Cold, wind, and even indoor air can leave your skin dehydrated and flaky. Here are some TLC recommendations for your winter weary skin. Rescue your skin from extreme winter dryness by:
Switching from light lotion to heavier moisturizer. Cold weather, winds and spending much of the time in a home or office with dry heat blasting, all contribute to dry skin. That isn’t just on your face, but your entire body. Use creams which are typically more moisturizing as they do a much better job at protecting against temperature and humidity extremes.
Cleanse and exfoliate. Avoid harsh face washes and opt for a soft cream cleanser. Gently exfoliate the skin to help get rid of dry skin cells.
Take shorter shower as they can leave our skin crying out for moisture over the long-term. Opt for shorter more lukewarm baths and make sure to add oils, as they leaving your skin soft and supple. Pat your skin dry afterwards and remember- add a layer of moisturizer from head to toe!
Don’t forget your hands Pay extra attention to them and remember to moisturize them each time you wash your hands.
Drink at least 8 glasses of water. Remember to hydrate from inside. Your skin needs extra moisture during cold, dry months. Herbal teas are also a great warming way to keep hydrated when it’s cold outside.
Boost winter skin health with nutrition. A good diet with plenty of healthy fruit and vegetables will ensure maximum benefit from antioxidants which help to strengthen the skin.
