Best Winter Skin Care Tips to Keep Skin Soft:
You can follow these simple skin care tips to prevent, soothe, and deal with dry skin. This helps you to get great lightening skin even during winter.
Sunscreen Protection:
The winter sun can be quite unkind on your skin, so use a full protection sunscreen for outings in the sun even on cold and cloudy days. Don’t forget to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (not less than SPF 30) to all exposed areas of your body in the harsh winter weather as it is in the summer.
It is always better to opt for a safe option like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide about 15 minutes before going outside. You can wear gloves and scarves to protect the skin from cold winds.
Hydrate Yourself:
Drink water as much as possible. In hot weather conditions, we don’t face any problem but whereas in winter you don’t feel thirsty thus consume less water. In reality, you should drink more water in winter.
Similarly, it is better to avoid alcohol, caffeine, and coffee as these are diuretics that results in dehydration.
Use Humidifier:
As the weather doesn’t have proper moisture so it is better to set proper moisture levels in the dry winter air. Why not have an artificial humidifier in your room (especially in your bedroom where you spend the most time)? This will nourish your skin with regular moisture.
Using a humidifier and “drinking an extra glass or two of water” will prevent unnecessary dry lesions on the skin. Get unnecessary skin tags removed otherwise it irritates and flares up the skin repeatedly.
Wear Gloves:
Instead of exposing hands to the cold weather, it is advisable to wear gloves (light cotton glove first and a woollen one on top of it) as it keeps your hands dry and warm. Moreover, it doesn’t irritate your skin. Woollen gloves are preferable but if you are allergic to it then you can prefer cotton underneath gloves.
Similarly, make sure to wear UV protected sunglasses whenever you step outside.
Shed Wet Clothes:
Make sure that you remove wet clothes (gloves, socks, pants) and shoes as soon as possible. This will prevent your skin from getting irritated.
Use Lukewarm Water:
Avoid hot showers and baths. Don’t get tempted for hot showers in winter. The hot shower will dry your skin and leads to cracks and winter eczema. Thus, wash your face or hands in lukewarm water. Here are the Bathing Tips for dry skin relief.
As soon as you take a shower in lukewarm water, immediately apply a moisturizer. This seals the moisture into the skin and prevents dryness.
Make sure you get an oil-based moisturizer made up of natural essential oils including lavender oil, avocado oil, jojoba oil, eucalyptus oil etc that help in soothing dry skin.
