How to Get Glowing Skin in Spite of Winter Dryness

Everyone wants that fresh and dewy look and why not? It keeps you looking youthful and full of life and most people love that; even men! But winter can be harsh with all false heating and cold winter wind that dries you up and spits you out! Never you fear though, we at Eurospa specialize in bettering your health and getting your skin to glow with vibrance.

Get glowing skin in spite of winter dryness with these simple tips:

Drink plenty of water:

It’s not easy because you’re cold! Well, that’s simple. Heat it up! You can easily make some hot or warm water and add a splash of lemon or some mint leaves to create some instant flavor. Without being hydrated on the inside, your skin will inevitably stay parched.

Moisturize:

Use a quality, paraben free moisturizer, even in you’ve got oily skin. Moisturizers help to balance the oil production while quenching your skin’s intense thirst!

Exfoliate:

It doesn’t cost a lot for this one. Just sprinkle a little baking soda into your daily cleanser about twice a week to add a little buff and shine to your skin. Baking soda not only sloughs off the dead skin, but also helps neutralize your skin’s sensitive ph naturally and affordably!

Steam:

Open up your pores and both cleanse and nourish them in the steam of your shower for totally hydration and renewal. Add only the best eucalyptus oil shower spray, to the steam and your shower will turn into a total spa experience. You won’t believe the glow you’ll get from just this one tip! Eucalyptus cleanses the skin but also increases circulation, bringing more blood to the flush of your cheeks and more oxygen to each thirsty cell! 

Dry skin is a real winter bummer, but you can beat it! We at Eurospa believe you deserve only the best of the best, which is what we provide you with! Please contact us today with any questions or orders!

Easy Tips to Hydrate Dry Hair Naturally at Home!

Everyone wants healthy flowing hair that shines with a strength like no other. And while we’d like to remind you that those inspirational magazine photos are unrealistically touched up, we do want to leave you with some tried and true tips that will condition and strengthen your dried out and brittle locks….all naturally done at home, of course!

Avocado

Mash a ripe avocado (pit removed) with one egg, then apply this home remedy to wet hair. Avocados are rich in vitamins, essential fatty acids, and minerals that will help restore luster to your hair, says Stephen Sanna, expert colorist at the Pierre Michel Salon in New York City. Leave on for at least 20 minutes, then rinse several times. Repeat once a week for damaged hair and once a month for healthy hair.

Buttered up.

You can treat dry, brittle hair with a small amount of butter for a glossy shine! Massage it into your dry hair, then cover your hair with a shower cap for about a half hour. Shampoo as usual, and rinse all the butter out.

Stay Hydrated.

Drinking enough water each day helps the body to process and flush out toxins faster, which makes it a quick and easy natural method that will make your hair grow a lot faster. If you drink about 8 cups of water a day, not only will your body feel better, but your hair will get stronger. The stronger the hair, the faster that it grows. Drinking water also keeps your hair hydrated from the inside out. Hydrated hair is happy hair because, when dry, your hair is much more likely to break.

Comb or wait.

Never brush your hair when it’s wet. It’s more likely to break. Use a wide tooth come after applying a detangler and hair protection spray. Brush each night to keep the hair smooth and tangle free; further avoiding breakage while sleeping.

Protect from heat!

It's old news, but heat is damaging to your hair! Try to stay away from blow dryers and heated tools, as they burn the hair. If you MUST use them, be sure to use a heat protecting spray or cream first, before styling. Keep in mind that the sun damages hair as well. In warmer weather, or intense sunlight (even in the snow) keep a hat on to protect your hair from over drying and burning.

Wrap it dry.

Instead of rubbing your hair after you get it wet, wrap up your damaged hair in a cotton towel, and let the cotton absorb the moisture for a few minutes. This helps protect against further split ends.

Good foods.

