How To Care For Skin In Winters?
by: Burt Cotton
The falling of the leaves,
the early sinking of the sun and the disappearance of ants… what
do all these things convey? Well, you guessed it right; these
things convey the onset of wnters. It’s time, you need to
protect yourself from the chilly weather, the teasing sun and
skin damage.
In fact, winter season is the major cause for skin drying as the
cold winter air is less humid than the warm air. Moreover, the
harsh chilly winds make the conditions even worse, as they cause
the moisture of the skun to evaporate very quickly. And above
all, the indoor conditions can prove equally bad for your skin
and the complexion during the winters.
During winters, most of the people insist on indoor heating
through heaters or fire places. This indoor heating proves
extremely bad for the skin. The warm air tends to pull mistier
from the air and makes the environment dehydrated. It even pulls
the moisture from the skin. The skin glands start becoming
smaller and eventually disappear. As a result of all this, the
skin becomes dry. Now, if you want to protect yourself from this
indoor heating damage, you should install a humidifier in the
house. It would help to restore the lost indoor moisture and
thus prevent the condition of skin dryness.

Mosturizers are your best friends during the
wnters. You should maintain a stock of nutrient rich
moisturizing creams and lotions during the chilly season. You
should apply moisturizers on your whole body, where face and
hands are a must. If you have dry skin you should go for heavier
applications of moisturizers. The recommended usage of
moisturisers on the face is at least 3 three times a day. During
winters, it is recommended that you stay away from soaps and use
body washes for bathing purposes. You can use luke warm water
instead of hot water as the latter would dry up your skin. You
should give your body an application of moisturizers after
taking a bath, as to restore the lost body moisture.
The lethality of UV rays becomes stronger during the winter
season as the UV rays reflecting off the snow can cause severe
damage to the skin. Before moving out in the winter sun for
snowboarding or skiing, it is recommended that you apply a
sunscreen lotion to protect your skin from UV damages. You
should also wear sunglasses as the UV rays can also damage your
eyes.
Dry lips are a common problem during the winters. You should
protect your lips from the cold winds by applying moisturizing
lipsticks regularly. In fact you should make a habit of applying
lipsticks so that your lips remain protected throughout the day.

If you are an avid lover of
sauna, it is advisable that you quit taking it during the winter season. At
spa or gym, you can consider using a steam room instead of dry sauna bath.
However, before taking a steam session, you can apply Vitamin E oil, which
would make your skin soft and glistening after you come out.
You should consider eating fatty foods during the winters. As the oil and
moisture evaporation from the skin is very high during winter, the intake of
fatty foods can revitalize and rejuvenate your skin as well as your body.
Exfoliation during winters is equally important as you need to smooth away
the dry patches from your face and body and prevens them from occurring
again.
Considering all these aspects in mind, you would certainly protect your self
from the winter season and maintain a soft and glistening skin.
