Skin Healing

I don't know about you, but my skin has been so dry lately! A lot of it has to do with birthing a kid and having my hormones drop off, plus all of the fluid I lose breastfeeding...but still I do not ever remember having such dry skin. It actually is a phenomenon with new mothers. We get dry sallow skin from the baby taking so much from us (its worth it btw). I slather myself every night in a rich organic almond/lavendar oil which has helped but my skin still looks burnt out. Once you get out of your bath or shower and are still damp, cover your entire body with a rich healing oil and wrap up in pj's. Really lay it on. I even do a quick foot massage and oil in between my toes and cover in socks. I have also upped my good fat intake with daily Omega Oils (Udo's brand) and Flaxseed and organic freshly ground peanut butter which again has helped but still dry. So today I decided to do a facial mask. The few mask products that I own are way too drying so I walked myself to the kitchen. I made a mask out of half a ripe avocado, 1 tbs of raw honey and 1 tbs of greek yogurt. I mashed and mixed it all up into a smooth consistency and covered my face and neck with it. The refrigerated yogurt is a nice touch because it makes the mask cooling and is full of lactic acid which eats away clogged pores and bacteria and smoothes away wrinkles. The honey makes it smell delicious plus it acts as an antibacterial and tightens the skin. The avocado replenishes dry skin with a rich and deeply penetrating vegetable oil. Plus the added benefit is that it contains only 3 ingredients!! I love putting on my skin things that I could eat. Because everything that goes into our skin goes into our bodies. We tend to think of our skin as an outer barrier that is like a shield, which in some respects it is, but it also is very porous and its close to ingesting a product. So try this out and see if you skin becomes a glowing fabulous shining ray of light! xoxomc
