Dry Skin? Reach for a Potato!

handsIf this winter’s crazy weather is leaving you with dry skin, reach for the potatoes.

Grate 1 or 2 small potatoes and soak them in olive oil for twenty minutes. Place the potato/oil mixture on your dry hands, and leave it on for at least 10 minutes. Then rinse your hands to clean them of the potatoes.

Need the potatoes for dinner?
Try drinking 2 tablespoons of pure almond ok that’s been mixed with a cup of warm milk. The calcium and vitamin E that you’ll absorb should help moisten the skin, and some believe it also helps keep coughs and colds at bay.

Don’t like milk? Drink lots of water and clear fluids. Even though the cold weather may not motivate you to drink cold water, water is key to maintaining good health both on the inside and out, all four seasons of the year.
