The Benefits Of Massage in The Winter Months

Aches and pains, dry, flaky skin, bad circulation and depression are just some of the side-effects of the magical winter months. Getting a massage can thoroughly invigorate the body and the senses if done right and do much to alleviate the side effects of winter. Massage can also provide some of the many benefits that exercising provides. It’s a great way to compensate for the lack of physical exertion for those whose exercise regimes have been left short due to the cold weather.

Here are a few key reasons to get a massage this winter:

Immunity booster

The lymphatic system of the body containing the body’s defensive white blood cells is stimulated and energized by a massage. These are the same lymphocytes that fight off infections and bacteria and are essentially the cornerstones of your immune system. Boosting your immune system by getting massages regularly during the cold season is especially beneficial during the winter months when one is even more prone to catching cold and flu than ever!

Keep it flowing

Your body isn’t as limber as it is during the summer months due to the drop in temperature during the winter. You’re most likely more prone to having an achy body and experience more pain in areas where you experience pain even in other seasons. A massage will help to rev up your blood circulation and combat pain in your muscles and joints. It is greatly beneficial in helping relieve stress and pain by increasing the body’s blood flow which in turn also regulates body temperature and the flow of oxygen through the entire body. Treating yourself to a massage will help you prevent muscle contraction, transmit nutrients and will keep you energized.

Bye bye flaky, dry skin

Keeping skin from getting dry is important to keep it protected and help it function correctly as an effective defensive barrier against damage to your body’s interior. Cracked, ruptured, dry and flaky skin can allow bacteria and viruses such as influenza to enter the body more easily and thrive in the dry environment. Additionally, many vitamins and minerals are transmitted to the body through the skin through trans-dermal therapy for which it is also important to keep the skin healthy and moisturizing and provide topical nutrition. Conatural’s Organic Oils are jam packed with nourishing organic carrier and essential oils that provide topical nutrition and moisture to the skin but also provide healing and nourishment deep down in to the mind and body. Use just a few tablespoons of our Organic Massage Oil for your massage to feel hydrated, relaxed and refreshed.

Don’t worry, be happy

It’s more common than we know for people to feel a little depressed during the winter months. Hormones like serotonin and endorphins relieve stress and are able to affect mood, desire, depression, alertness, sleep, hunger and more. Getting massage releases these hormones and starts you on the way to a happier, healthier self.

Why Should You Use a Face Mask?

Face masks are a key component of any skincare routine. Whether you're struggling with dullness, pigmentation, breakouts, or an uneven skin tone, there's a mask that can treat your problem. Here are some reasons to use face masks in your weekly routine:

Face masks can deeply cleanse your pores
They can hydrate, brighten, or detox your skin based on the product ingredients
They improve skin texture and leave your skin with a healthy glow
They can give your skin a refreshing boost before an occasion and/or after a long day

The key is to choose the right beauty mask for your skin type and your current skin needs.

There is a mask for every skin type; you just need to choose the right one based on your skin type and current skin concerns. So, before selecting a face mask, ask yourself the following question:

Is your skin dry, oily, combination, or sensitive?

Once you’ve identified your skin type and concern, it’s easier to find the best face mask that can provide real results.

What to Look for in a Face Mask?

Natural face masks with clean, non-toxic ingredients can do wonders for your skin! Here are some ingredients to look out for:

Clay: Deep cleanses and removes oil
Licorice root: Brightens and soothes
Turmeric: Reduces acne and adds glow
Fruit enzymes: Gently exfoliate and renew skin
Vitamin C: Boosts radiance and fights dark spots

Don’t settle for less. Harmful chemicals and toxic skin care products have been shown in studies to damage skin, so make sure you're using a clean product. Conatural’s face masks are made with all of these plant-based ingredients to give your skin the love it needs, with no nasty chemicals, parabens, or synthetic fragrances.

FAQs

Can I use more than one mask in a week?

Absolutely! By using different masks on different areas of your face, you can address different skin concerns. This is referred to as multi-masking. For example, you might apply the Instant Glow Face Mask to the dull areas and the White Face Brightening Mask to the pigmented areas.

How long should I leave a face mask on?

Always follow the directions on the product's label. Generally, 10-20 minutes is ideal. If you're still wearing it after this amount of time, you may be doing more harm than good, especially if it contains active ingredients, which can irritate your skin.

How often should I apply a face mask?

Once or twice a week is typically enough. If you have sensitive skin, try applying it once a week, gradually increasing the frequency if tolerated.
