There's lots of humidity available in hot yoga and that helps your winter skin stay moist. But how about after you leave class? Are you just out in the cold when it comes to soft winter skin?
Not really. These four strategies can help…
- Hydrate your entire system with lots of water and high anti-oxidant green tea. During winter there’s a tendency not to drink as much due to cool temperatures. You may want to bring your hot yoga water to room temperature to encourage drinking more. Or enjoy more warm green tea after hot yoga, like the Royal Matcha Green Tea sold elsewhere on this website.
- Eat a healthy diet of mostly raw foods, foods high in omega-3 fatty acids which produce a hydrating effect from the inside out, and antioxidants which help fight signs of aging. Winter might be a good time to increase your intake of Krill oil also, for its omega-3s -- and antioxidants such as Purple Defense and Turmeric.
- Take a revitalizing bath – in warm water, not hot! Himalayan salt baths are rejuvenating, and help dry skin to slough off. Hot water is damaging to your skin, so stick with warm water.
- Moisturize daily with non-clogging organic moisturizers such as coconut oil or body butter. Try our Hannesdottir Icelandic Seaweed masques and elixirs for amazing results. All these product nourish your skin instead of clogging it, as many toxin-filled skin products do.
- Coconuts on the inside hydrate beautifully too - try our own favorite brand of Amy&Brians Coconut Juice before or after a hot yoga class.
It’s especially important to cleanse and moisturize before you go to bed at night, to remove impurities from your skin before your revitalizing sleep time. Just be sure your moisturizer isn’t tainted with toxins!
