air-tight container

DIY ROSE PETAL SCRUB: When to use it?

The best time to use this scrub is right before the morning bath as the skin needs hydration most at that time. You can see results in two-three days, just keep on using it regularly
