Severe Winter Weather Preparation for Home Propane Users

As the Southeast prepares for more cold winter temperatures, Blossman Gas shares some important propane safety tips

How to Prepare Your Home for Severe Winter Weather

·         Schedule your tank and appliances for a maintenance check by your propane provider

·         Be sure there is an adequate supply of fuel in the tank. Federal regulations do not allow propane providers to fill your tank more than 80%. Your optimal tank level is between 25% and 80%. If your level is below 20%, please contact your service provider for a fill.

·         Keep the area around your propane tank and any vents, chimneys, flues free from ice and snow.

·         Be sure your propane generator is well-maintained, stored outdoors away from open windows and doors, and there is adequate supply of fuel in the tank; and be sure to use high-quality extension cords designed for outside use to connect your propane generator to your home.

·         NEVER store propane tank indoors.

·         Notify your propane provider immediately if you run out of propane as a qualified technician must check for leaks before turning the gas back on.

Sunscreen not just for summer: Why you should protect your skin in winter



The sun is out all year long which means we are exposed to the damaging rays of the sun all winter long, even during a polar vortex. Prevention of carcinomas and other skin damage occurs by limiting
exposure to sun and by protecting the skin from head to toe when you are
in the sun.

'Tis the season for chapped lips: top 7 tips for caring for winter lips - Nashville Skin, Health & Beauty Examiner

I have suffered from dry, burning, easily chapped lips most of my life. I have kept chapstick and petroleum jelly, Blistex and lip treatments on hand off and on my entire adult life but have never been able to conquer my chapped lip problems until the past two years.

The following article is based upon my own research and experience with chapped lips over the course of my lifetime and how I finally cured them to get healthy lips. I will reveal here, however, that the best thing I have found for my lips and what has restored them to fuller, healthier lips is this peptide and antioxidant-rich lip serum.

 'Tis the season for chapped lips: top 7 tips for caring for winter lips

The skin on lips is so thin, this area is highly sensitive and particularly vulnerable to showing signs of dryness and aging. Because of the drier, windier and colder conditions, winter can punish your lips, causing drying and chapping and sometimes painful cracking and peeling, also known as Cheilitis.

How to Help Your Lips This Fall & Winter

 

My lips before and 5 days after using the Lip Renewing Serum with roller

With cooler weather and autumn activities here, now is the time to get your lips in shape for colder, dryer fall and winter weather.

The Lip Renewing Serum dramatically changed my lips a bit over a year ago. From the time I was in college (maybe earlier), I have suffered with dry, flaking skin on my lips so that I rarely wore lipstick because it would cake around my dry... skin and make it worse. My lips would frequently sting and burn all year long, and chapstick, vaseline, lip gloss, etc. only seemed to aggravate them.

The Lip Renewing Serum rebuilds collagen, moisturizes, heals, soothes and plumps the lips while it rebuilds the vermilion border. On the rare days I didn't use it this summer, I still had no problems because my healthy lips are in such great shape now. I had the best winter of my life lip-wise last year with no rough, torn, burning chapped skin. I highly recommend this Lip Renewing Serum. It works faster and better when combined with the micro-needle skin roller, re-launching in January 2014.

Top 7 tips for healthy winter skin in the New Year

The New Year is upon us and that brings the coldest weather of the year to Nashville and other temperate climates. The days are shorter, the nights are longer and temperatures are dropping. Extreme low weather temperatures present special challenges to skin care and the need for added skin protection. Snow, ice, strong winds and the harsh winter climate can wreak havoc on the complexion, causing chapping, windburn, drying and flaking of the skin.

5 Winter Skin Care Tips for Sensitive Skin: Dry Skin Solved

With my hyper sensitive skin (L), I use these products myself

As fall fades away, winter rolls in and brings with it harsh conditions that can be damaging to skin, especially for those with sensitive skin and rosacea skin like mine. From low temperatures to snow, ice and strong winds, the winter climate can wreak havoc on the complexion, causing windburn, irritation and dryness.

To keep skin looking healthy throughout the winter (and the rest of the year) take a proactive approach to your skin care routine.

1. Use a moisturizing face wash: Be careful not to wash your face too frequently. Over-washing the skin can dry it out, making it prone to irritation. To combat this, use a moisturizing face wash when you cleanse in the morning and before bed at night, such as this Gentle Cream Wash. Packed with skin-loving botanical ingredients, Ceramides and added pro vitamins, this moisturizer cleanses and nourishes skin. The SOOTHE line offers is a complete range of facial skincare products perfect for even sensitive skin.

2. Be gentle: When washing your face, be gentle in your technique. Use lukewarm water and wash your face with your fingertips without scrubbing or using your nails. Gently pat your face dry with a soft towel to prevent removal of natural lipids from the skin.

3. Maintain humidity in your home: While moisture is essential for skin care products, it is also important for your exterior environment. Using a humidifier in the winter months will complement the products you use by adding additional moisture into the air to help keep your skin moisturized day and night. As an alternative, consider purchasing plants for your home. Keeping them watered means the plants will reciprocate the moisture into the air, creating a similar effect as a humidifier.

4. Use a long-lasting moisturizer: The use of quality products in your daily skin care regimen is beneficial to your skin, and it is important to purchase the right product for your skin type. Choose a moisturizer with pro-vitamins that nourishes and refreshes your skin. Find a daily moisturizer with ingredients like botanicals, protectants and carnitine. For sensitive skin, be sure to choose products that are hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic, such as this Moisture Replenishing Cream, which offers skin-loving ingredients to help hydrate and nourish. SOOTHE face care products are made without dyes, artificial perfumes or harsh irritants.

5. Practice clean eating: It’s true that what we eat is processed in our bodies to create new cells that make up our muscles, organs and tissues. And the same goes for skin. Be sure to include pro-vitamin rich foods like blueberries, strawberries, sweet potatoes, salmon, yogurt and nuts. Avoid too many sugars, including beverages, as sugars are damaging to the collagen of skin, which makes the skin tight and eliminates the visibility of wrinkles. Nourishing your body from within will benefit you more when you apply healthy, vitamin-rich products to your skin, so be sure eat right through the winter months.

With these skin-loving tips, getting through this winter season with healthy skin will be no problem for you! For more information,take the  “Skin Care Consultation” and learn tips for caring for sensitive skin and other skin types throughout the winter.
