9 Skin Care Tips For Winter
ADVERTISEMENTS
It’s important to keep the skin in good and working well condition all year long so they can do their jobs and keep us healthy and safe. Cracked, flaky, irritated, or inflamed skin is normal during winter, though it’s not exactly fun. Here, just in time: strategies to make sure your most moisture-starved parts stay soft and smooth all season long:
1. Avoid Hot Bath
Avoid bathing with hot steamy water, although this may seem a good idea when the temperatures are low, but exposure to hot water for long periods of time can zap all the moisture from your skin. Also make sure you choose Showers Over Baths as a long, steamy soak in the tub will parch your skin, leaving it dry and itchy. Stick to warm or Luke warm water and avoid bathing for longer durations.
2. Wear Hat When Go Out
When heading outdoors, make sure to wear hat, scarf and gloves to protect the skin from cold temperatures and to avoid wind burns.
3. Go For Healthy Diet
Make sure to have foods in your diet rich in mono-unsaturated fatty acids and Omega-3- fatty acids, such as fish, nuts and olive oil. Also taking fruits and vegetables rich in Vitamin C like citrus fruits and dark leafy vegetables can prove out to be very beneficial for the skin as Vitamin C is essential for the production of Collagen, a body protein which is an essential component of our skin and connective tissues underneath. Also it is very important to keep yourself hydrated at all times, although this may be difficult in winters when you don’t normally feel thirsty a lot, but water is essential to rehydrate the scaly skin.
4. Use Antibacterial Soap
Antibacterial soaps can be really harsh on your skin, especially in winters; shifting to milder glycerin can be very helpful. To prevent chapping parched hands, embrace wipe-off, soap-free cleansers and alcohol-free hand sanitizers. When you do wash, choose a moisturizing soap-free cleanser or a hydrating antibacterial gel, then slather on lotion right away.
