1. Drink More Water

Staying well hydrated is one of those natural beauty tips that’s true all year long, but especially during winter weather. Drinking as much water as possible (hot tea counts) will refresh your body and your skin, keeping you bright throughout the season.
2. Reduce Caffeine and Alcohol

Caffeine, if not consumed moderately, can cause dehydration. Alcohol has a similar effect. A few days a week, switch your morning coffee to a fruit or vegetable juice and minimize alcohol consumption. Be sure to drink water between alcoholic beverages as well.
3. Take a Chlorella Supplement

Chlorella is an exception to taking supplements for this natural beauty hack. Chlorella is a freshwater, green microalga. It contains the full spectrum of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes, antioxidants, and phytonutrients, as well as protein, fiber, and essential fatty acids. It also contains the nucleic acids RNA and DNA, which improve cellular function and body rejuvenation. Cellular turnover is especially important in winter weather so that your skin stays looking young, nourished, and free of rashes or dryness.
4. Eat With Purpose

It’s tempting to indulge in warm, heavy comfort food on the regular during cold winter weather. However, there are ways to get the warmth and bulk without the excess calories and less-than-perfect ingredients. Omega-3s in fish help to build collagen, vitamin E in green leafy vegetables and avocados defends cells and boosts immunity, and vitamin C in citrus fruits prevents wrinkles and heals scar tissue.
5. Get a New ‘Do

Before the start of winter, get a fresh look. Cut off split ends, add color, and exit the salon with glorious tresses. The winter offers dry air, bouts of snowfall, and rain, so it’s important to enter the winter season with rejuvenated hair to battle the elements. Make your own shampoo and conditioner to avoid dangerous chemicals.
6. Exfoliate

Dry, cold weather can cause the skin to become flaky and coarse. During winter weather, exfoliating scrubs help to remove dead skin cells and reveal soft, glowing skin underneath. Don’t waste your time or money on store-bought versions when you can make your own. Try this baking soda exfoliating scrub for both your face and body.
7. Moisturize

The key to keeping your skin durable during the winter months is by using a moisturizer that keeps your cells hydrated and protected from the elements. You don’t need to spend the big bucks on an elite brand when the most potent and effective moisturizers are those that you make yourself. Try your hand at a homemade skin moisturizer for face and body.
8. Nail It

When discussing natural beauty tips, it’s essential not to overlook the importance of nails. Fingernails take quite the beating, especially if you use nail polish regularly. Refrain from pushing your cuticle back – it helps protect against bacteria. Additionally, consider an eco-friendly nail polish like Karma Organic, which contains no toluene, formaldehyde, or DBP and is safe for pregnant women, children, cancer patients, and individuals with allergies. Their polish and polish remover also support American farmers.
