5 Essential Tips To Keep Your Skin Glowing In Winter

Winter weather is harsh on every inch of your skin, especially the exposed parts of your face, hands and feet. Cold temperatures, low humidity, and dry air deplete the moisture needed for your skin. In addition, hot showers, long baths, and moderate heat also contribute to dry, itchy skin, and itching or eczema.

If you do not take enough care, your skin will dry out and you will feel stronger than usual. Therefore, you need to pay more attention to winter skincare than any other season. Below are some tips for winter skincare that will keep your skin smooth and soft.

Moisturize

Keeping your skin moisturized is a key rule of thumb for all winter skincare tips. In winter, your skin needs more water than ever before. Apply lotion immediately after bathing, washing hands or face. The longer you wait, the harder your skin will be.

Always keep a moisturizer close, and use it sparingly after each wash. Most importantly, massage your hands and feet with a deep wet lotion every night. The hands, elbows, and feet have very few oil glands and are often very dry. Wear socks and gloves to keep out moisture.

Use oil-based moisturizers

Remember to use an oil-based moisturizer during the winter months. Oil creates a better mark on your skin than water-based products. Choose a non-greasy ointment and night cream with shea butter, lavender, chamomile, primrose, avocado or almond oil. Creams containing sorbitol or glycerine are also included. Avoid petroleum-based products and harsh cleansers that contain salicylic or glycolic acid, as they tend to dry out your skin.

Your lips are also dry

It is also important to take care of your lips to prevent them from blowing and drying out. Apply a natural lip balm with natural oils such as grapeseed, coconut, and shea butter to repel moisture and keep your lips from cracking.

Apply sunscreen

We often think that sunscreen is only needed in the summer. However, winter sun accompanied by glitter can damage your skin. UV rays that cause sunburn will damage your exposed skin even on cloudy days. Apply sunscreen with a high degree of sun protection factor (SPF) for best results. Keep your face and hands protected from the sun and cold air by wearing a hat, scarf and gloves.

Turn on the humidifier

Medium temperatures may keep us warm and comfortable in winter, but the dry, hot air that blows through our homes and offices dries the skin. In fact, any heat, whether wood, oil, or electricity, will dry out the skin. Turn on the humidifier daily to add moisture to the air. Install small units in the house, especially in the room for best results.

Stay hydrated

Drinking plenty of water in the winter may sound unnatural. After all, taking a glass of water is not the first thing on a cold day. We all love our hot chocolate and winter lattes. However, these hot drinks can keep us warm, but like diuretics, they make us lose water. Try and drink plenty of water, even if it is not dry.

You can warm the water and add lemon juice to get a refreshing taste. Eating plenty of water and vegetables such as watermelon, oranges, tomatoes, and cucumbers will also help you stay hydrated. In addition, your skin needs vitamins and other nutrients from fresh vegetables to stay smooth and soft.

It is also essential to use natural skin care products that will moisturize your skin and keep it soft and smooth and prevent dryness which can lead to damage and aging of your skin.
