When we think of winter, images of chilling weather, warm clothes, and comfortable quilt, instantly springs up in our minds. But it does mean more. It’s a time to think of your skin too. We all know how our skin gets affected in winter. The cold weather makes the skin dry and then arises many skin problems. Hence it is necessary that you follow a proper skin care program.
You might be confused where to start from and what to start with. Here follows some tips for winter skin care.
First and foremost, keep yourself well hydrated. Winter is all about cool temperature that instantly makes the skin dry. It is therefore necessary that you drink plenty of water. Carry a bottle wherever you go.
Take a hot water bath. It stimulates the flow of blood through the body. After bathing, apply some baby oil on your body. Alternatively, you can take bath using plain water. Add some jojoba, coconut or almond oil into the water.
Exfoliating the skin twice a week is essential to get rid of dry skin in winter. Exfoliation will allow the skin to absorb moisture.
Moisturizing your skin is an essential treat for the skin to fight off dry skin. Choose a moisturizer that provides at least SPF30 protection. Avocado oil, milk, and honey are great natural moisturizers. For dry lips treatment use oil-based moisturizer cream or lip balm. Alternatively, you can apply Vaseline to the chapped lips frequently.
Eat healthy foods such as fish and walnuts that are rich in omega 3 fatty acids. It helps to fight inflammation of the skin and prevents cell membrane from damage. Also include foods that are rich in protein, vitamin A, B1, and B2. These vitamins are known to make the skin healthy.
Wear gloves even when you are at home. Exposure to cold temperature will make the skin dry.
Apply an avocado facial mask once a week to get rid of dryness. Mash the avocado and add a little olive oil. Apply this mixture on the face. It will instantly turn the skin smooth.
