Nourish and protect Avoid harsh detergent-based skincare products and use ones with herbal hydrating agents, such as marshmallow, calendula, chamomile and rosehip, to lubricate and moisturise skin and prevent it becoming dry and flaky. We love Springfield Certified Organic Rosehip Oil, a rich yet light and non-greasy oil that penetrates skin easily, providing a wealth of essential fatty acids, antioxidants and retinoic acid. These all help to maintain the health of cell membranes and also to regenerate and rejuvenate skin tissue, making it useful for reducing scarring, stretch marks,
wrinkles, and pigmentation, and improving skin elasticity. Lightly pat a few drops over skin while it is still damp from the shower or bath, and massage in gently. Another Go Vita favourite is the Weleda Skin Food range, which is favoured by celebrities like Victoria Beckham and Sharon Stone. In addition to the time- honoured Skin Food Rich Intensive Cream for Face and Body, there is now new Skin Food Light, Skin Food Body Butter and Skin Food Lip Balm. The Skin Food products contain pansy extract to soothe and moisturise, anti-inflammatory calendula extract, chamomile extract to regenerate skin, sunflower seed oil, which is high in skin-softening omega-9 fatty acids, and shea butter, which melts at body temperature and is rapidly absorbed into the skin. All of these products are a perfect treat for dry skin, helping to lock moisture into the skin and strengthen the skin’s lipid barrier, and so keeping it hydrated and plump, as well as providing antioxidant properties to fight free radicals from pollution.
Treat your feet and hands We tend to forget about our poor feet, shoved into socks and boots and not seen for months until spring reappears; our hands don’t fare much better, being exposed to wind, cold and biting rain. Try this easy trick to keep your feet and hands in tip-top condition. Before bed, and preferably after a warm bath while skin is still slightly damp, apply a lavish helping of Weleda Skin Food to your hands and feet and then pop on cotton gloves and socks, to protect your sheets. This superbly hydrating treatment is especially helpful for the needs of dry and sensitive skin, delivering nutrients deep within the skin’s layers, where they are most needed.
