STOP 🛑 Put down the coconut oil!

Are you suffering from chapped lips or itchy dry skin? These sometimes embarrassing annoyances are common symptoms of dehydration.

Colorado is beautiful and outdoor recreation is likely one reason you choose to live here. However, all of that time in the sun, wind and high altitude can really take a toll on your hair, skin and nails. If you’re like most Coloradans you suffer from some version of dry dehydrated skin, peeling nails or fly away hair. 

You need extra protection and replenishment, especially in the winter when temperatures plummet, the heat kicks on and humidity is almost non-existent. 

Your winter routine does not need to be complicated but it does need to make sense and be consistent. 

One of the easiest and most effective ways to increase the moisture, plumpness and vitality of your hair, skin and nails in the winter is to add oil. 🥑

STOP 🛑 Put down the coconut oil!

Despite what magazines and Pinterest have led you to believe, coconut oil is not a miracle cure for eczema, acne or improving your memory. And please do not use it instead of sunscreen! Sure it has anti-fungal and antibacterial properties but the fact is it’s highly comedogenic -- meaning it will clog your pores.  

There are so many better options that actually penetrate, hydrate, moisturize, repair and are non-comedogenic such as:
