One needs to adjust
skin care in accordance to seasons, especially winter, which can be very harsh and harmful. The skin looks very dull and becomes dry to the extent that it becomes troublesome to stretch the facial muscles.
In winter, our skin needs protection not only from the cold winds, but also from the sun as the sunrays in winter can create several skin problems.
Here are some tips to make our skin flawless, healthy, and soft in winter:
Avoid exposing skin: We have to avoid ourselves in letting our skin to get exposed to extreme temperatures and dry cold wind.
Use Sunscreen lotion: Before stepping out, use of a good sunscreen lotion is necessary during the winter. Sunscreen lotions are just as important in summer months as in winter. In using sunscreens, we get the dual benefits of moisturizing and sun protection.
Drink water: In winter, due to the cold weather, we usually have the tendency to avoid water, as we are less thirsty. Our body becomes dry and in order to tackle this problem, we have to drink loads of water to keep ourselves fit and hydrated.
Regular Exercise: Regular exercise will help us to warm up and keep our muscles limber. Exercise increases blood circulation resulting in a glowing skin. It also immunes our system to fight against the nasty cold and other diseases.
Oil massage: A preferable pre-bath almond oil massage is necessary, which helps us to have a silky smooth skin. Not only that, regular massaging helps in toning-up of muscles and smoothening the nerves, besides aiding in blood circulation.
Exfoliate your skin: A main portion of skin care in winter is peeling. During
winter skin on our feet and heels tend to crack and dry often. Exfoliating fights off dry and flaky skin, leaving our feet soft and silky.
Apply moisturizer: To seal the moisture after immediate shower, one has to apply a rich body lotion or cream over the whole body. We need to apply a good moisturizer suiting our skin type and the same should always be carried wherever we go in order to prevent ourselves from letting our skin dry.
Protect lips: It is critical to protect our lips and keep it moist, as our lips do not have oil glands. Licking of lips tend to dry out the lips faster and this impulse should be avoided. Lip balm should be used liberally to protect our lips from being chapped.
Dermatologists should be consulted immediately in order to fight rashes and any other skin related problems. These above measures will effectively keep us healthy and glowing in winter. So, forget the troubles and enjoy the winter happily!
