Welcome to the b4w natural skincare email newsletter. In this Issue Did You Know? It is usually during wintertime that we gain weight, and that we get flu. What can you do to ensure that you don’t gain weight this winter, while still providing your body with the necessary nutrients to keep your immune system in top form to ward of infections? Winter weight gain is mostly due to the fact that warm, ‘comfort’ foods are so much more attractive in colder weather. This winter, follow one of these sets of guidelines to either gain weight or to stay in shape. The choice is yours. Eat fish at least twice a week. Fish contains omega-3 fatty acids, which have a cholesterol-lowering effect. Fish generally also provides fewer calories than red meat: Eat 'complex' carbohydrates, like fruit, vegetables. The water and fibre content of fruit and vegetables gives one a sense of fullness, while providing a relatively small amount of calories. By substituting fatty foods with at least five portions of fruit and vegetables a day, you're guaranteed to maintain a healthy weight. Use baking, poaching, steaming or grilling as cooking methods - these require no added oil. If you have to use a drop of oil, rather use olive or canola than sunflower oil. These oils contain less saturated fat, making it a better option in terms of heart health. Eat a few marshmallows or a handful of dried fruit to satisfy your sweet tooth. Rather bake your own cookies and halve the amount of sugar. Drink tea or coffee, which contains fat-free milk and sweeteners, or drink low-fat hot chocolate. * * * * * * * * * * * Did You Know ? That pumpkin is full of vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants? And since pumpkin keeps for 6 months whole or for years in a can, it can be a year-round addition to our diets. You can tell by its bright color that it’s going to be good for you. Not only is pumpkin loaded with vitamin A and antioxidant carotenoids, particularly alpha and beta-carotenes, it’s a good source of vitamins C, K, and E, and lots of minerals, including magnesium, potassium, and iron. Half a cup of canned pumpkin has 6.5 grams of effective carbohydrate and 3.5 grams of fiber. The seeds are also worth latching on to. Pumpkin seeds, also called pepitas, are loaded with minerals, seem to have an anti-inflammatory effect, and may even help protect against prostate cancer and osteoporosis. A quarter cup has about 5 grams of effective carb and 1.5 grams of fiber. * * * * * * * * * * * Teen Skin Care You're moody. Your body is changing and acting weird. Your face is breaking out. Is it the end of the world? No! It's puberty Acne is by far the most common skin complaint among teenagers. You might think that a bad diet and stress are huge contributors to acne breakouts. Not true. Experts say ordinary day-to-day stress is not an important factor. And, while eating a balanced diet always makes sense, scientific studies haven't found a connection between a diet and acne. Even so, if avoiding chocolate, hot chips, or other food seems to keep your acne at bay, then doctors say it's a good idea to avoid them. healthy skin needs healthy skin care Cleanse your face gently a couple of times a day to remove excess surface oils and dead skin cells. Because acne is caused by oily buildup, not dirt, scrubbing won't help control blemishes and can actually irritate the skin and further inflame pimples. * * * * * * * * * * * Ever since our first pimple, we were told to not pick our face. But trying not to pick or pop a pimple is as effective as keeping a kid out of a candy store. When we see a blemish emerging, our first instinct is to get our index fingers ready for action.

The low humidity during winter can cause dry, irritated skin. Here are some tips to help skin feel more comfortable during winter or anytime the air is dry. Use a humidifier 
Eczema outbreaks can usually be avoided with some simple precautions. The following suggestions may help to reduce the severity and frequency of flare-ups:
rosehip oil - rrp $28.95 - www.b4w.com.au Rosehip Oil is loaded with essential fatty acids, which play a huge role in the regeneration of skin cells and repairing damaged tissues. It has wonderful therapeutic benefits for ageing and problem skin and can even be used to heal eczema, dermatitis and scars. It is important to know that rosehip oil is not an essential oil, so it can be applied directly to the skin with no irritations. 
One of the most important components of an eczema treatment routine is to prevent scratching. Because eczema is usually dry and itchy, the most common treatment is the application of lotions or creams to keep the skin as moist as possible. These treatments are generally most effective when applied directly after bathing (within three minutes is a common recommendation) so that the moisture from the bath is "locked in."
Calendula is used externally for its soothing, healing and protecting effects on the skin and thus can be used for eczema. When skin becomes red, itchy, and inflamed, medication is needed in addition to moisturizer.
