Winter time always brings a new set of challenges for your hands and feet care. The air is dryer and many times your hands and feet become dry. Heels often crack during the winter months. This is the time to take care of your hands and feet to prevent infections and dry skin.
There are many ways to keep your hands and feet luxurious and beautiful. The following are a few steps to keep your skin protected (this is your body’s largest organ):
Cleaning chores wear gloves to protect your skin from chemicals. This prevents drying and burns.
Surgical gloves work well and are disposable to protect against germs with reuse
Wash hands well after cleaning
When completed with chores take a few moments to rub a good lotion into your hands, fingers, and cuticle. We recommend Heaven to Earth (H2E) Spa Collection Coconut Lime Verbena. It is an office favorite.
Bath time at bath time use olive oil before your bath. This will seal moisture in your hands and feet. Right after your bath make sure to the moisturizer with a good lotion to seal in moisture. Coconut oil has essential vitamin oils leaving your radiant silky skin creating harmony and replenishment to the body.
Gloves wearing gloves prevent the need for using sanitizer when in public as well as keeping the cold dry air from your hands. Use cotton gloves at night. Moisture your hands with Burt’s Bees Almond Milk Hand Cream and wear with gloves during the night.
Scrub using a nice sugar scrub with coconut oil will help exfoliate the top layer of skin and opens the pores. Gently rub the sugar scrub in a circular motion and rinse with lukewarm water.
Manicure and Pedicure keeping up on your manicure and pedicures during the winter months. This will keep your heels and cuticle healthy. Always a fun nail color for the holidays is fabulous. We recommend LV Day Spa in the Phoenix area. Their locations are recommended by local physicians and physical therapist for patients with diabetes and other health conditions. Their salons are kept sterile and clean.
Humidifier adding a humidifier in your rooms will bring moisture back in the room. You can also add a nice rose or lavender aromatherapy for a nice calming effect.
Foot Soaking winter time is hard on our feet. A great way to relax tired feet care from winter walking or long days is a foot soak with Epsom salt. Then follow-up with the Burt’s Bees Tips and Toes Kit.
Socks wearing socks daily keep your feet warm and dry. Before putting your socks on clean your feet with a mild soap, and use a good lotion (we recommend Burt’s Bees Coconut Foot Cream).
Winter is a beautiful time of year when family, friends, and neighbors gather to celebrate, party, and enjoy life. You will have the best hands and feet (for the time you need to remove your muddy shoes at the door) at any event.

The fashion show brings top models and celebrities to an exotic location to present the best Victoria’s Secret has to offer in the upcoming year. It is a great holiday gift for any person on your list. This season the runway had the following looks:

Gigi Hadid, Victoria’s Secret model was not on the runway due to Visa issues as well. Alessandra Ambrosio closes out the runway and it is very fitting as this is her last runway show with Victoria’s Secret angels.
This year’s runway did have a slip and fall that did air on CBS during the show. Ming Xi, came down the runway waving her hands in the air, encouraging the audience to get louder. She is happy to walk in front of her family and hometown crowd. Her heel caught in her skirt, and she fell to the ground. Xi gathered her gigantic flowered costume and tried to recover, Brazilian model Gizele Oliveira assisted with getting her back on her feet. Xi gracefully completed the runway and pose.
The runway was a night of fantasy, sexy, and beauty. The collections a little edgy and fun with a soft feminine goddess look.

There is always the sun, wind, cold, and wet weather to contend with in the winter months. This brings stress and damage to your hair.
The best hair care to protect your hair and scalp is keeping your hair covered. This will protect your hair. This protection does create a sweat issue that can irritate your scalp. This gentle laundry soap for your hats will help with the irritation. Changing from a wool hat assists with irritation of the scalp’s sensitive skin.
Preventing drying of your hair and scalp is a challenge during winter. Hydration is key in the dry winter months. Keeping hydrated will prevent drying hair, skin (even the scalp). Maily O’Neil, the owner of Mai Salon, states, “Hairstyles that do not require any hot tools are:
Embracing your natural curl
For styling, use a larger comb to comb or with fingers, and damp set with bobby pins.
Limiting your use of drying hair styling products (hair dryer, flat or curling iron) can help with preventing damage to your hair.
Continue keeping your hair trimmed during the winter months to keep hair healthy looking. This keeps the dry and damaged ends from splitting.
Deep condition weekly and limiting hair washing will keep hair healthy and easier to manage. Using a shampoo specifically for the season or your hair type is key to success. We enjoy products from Maple Holistic. They have a fabulous winter shampoo and conditioner for your winter hair. O’Neil says, “using the right shampoo, conditioner and moisturizer product to enhance and set the curls naturally.” It is important to remember to not leave the house with your hair wet. This will risk breaking, further damage, brittle, and drying to your hair.
O’Neil recommends, “Controlling frizzy hair needs humidifying products which attract moisture to control frizz.” Invest in a humidifier to control this frizz. This will add moisture back to your office or home atmosphere. When running the heater it does dry the air. This will prevent frizzy hair often found in the winter months. It also keeps your skin moist and less dry feeling.
Keeping your hair healthy during the winter months will make you the talk of the town through the holidays, Thanksgiving to New Year’s Eve. Send your winter hair selfies here using #4ChionStyle.
