Hi guys, this is me again. Eva from Bay Harbour Med Spa. And I'm going to tell you a little
story or I'm going to explain to you why it is important to moisturize your skin and hydrate
your skin in the winter even more so, and, with heavier richer products than in the summer.
We are now in the midst of winter and most of America is suffering now with horrible
freeze and blast of cold weather and snow. And one of the things that happens for most
people is particularly in the winter we suffer tremendously, our skin gets dehydrated tremendously
but here is a story the dehydration actually does not happen necessary to the biggest extent
when you go out. Into, when you walk into the cold weather or the snow. The dehydration
actually happens when you are inside your house, when you are inside your car, when
you are inside your office. Do you know why? Because most places heat up, you have electric
heaters, wood heaters, you have all artificial heaters. And when you take the skin and you
take it from one extreme to the other one, there is a tremendous change. So lets say
you are at home or you are in the office and it's twenty below zero. And it's very cold
and inside it's nice and warm and but this heat actually drains your body and drains
your skin from the moisture because it dries it out. Remember heat dries out. Then you
go outside and you have suddenly from heat you go to cold temperature and the cold weather
blows on your skin, the skin is already dried out because the moisture is drained out of
the skin because the heat that's being produced artificially does not have humidity in it.
And it dries your skin out and you go with your skin out and you walk outside because
either you walk to your car or you have to go shopping or you have to go home, and that
dries your skin out and then you come home and because you are cold you turn on your
shower and you take a hot bath and then the heat dries your skin out and drains your skin
from any moisture and then suddenly you get this dry blotchy cracked skin so the solution
for this would be particularly in the winter in the winter time you guys have to do two
things. Water, intake of water, drinking water is very important because water is actually
what moisturizes your skin but it is also equally important to exfoliate your skin and
then supplement it with some serums that are natural oil based serums that will moisturize
the skin and bring moisture back to the skin. So for instance in my clinic, when I do microdermabrasion
treatments on people whether it's summer or winter. I make a combination I create a special
aromatherapy oil that comes from combination of natural oils with vitamins in there and
essential oils and I recommend every patient that comes to me to do microdermabrasion treatments
on their face and on their body, they buy this particular oil and then I tell everyone
after the treatment for forty-eight hours they have to wax their face or their body
wherever they do microdermabrasion first with water because water is a carrier then they
take a few drops of this aromatherapy oil and wet hands and wet face and apply it and
massage it into the skin. The body will absorb the nutrients and the emollient part of the
oil into the skin and keep the skin nice and moist and within an hour you will see that
most of the oil is absorbed into the skin because it is carried in with the water. So
water is very important. And exfoliation simultaneously is very important, cause remember if your
skin is already very dry and it's blotchy and skin is cracked nothing can go in. In
order for you to feel this dry feeling, chapped lips, chapped hands, chapped skin, legs it's
extremely important to do two things simultaneously. One is to exfoliate remove the dead skin,
allow new skin to come to the surface allow to stimulate your body and then simultaneously
you exfoliate and on the other hand, you put a lot of nutrients into the skin so you take
a lot of nutrients and this aromatherapy that I make or any nutritional oils and put it
with water to your skin externally and I recommend to do this when you go to bed. You do that
at night when you go to bed, and in the morning in cold weather when you wash your face in
the morning and I say the first thing after you brush your teeth you take this, let's
say this particularly aromatherapy oil or serum and you put it on your face and make
your coffee do children or your face or whatever it will absorb into your skin and leave your
skin smooth and soft and supple and then you can put on a little bit of your makeup on
or a little bit of your cream on and you have on your skin, but you gave your skin necessary
nutrients so for your face some for your body and it's extremely important that you do this
and you understand that in the winter you have to give nutrients to your skin but heavier
nutrients that would work. So for instance I would say for all the people that would
live in cold climates in the winter. Not only in America, anywhere in the winter. This would
be my suggestion, exfoliate the skin and then nourish the skin with serums that would have
a lot of natural nourishing oils in them. But simultaneously I would take in supplements
in vitamins I would take tremendous amounts of a supplements that would help to nourish
my internal parts and allow the body to do it's job. So for instance, Evening Primrose.
Fish Oil. Sea Buckthorn, ah, capsules are extremely healthy for your body internally
because when you take those as well during the day those keep moisturizing your body
and give nutrients internally to your organs to your skin and help more to the skin on
the surface pushing more collagen pushing allowing more elasticity from the inside.
So if you do it internally and externally, both together, you will suffer much less in
cold climates and in the winter and your skin will be moist and supple. If you look at my
skin and you know I come a little bit closer to the camera. I don't know how much you can
see. I look at myself when I talk to you guys so I don't know how much you can see but I,
we live in Florida and this place and time. Our temperatures to Florida are very very
cold. And our temperature. There's a drastic temperature drop so even for most of you guys
who are now fifty below zero you guys will think what is she talking about Florida you
are forty or forty-five degrees. What's that? That's summer. Not exactly because if you
live most of the year in the nineties or hundreds ah, your blood thins out. And suddenly when
their is a temperature drop by twenty or thirty degrees and you go into the forties it is
the same thing for us as it is for someone in New York who goes from seventy into twenty.
Why? In New York, the cold climates, people in four seasons don't. The blood of a person
who lives up north is not as thin as the blood of a person that lives in Florida. This is
why I tell you that right now for us, and you can see I'm dressed, I'm dressed and you
really don't see me dressed with warm clothes because it is cold for us it is cold and for
me my skin dries out immediately because of ponds because I might not feel it as much
because I am an avid believer in supplements and I take tremendous amounts of vitamins
and minerals and supplements every day so I take it and therefore I feel it less I feel
it because as nature is I go out in the evening, I want to take a warm bath, a hot bath, and
if it's chilly then I do sit in uh in warm water and my skin will be dryer but I make
sure that I exfoliate my skin while I sit in the bathtub and I sit in a warm bath and
then I step out, I make serums for me from different natural oils. I put it all over
my body. Then I put my nightgown on and go to sleep so my body rests, when you rest you
sleep and your body rests and everything can be absorbed into the skin but if you look
at my face you don't see anything you don't see dryness you don't see any shriveling of
my skin. It's because I moisturize internally and I do take care of it externally as well
and I differentiate my products when it's very warm and humid and I differentiate my
products when it's very cold and when I need to change so this is why I recommend to all
of you that listen to me and follow me and you relate to what I am saying about the cold
weather climate follow what I suggested externally make sure you exfoliate make sure that you
use appropriate natural oils and serums on your skin and make sure that you take internally
supplements that have a lot of, eh, moisturizing abilities that moisturize internal and the
internal parts of your body and evening primrose is very good, omega three fish oils are very
good, ah, ah, ah, sea buckthorn is very good and their are several supplements that are
oily that are emolient that are wonderful, wonderful for your skin. So please, guys,
take them, take them, take them. It's good for your body it's good for your skin, it's
good for your bones, it's good for your immune system it's good overall. So I hope that I'm
giving some information and some reprieve to you guys out there who suffer right now
in this very very cold front that we have all over America. So until next time, thank
you. Ciao. Eva.
