Protect Your Skin From Winter Dryness with Gluten-Free Love and Care
As temperatures drop, so does environmental humidity and you skin's moisture level. In order to keep your skin healthy and nourished this winter, we've sought out some of the most important gluten-free tips to keeping your skin hydrated.
Here are our gluten-free guides to caring for your skin this winter:

Hydrate: It's easy to get dehydrated while you're busy with Holiday travel, shopping and preparations, so be sure you bring a bottle of water with you. We love these stylish Klean Kanteen stainless water bottles, because they are attractive, easy to clean, perfectly totable and non-disposable. Did you know that a plastic water bottle that is tossed in the trash may take hundreds to thousands of years to decompose.
Nourish and Supplement: Gluten-free diets can limit Vitamin E intake if you're not properly supplementing your with healthy gluten-free grain alternatives. And this valuable nutrient is essential to preventing free-radical damage to skin cells. You may also want to increase your intake of Vitamins A and C, which help fight wrinkles and maintain collagen production respectively. We love Carlson Vitamins ACES A, C, E with Selenium and they're gluten-free!
Cleanse with Care: As the weather dries out, and so does your skin, you may want to consider switching to a more gentle and nourishing soap. We love Amelia's handmade soaps for hands or body which are gluten-free, moisturizing and truly scent-ilating! Try using this with a gentle wash cloth for all over skin softening and exfoliating.
Give Your Skin an Extra Moisture Boost: In the cold, dry winter months, there's nothing like a rich, buttery application of body cream just after showering. Pure Fiji's body butters are gluten-free, and with scents like white gingerlilly, mango, vanilla mint, starfruit and passionflower, friends and family will not stop sniffing you!
