Cracking of skin, rough dry patches, all these indicate that it’s time to welcome the winters. Winters are not very friendly on our skins. It’s very important to take care of our skin during winters, since the dryness caused by winter harsh wind can cause prolong skin problems.
• Water
The most important part of winter skin-care is keeping the whole body hydrated. Drink approximately 12 glasses or more of water daily. Limit the amount of caffeine and alcohol you intake; these act as diuretics releasing fluid from the body.
• Exfoliate …
A good body scrub and facial exfoliator can help eliminate dead skin cells from your body. Add this to your purification routine once a week. Not only will you feel fresh but your skin will be free from all that old dry cells. Now you’re ready to moisturise!
• Oil based moisturizer …
This will help protect your skin from moisture loss. Choose one that comes in an ointment form as it will contain 80% oil. Creams and lotions may tend to dry out the skin rather than keep it moisturized and soft.
• Non friendly sun…
Just because summers are over doesn’t mean you don’t need a sun block for your skin. Remember sun rays are harsher during winters. Before you leave your house, apply a sunscreen with at least an SPF of 15 or more. This will protect your skin from the elements. Alternatively, choose a product that combines a sunscreen with moisturiser.
• Glove love…
It’s simple but it works! Why expose your hands to the cold. Choose a good quality pair that does not irritate the skin. If you’re allergic to wool, wear a cotton mitten underneath. It will help keep your hands dry and warm.
• Feel royal... give yourself an oil bath
Now how does a jojoba oil or sweet almond bath sound to you? Relaxing isn’t it! You don’t have to keep these for holidays. Nourish you skin by adding a few drops of these oils into your every day bath. It will do wonders for your skin.
• No blow dry …
I know it’s sad, but use of blow dry would make your hair drier. The blow drier is not your friend in winter. Try the tousled look or the wavy style this winter. Hot air dries out your scalp and can irritate your skin as well. So give the blow drier a miss this cold season.
