Enjoy your Winters with Good Skin Care
What comes to mind when you think about winter? Chapped and dehydrated skin and cracked lips. Do not fight winters or curse yourself for all the outdoor activities during those months. The best way is to take care of your skin and enjoy the winter to the max with a glowing and healthy skin.
Always keep your skin hydrated by drinking plenty of water and eating lot of fruits and vegetables. You can massage your body with oil before going for a shower. Avoid colas, coffee, tea and alcohol as much as possible during winter. Consuming these drinks can make your body lose water more easily, resulting in dry and chapped skin. Try putting a humidifier or a bowl of water in your home as this will prevent the dryness in the air through raising the moisture level.
You should avoid using soap as much possible. Instead use moisturizing cleansers for soft and supple skin. Try to use oil based moisturizers with 80% oil and 20% water consistency, particularly in the ointment form regularly. Something like the Clinique Moisture Surge Extra Thirsty Skin Relief lotion would be recommendable. These ointments help in forming a protective covering on your skin.
Take all the necessary precautions while going out. Cover all your visible parts with a thick coating of a moisturizing sunscreen. Use gloves to cover your hands so that the hands do not lose the necessary oils because of dry and chilling air. Exfoliate your dry skin atleast twice a week regularly during winters to remove all the dead cells and open the skin pores to absorb the moisture.
