Why is my skin more dry over winter?

Winter dryness isn’t just about the cold—it’s the combination of
⭐ low humidity,
⭐ indoor heating, and
⭐ daily habits that strip moisture and weaken the skin barrier.

What I can do about it:
* Use correct moisturizer (for outdoor some with shea butter)
* Short, lukewarm showers instead of long hot ones.
* Humidifiers indoors to restore moisture to the air.
* Gentle cleansers instead of harsh soaps.

With the right skincare and environment tweaks, you can keep skin soft and healthy all season.

What face mask would you use to restore your barrier in winter?

Lots of love

Your scalp is a stress storage unit—hidden, tight, overloaded.
But give it one focused hour of massage
and your body responds like it just had a deep, restoring sleep.
Tension drops. Circulation wakes up.
You feel lighter, clearer, recharged.

Jaw pain? Let’s change that.

Here are 4 simple shifts that make a big difference

⭐ Stay hydrated: sounds simple, but dehydration makes muscles feel tight and cramps.

⭐ Stop oral habits: constant gum chewing, bite the lip, or chew on pen caps. Becoming aware of them is half the battle, retraining those habits is the other half.

⭐ No caffeine before food or water: are you reaching for coffee first thing in the morning. But caffeine on an empty stomach just amps up stress hormones and muscle tension.

⭐ Focus not only on massage, but also on strengthening: The jaw, neck and tongue muscles need strengthening to restore balance and stability. Few minutes per day in mewing tongue exercises would be great.

We give so much love to our face… but the neck is where tension lives.

💡 What’s the platysma?
A thin, sheet-like muscle that runs from your jawline down to your collarbone. It’s one of the main muscles responsible for neck movement and lower-face expressions.

💡 What about the other neck muscles?
Your neck is supported by a whole team — the sternocleidomastoid (SCM), scalenes, trapezius, and deeper postural muscles. When they’re tight, they pull on the jaw, shoulders, and even affect posture.

💆‍♀️ Why massaging them matters:
• Releases jaw, neck, and shoulder tension
• Boosts circulation for healthier, firmer-looking skin
• Softens horizontal neck lines (“tech neck”)
• Prevents tight muscles from dragging the jawline downward
• Supports better posture, which instantly lifts the neck + lower face

✨ A relaxed neck = a more sculpted jawline, smoother skin, and fewer tension headaches.

Hope your neck is feeling well today

Did you know that how you breathe can actually shape your face? 👀

When you breathe through your mouth (instead of your nose), it can cause:
😮‍💨 Weak jawline & receding chin
😬 Long, narrow face
🦷 Crooked teeth & bite problems
😴 Poor sleep & low energy

👉 Here’s why:
Mouth breathing changes tongue posture. Instead of resting on the roof of your mouth (which supports healthy jaw growth), your tongue drops down — letting the face grow longer and the jaw narrow.

Building tongue and oral muscles strength helps your tongue rest naturally against the roof of your mouth — guiding proper facial growth, supporting nasal breathing, and keeping your airway open while you sleep.

Always remember to put your glass down.

Find your own way to relax.
Sometimes it may be just a walk, sometimes dancing when no one’s watching, sometimes meeting people, or sometimes exercising.
Whatever it is, make sure to find that time — even just a few minutes each day.

With all the best

If so, you may be experiencing an overgrowth of Candida albicans (yeast). This can sometimes occur after taking antibiotics, even several years ago.
Candida overgrowth may contribute to symptoms such as fatigue, difficulty getting out of bed, low concentration or memory issues, and a white coating on the tongue.

Your doctor can order a blood test to check for candida.

If you suspect candida overgrowth, you may benefit from temporarily avoiding certain foods for about three months, including:

* Yeast-based foods (bread, cakes, cookies)

* Beer

* Cheese and mushrooms

* Watermelon

* Wine, vinegar, and fermented products (such as some salad dressings)

* Sugar

This isn’t a diet you can “cheat” on—sticking to it 100% for three months is important to see results. Many people notice a big difference when they remove these foods and allow their body to rebalance naturally.

For more information, you can look up Nerida Joy and her discussions on yeast and skin health.

Do you feel you might have too much yeast in your body?

Intraoral massage/Buccal massage effectively relieves tension in the jaw, face, and neck by accessing and working on deep, hard-to-reach muscles.

Increases circulation, which supports tissue healing and overall relaxation. It also offers cosmetic advantages by improving skin tone, elasticity, and reducing the appearance of wrinkles.

✨ When tension has been building up for a long time and you finally come in for a massage… how long will the relief last?

After a few massage sessions combined with simple home care, you’ll start to feel years of built-up pressure melt away. The results become longer-lasting, and over time, your sessions can be spaced further apart — because your body learns to stay relaxed. 💆‍♀️

The truth is — consistency matters more than duration. Even just 5 minutes of self-care a day can make a huge difference. 🌿

Take care of yourself between sessions. It's so important for lasting results.

🧐 Do you know there's a correct way to rest your tongue?

Proper tongue posture means your tongue sits flat against the roof of your mouth—touching three key points on the soft palate. It’s essential for healthy jaw development, especially in children.

👅 Your tongue acts like natural braces!
When it presses gently against the palate, it helps expand the upper jaw and creates space for teeth to align properly.

🚫 Low tongue posture (resting at the bottom of the mouth) can lead to:
- Crowded teeth
- Mouth breathing
- Malocclusion (misaligned bite)
Over time, poor oral posture may contribute to:
- Snoring & sleep apnea
- Teeth grinding & clenching
- TMJ dysfunction
- Neck pain & headaches
- Improper swallowing

✨ Where your tongue naturally rests?
Is it on your palate—or at the bottom of your mouth?

If it’s not in the ideal position:
* Face and buccal massage can help release tension and ease pain in the jaw and surrounding muscles.
* Myofunctional tongue exercises retrain your tongue’s posture, supporting better alignment, breathing, and overall oral health.
