I opted for natural solutions: plants, vitamins, minerals and essential oils.
So speaks Céline Audidier who created the site Ma P’Tite Tambouille, for do-it-yourself cosmetics.
In the form of juice or drops:
- echinacea,
- ginseng (which we no longer present),
- vitamin C, acerola is quite indicated.
Internal solutions to be taken in the form of herbal teas or tablets and always after talking to your pharmacist. For minerals:
- it will be food supplements, in the form of capsules, or tablets,
- think of marine magnesium.
For essential oils, you can use:
- the ravintsara of which you will drop a few drops (diluted as always for essential oils in a drop of vegetable oil) in the palm of the wrist or on a handkerchief. You will then inhale these scents several times during the day.
- True lavender, thyme, cinnamon.
So much for internally and now externally so that our skin is prepared for the rigors of the cold:
- think of vegetable oils, like borage oil or apricot kernel oil. Both are fluid and low in fat.
- There is also macadamia oil,
- Celine’s favorite is shea butter q
which deeply moisturizes the hands and feet, dried out by the cold.
