Shorter days, harsh winds, lower temperatures and the inevitable central heating tell us that winter has arrived, and though we all love to curl up on a winter’s evening and look forward to seasonal festivities, this new season can play havoc with our skin, especially on the face and hands. Dried out skin can lead to premature ageing, here nutritional expert and co-author of ‘Looking Good, Feeling Younger’, Alex Kirchin gives his tips for keeping youthful right through the winter

1/ Hydrate

Moderate your alcohol intake during the winter and increase the amount of water you drink. Central heating leads to greater fluid loss and a thirsty body is not healthy for the organs, including the skin. Alcohol dilates the blood vessels in the skin and excessive drinking can lead to chronic dilation of the capillaries causing a permanent flush on the face. Conversely, water helps your skin eliminate toxins.

2/ Hold on to the moisture

Every tv ad for famous beauty creams now includes Hyaluronic Acid (HA), which, it is claimed, when applied topically, can help reduce skin wrinkling. Well, taken internally as a food supplement, HA has the property of boosting the moisture content of the skin, plumping out wrinkles and enhancing the skin’s glow.

3/ Oil up

Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) are essential for a youthful appearance. Good fats, such as those found in Viridian’s 100% Organic Ultimate Beauty Oil, offer numerous health benefits. Our obsession with fat-free diets has left many people with chronic deficiencies in EFAs, leading to various symptoms including dry, flaky skin, eczema, excessive wrinkling, brittle nails and dry, flyaway or splitting hair. Flax oil, for instance, provides the anti-inflammatory fatty acids necessary for maintaining healthy and flexible cell membranes as well as exerting anti-viral, anti-fungal, and anti-bacterial properties.

100% Organic Ultimate Beauty Oil provides a delicious and balanced rich source of 3:6:9 fatty acids including GLA and a broad range of potent antioxidants including vitamin E and carotenoids.

4/ Starve cold sores

The herpes simplex or cold-sore virus stays in the body forever once contracted, but you can help reduce the incidence of break-outs by supplementing with the amino acid L-Lysine. The virus feeds on L-Arginine (another amino acid) and L-Lysine simply blocks the receptor sites for L-Arginine, effectively starving the virus and reducing its potency.

5/ Beauty as a reflection of inner happiness

It’s impossible to look good, if you don’t feel good. Seasonal Affected Disorder or SAD is felt by many during the long nights and shorter days of winter. The reduced sunlight hours affects the brain’s ability to produce certain ‘feel-good’ hormones. The herb Rhodiola rosea is classed as an adaptogen in that it helps the body and mind to adapt to change, raising mood and energy levels. It has been shown to help with stamina too, and so is especially helpful for busy mums, shift-workers and athletes. The so-called sunshine vitamin, Vitamin D, has also proved helpful in many conditions related to sun-deprivation including SAD.

Look out also for the anti-anxiety herb, Vervain, which can help relax the nervous system and induce feelings of peace and tranquillity. Try Vervain SOS Spray of Sunshine from Viridian Nutrition.

On a final sad note, we only have a few bottles of New Chapter Mushrooms left, they will be unavailable for some time from New Chapter, so stock up with your favourite now.
