Our skin is more adaptive to summer than winters. Winter can take a toll on our skin due to lack of oil glands on certain parts of our body which causes them to become dry and itchy. To keep the skin radiant and beautiful during winter, here are a few tips on skincare during winter. With winter now approaching these tips will help you to prepare your skin and show it off when spring and summer finally roll out.
Drink Plenty of Water
- Provide your skin the extra hydration. Carry a bottle with you when you go out.
- Tea is also a great option during the colder months.
- A nice body scrub can help remove the dead skin from your body, adding this to your routine once a week, will not only make you feel fresh, but your skin will be free from the dirt and grime that you accumulate on a daily basis that does not come off until you exfoliate.
- Don’t forget to moisturize after exfoliating.
- An excellent option is to add moisture back to the air.
- A humidifying system can help your skin to hydrate instead of becoming dry and cracked.
- Humidifiers are available at your local drug store.
- Choose a moisturizer that comes in an ointment form as it contains 80% oil.
- Creams and lotions may dry out the skin instead of keeping it moisturized and soft.
- Just because the summer is over doesn’t mean that you stop using sunscreen. Before you leave the house, apply a sunscreen of at least SPF 15.
- You can choose a product that combines a sunscreen with a moisturizer. This will protect you from the elements.
- Why expose your hands to the cold only to have the moisture sucked out.
- Choose a good quality pair that does not irritate the skin and will help to keep your hands dry and warm.
- Although Flax-seed oil does not taste great, but it will help you moisturize your body from the inside.
- Because it is rich in vital fatty acids, it can do wonders for your overall health. Flaxseed oil is available in oil form as well as in capsule form.
- A good jojoba and almond oil bath will help to relax your body.
- Nourish your skin by adding a few drops of these oils to your everyday bath water and watch your skin glow with a renewed radiance.
- Sadly the hair dryer is not your friend during winter as the hot air dries out your scalp and can irritate your skin as well.
- Try to go for a tousled look or the wavy style this winter, but do give your blow dryer a much needed brake this winter.
- Lips have no oil glands, so we are tempted to lick our lips during winter which should be avoided at all costs.
- Keep a lip balm with you and apply it when you are tempted.
- You can also apply olive oil to your lips when you are at home to keep the lips moist.
