TIPS FOR DRY WINTER SKIN

By chemistsworld On 07 Nov 2017

Winter is harsh on your delicate skin as it brings dryness, dead skins and dullness, which are part of it. Skincare is of the utmost importance and the best defense is prevention and care. It is essential to stay moisturized and warm in the winter. However, along with cosmetics, it is important to invest in proper skin care for winter. Here given below are some of the tips you need to follow for skin care:

Increase the intake of Water As the cold weather sets in, we just stop or reduce the amount of water intake. Water is the hidden product in any grooming guide and by keeping ourselves hydrated would provide our skin with the essential moisture needed to look healthy and happy this winter.

Exfoliate your skin well Exfoliating is a fundamental key to replenish the skin. Between the cold air outside and dry air indoors, your skin cells dehydrate faster in winter. Therefore, to prevent this always exfoliate your dry flaky skin to make it soft and supple. Doing this twice a week would benefit.

Always keep your skin moisturized Always keep your skin moisturized by using cold creams, as in cold our skin in winter begins to dry, peel and even crack. Look for a moisturizer that works for your skin type to keep you looking fresh-faced and youthful.

Super foods Increase the amount of food rich in nutrients that will keep your skin glowing and beautiful. Consume avocado, rose hips, coconut, turmeric, goji, cacoa, flax seeds, red algae, and green tea. Whatever you eat affects your skin; therefore choose your food carefully. Food that is rich in antioxidants, polyphenols, vitamins, and minerals should be on your grocery list.

Cool your jets In winters those steamy shower with hot water and cleanser could wash away your skin's natural oils and make your skin look dry and non-moisturized. So avoid, taking hot shower bath, instead go for lukewarm water to retain the moisture in the skin.

Look after your lips To deal with dry, irritating and cracked lips. Use lip balm that contains SPF to make it soft and supple. While there is not one cure-all to avoid dry, flaky and rough skin, still following these simple steps would help to minimize the impact of winter weather on your skin and would keep it healthy all year long.
