Question
Recently I moved to California. I am noticing that with windy and sunny weather my skin dries more. What do you recommend to keep my skin moisturized and youthful?

Answer
The dry skin is due to a Vata imbalance. It's probably related to the dry climate, heat and wind. It's important to create balance from inside out.
Dietary and Lifestyle Tips
- Give yourself an oil massage before you jump in the shower. Moisturizing or Relaxation massage oil would be good.
- When you're doing the massage, dip your finger tips in the oil. Also use more oil on the sole of your feet and palms of your hands.
- Avoid spicy, dry foods. Favor sweet, light and heavier foods to balance both Vata and Pitta (because of the hot climate).
- Eat lots of sweet, juicy fruits.
- A little Ghee in the diet is a must. Use it when cooking. Also cook with coridander, cumin and turmeric.
- Drink lots of room temperature water.
- Avoid or reduce direct exposure to the sun.
- Try to reduce the amount of stress in your life.
- Establish a regular daily routine. Go to bed as early as possible.
- Take the Youthful Skin herbal tablets.
- Treat your face to one of our herbal moisturizers.
If you follow some of these tips, your overall health will improve along with your skin.
