Cold weather is not a fun moment for the skin. Low humidity and winter weather levels result in dry air, which steals softness and moisture away from the skin every moment of every day. Dry skin can lead to bleeding and cracking, and harsh cold wind makes the problem worse without immediate care. Winter skin needs extra skin care and pampering. Before your skin has a chance to feel the effects of dryness, cold and wind, bolster your skincare routine. We will guide you to exactly how to keep your skin happily soft and hydrated even in winter. Let’s have a look at some caring tips.
Wash in lukewarm water
Everyone wants a hot shower and bath to feel good in winter. But you should choose lukewarm water for washing your face and hands to avoid oil and stripping away from the skin. Lukewarm water can help to ensure that your facial cleanser removes enough dirt from the surface of your skin, gets the amount of foaming action and balances the natural skin oils appropriately. Your face needs the right temperature of water to keep your skin soft and glowing.
Choose moisturizer carefully
Some moisturizers have petroleum-based ingredients that can dry your skin in winter days. Be sure to pick a smart formula that has nourishing and natural ingredients. Choose oil-based products rather than water-based, as it helps to retain your skin moisture even in the cold days.
Moisturize immediately afterward
More moisture is not enough, your skin needs moisture right after the wash. Applying moisture just after wash helps seal dampness into the skin. Keep a moisturizer near the shower stall and use it immediately after washing. Your skin needs a cover-up just after washing.
Protect
Get used to wearing scarves and gloves to protect your skin from the cold rain, wind, and snow. Winter sun is more dangerous than summer sun, so protect your skin from the danger. Wear your scarves and gloves whenever you go out. Apply safe options on your skin like titanium dioxide or zinc oxide to any exposed areas of your body.
Drink more and more water
Your skin requires hydration from inside as well. Hot beverages can be go-to during winter but do not forget to drink enough water as well. Water is just not good for your skin even though it is also great for your overall health. You should drink 8-9 glasses of water daily to keep your skin glowing and hydrated.
Use DIY masks
Homemade masks can provide needed moisture in winter days. Use natural nourishing and moisturizing ingredients like avocado, honey, yogurt, jojoba oils, olive oils, bananas, almond oil, and aloe. Make a paste of the ingredients that suit more to your skin and apply it on your skin daily.
Avoid toxins, specifically irritants, and allergens
Particularly if you have dermatitis, psoriasis, or eczema, you have to ditch irritants and allergens that may trigger a flare-up. Winter skin is more fragile, so avoid chemical-laden detergents and irritating fabrics. Use moisturizers and cleansers that specially made for sensitive skin.
