Handy tips for staying beautiful in cold weather

Here are a few tips that can help keep your skin feeling and looking good in cold weather countries by Lape Soetan True Love May 2008

a)      It may be tempting to use the harshest cleansers you can find if you suddenly break out in pimples, but such cleansers can actually make the problem worse. Generally, if your skin feels tight or starts peeling, you’re using the wrong beauty products and should switch to something gentle.

b)      The cold winds can really dry skin, so use gentle moisturizers on your face. Even if you have oily skin you can try oil-free moisturizers which should moisturize without making the face look like an oil slick.

c)      Use a lip balm as often as possible, and switch to creamy lipstick or use your favorite lip balm under lipstick to protect the lips and keep then soft. Don’t lick or bite your lips unless you don’t mind going around with painful red lips.

d)     If you were using a light lotion for your body, switch to a rich cream or body butter, as these are more likely to keep dry skin at bay in cold weather.

e)      When it comes to hair removal, consider switching to depilatory creams, as shaving in cold weather can leave the skin looking flaky and feeling itchy.

f)       Scaly looking skin is common in cold weather, but exfoliation lifts dead skin cells and reveals smoother looking skin-so use a scratchy sponge when you bath, or try body bushes and body scrubs.

g)      Carry tubes of hand cream around with you so you can tackle dry skin as soon as you notice any pesky patches of dry skin.

Keep your feet warm with fashion shoes...Ugg Boots

Going with my Cold Weather attires. These types of shoes have been spotten on women's feet though I think most women have a different name while some do not know what they are called all together, they are called Ugg boots. Warm and lovely to wear on these cold days. 

The Ugg boots can be bought from most shops in town and if you want to buy online you can go to Zappos store an online store where there are currently about 50,000 varieties of shoes sold.

Ugg boots (sometimes called Uggs) are known in Australia and New Zealand as a unisex style of sheepskin boot made of twin-faced sheepskin with fleece on the inside and with a tanned outer surface, often with a synthetic sole. The boots originated in those countries, initially as utilitarian footwear worn for warmth and comfort and later adopted by surfers there during the 1960s. In the 1970s, the boots were introduced to the surf culture of the United Kingdom and the United States by local surfers returning from surfing competitions in Australian. Ugg boots emerged as a fashion trend in the United States in the late 1990s and as a world-wide trend in the late 2000s, yet they failed to gain popularity in Australia where they are worn predominantly as slippers and associated with "daggy" fashion sense, and bogan culture.

The boots come in different colors, designs, material they are made with and even style. 

Wear your Ugg boots with skinny jeans and tuck it in, plus they go really well with tights and a mini skirt jeans or shorts. Pair with a cute top and accessorise as you fancy.

Ugg boots are not only for the cold weather but also for some moderate weather where you can put them on with a short skirt, shorts or a lovely dress.They are super comfortable and look great as well. Both men, women and children can wear Ugg boots.
