Winter Nutrition
With the seasons we need to adjust our diet, while in the summer the meals are light and quick to make, in the winter it is recommended to nourish our body with more warm and slow-cooked meals.
In the winter eat more warm hearty soups and casserole dishes, roasted nuts, herbal teas and steamed winter greens.

Skincare routine
It is very important to nourish the skin with a moisturiser during the winter because of the cold and dry weather the skin reacts and tends to be drier.
When you choose a moisturiser, always look at the ingredient list.
Look for a body butter that contains more nourishing oils like avocado oil, rosehip oil, macadamia and evening primrose oil.

Love, Paz