Did you know that what you eat actually makes a difference in how fast your hair grows? If you eat a lot of good fats and protein-rich foods, you will see a huge difference in the quality of your hair, as well as the speed with which it grows. Things like organic butter, coconut oil, avocado, flax oil, fish, eggs, fresh fruits and vegetables, and even different meats all make a difference, so cut down on junk food and focus on heal meals.

Eucalyptus.

Get into a sauna, steam room or even your shower, one to two times a week and spray eucalyptus oil shower spray near your head, about arms length away; never onto the head directly. The circulation promoting plant oils will penetrate through your open pores, waking up the follicles. Add to this a gentle scalp massage and you'll have one happy head! You can also make a topical essential oil blend. I suggest mixing three drops of lavender oil, three drops of rosemary oil, and two drops each of thyme oil and cedarwood oil, along with some jojoba oil. 

Don’t be discouraged by your dry brittle hair. Trim what you are willing to part with and then do your best to nourish it naturally! At Eurospa, we love providing you with the natural tips you need to feel healthy, look healthy and live well. Please visit our site to learn more about our eucalyptus and mint products today!

Sugar Overdose? Be Prepared With These Natural Home Remedies!

With summer holidays and celebrations abounding, an overdose of sugar is almost inevitable.  But who'd really going to be able to resist the temptation of baked goodies and frozen treats?  We don't want you to feel restricted.  So, since we can assume there may be some random cases of sugar overdose, make sure to be prepared with these natural home remedies! 



WATER UP
I can't say it enough.  Any ache, pain, ailment.....  always reach for water first! You need to stay hydrated in general but when we are adding summer heat and sugar to the equation, you're only going to exacerbate it!  If you are drinking alcohol or coffee as well, you will be adding to additional dehydration.  So, stay sober and healthy or add tons of water to the mix to both flush toxins and keep the body hydrated. 

JUST ADD HEAT 
You'd be surprised how much this helps.  Now, if you're nauseous or if you are already hot outside, this can make it worse, so check your symptoms. But if you're indoors or cool enough, I've found this can really help calm the spasms and relax the ache.  Grab a hot water bottle or heating pad and apply to the ache.  Or jump in with two feet and immerse yourself in a hot bath or sauna.  I prefer this method, as you also sweat some of the impurities and toxins that may be contributing to the symptoms. 

TWIST IT: 
Just like wringing out a wet towel of it's moisture, twisting your body can aid in releasing toxins stored in your intestines or stomach lining.  It's very simple.  You just sit down on the floor with your back straight up and your legs outstretched, together in front of you.  Now, bend and pull your left leg up and place your foot on the floor, with your knee standing up and your foot touching your inner right thigh.  Now take a deep breath, and as you exhale, slowly turn your body to the left as far as you can go, exhaling all the air out.  Then, as you twist back to center, inhale gently.  Switch legs and repeat this process on the other side.  Keep doing this if you can for 3-5 repetitions and then lay flat on your back and relax.  Your belly will thank you. 

ESSENTIAL OILS: 
There are a few ways to ease your stomach ache with essential oils.  One, is to place a couple drops of peppermint oil or tincture into your glass of water. (It's important to remember that you should aim to stay hydrated during this time anyway.  While that may not sound appealing, the peppermint will help ease that distaste.) Next, it's good to have a bottle of Eucalyptus Oil Shower Mist on hand anyway, for many reasons!  One being that you can add it to the steam of the above suggested bath for internal relaxation and refreshment; great for internal spasms! Another use being that you can grab a little caster oil, mixed with a little coconut oil and rub that gently on your abdomen.  Then spray the eucalyptus onto your belly and rub in a clockwise motion.  The oils will carry the anti microbial and anti-spasmatic power of the eucalyptus into your body and allow them to work their healing magic.  

Nobody wants sugar to put a damper on their summer fun, but if you end up with the aches and pains, it's comforting to know that there are options out there that are natural and efficient in bringing healing and relief. 

At Eurospa, helping you achieve health naturally is our priority.  We are proud to provide you with the highest quality products to deliver that health.  Please stop by and let us know how we can further the health of your life or business, today!
