The Sustainable Spot

With the temperature dropping twenty degrees in just a matter of days, my skin feels so dry and tight I fear it might tear.  This combined with post-holiday dehydration and sleep deprivation and I am definitely feeling the need to be pampered.  After researching a bit on my favorite organic natural remedy sites, I found a few easy DIY recipes to the rescue.  And with just two ingredients and a two minute preparation, the Honey Citrus Mask rescued my skin and I feel ten times better already!

Here are three great DIY natural remedies to hydrate your holiday weathered skin just in time to look fresh for ringing in the New Year!
