Skin care routines also change with the change of season and skin type. Taking care of normal skin is not difficult in any season, but taking care of dry skin is quite difficult. As soon as the humidity in the air starts to decrease in winter, dry skin starts to get drier. As a result, the skin gradually becomes rough and dirty. People with dry skin are therefore quite anxious at the beginning of winter. Today I will share with you some tips to keep your skin beautiful and healthy throughout the winter.
1. Use Cleanser
During winter, our skin usually becomes very dry, and the amount of natural oils released from our skin also decreases. So, it is very important to use a good quality cleanser to prevent skin dryness. Dry skin in winter should therefore be treated with a good quality cleanser regularly, and warm water can be used if necessary.
2. Use moisturizer on the skin:
To get rid of dry skin, try to moisturize your skin from the outside first. Moisturizing means that the cells on the skin are sufficiently moist. Regular use of moisturizer on the skin will prevent the skin from drying out. That is why you should use moisturizer cream on your face, hands, and feet every morning after waking up and before going to sleep at night. As a little advance, you can always leave a small moisturizer and a lip balm in your bag, then you can easily clean yourself up if necessary.
Now, many people may have a question about which moisturizer to use. To answer this, I would say that it is difficult for me to name any specific moisturizer cream. But you can use any moisturizing cream that suits your skin. You can also take the help of dermatologists if needed.
3. Ensure skin protection:
I have seen many people who bathe and wash their face excessively for various reasons, but they don’t really know how harmful this is for their skin. Definitely try to avoid this because drinking too much water can wash away your skin’s protective layer, which can increase the level of dryness of the skin.
Always try to cover the skin during winter. Otherwise, the cold air outside will make your skin rough easily. And in summer, keep the skin safe from the heat of the sun and dust outside. Otherwise, sweat and dust can get inside the skin and damage it.
4. Exfoliate Regularly
Exfoliants can be used to remove dead cells from your dry skin in winter. However, excessive exfoliation can over-dry your skin. So exfoliation should be used in limited form to remove dead skin cells.
5. Use warm water:
Excessively hot water is harmful to the skin, especially for dry skin. Because hot water makes dry skin even drier. So always use lukewarm water for bathing and cleaning hands and face.
You can use sea salt in the bath water if you want. You can also use soap with a good moisturizer and cleansing milk; in that case, wash off the soap from the skin thoroughly using more water.
6. Wear comfortable clothes:
Dry skin becomes even drier when the humidity in the air decreases. The skin becomes sensitive. As a result, skin rashes appear. So make sure that winter wear like woolen hats, gloves, socks, and mufflers are soft and comfortable.
Before wearing clothes that have been left at home, be sure to expose them to the sun or air them out before wearing them.
It is better not to wear too-tight clothes as they destroy the flexibility of the skin. Use comfortable clothes for yourself; they will not put extra pressure on the skin.
7. Keep the environment warm:
Try to keep the room environment moist to avoid skin dryness in winter. A humidifier can be used to maintain humidity in the room environment. This will keep your indoor environment moist and help prevent your skin from drying out. If you maintain a humid environment in the house, your skin will also get rid of dryness and maintain moisture.
8. Use sunscreen:
The contribution of sunscreen in keeping the skin healthy by preventing skin dryness during winter is unmatched. Even though the heat of the sun is less in winter, you should not avoid using sunscreen at all. Because UV rays from sunlight can damage your skin even in cold winter weather, a good quality broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher must be used before going out even in winter. By doing this, the health and moisture of the skin will be maintained.
9. Don’t forget to take care of hands and feet:
Many people with dry skin tend to get cracked hands and feet during winter. Symptoms of ankle sprains are more common in winter. So if you mix glycerin with water or rose water before going to sleep, this cracked heel will get its smoothness back.
Many people have the problem of dry skin on their hands. To avoid this problem, you can always keep a small tube of hand cream with you. Whenever hands feel dry, use hand cream to keep the skin moist and soft.
Also, before going to bed at night, mix honey with milk and massage lightly on hands and feet for 20 minutes and then wash off. As a result, the dryness of the hands and feet will reduce a lot.
10. Lips should always be kept moisturized:
Many people have dry and chapped lips. For this solution, you can apply orange juice on your lips and keep it for a while, or you can mix rose petal powder with a little milk and apply it on your lips. As a result, the dark spots on the lips will be removed, as well as the lips will be soft.
You can also use a good quality lip balm to keep your lips soft in winter. A moisturizing lip balm should be used to avoid chapped, dry, and cracked lips during winter. When buying a lip balm, you must choose a moisturizing and glycerin-rich lip balm. A good quality lip balm will keep your lips smooth and soft during winter.
11. Use Skin Care Products
A variety of skin care products can be used to treat dry skin in winter. You can use winter skin care products like a good quality hydrating night cream and glycerin before going to bed to keep the skin extra moisturized.
So, it is very important to use good brands and good quality skin care products to keep the skin hydrated and moisturized during winter. Also, avoid using skin care products that contain alcohol or harsh fragrances, as such products can increase skin dryness and irritation.
12. Avoid hot shower
In winter, the habit of bathing for a long time should be avoided to keep the skin healthy by preventing dryness. Bathing for too long in winter can cause skin dehydration.
Also, avoid bathing with excessively hot water in winter as it increases the dryness of the skin and can cause the skin to become dehydrated and crack. Therefore, the bathing time should be reduced in winter, and bathing should be done with lukewarm water instead of excessively hot water. This will keep the skin hydrated and prevent dryness.
13. Maintain a proper diet:
Real winter skin care depends on diet. Eat all kinds of vegetables and fruits in winter and drink plenty of water. Water is an essential substance for the human body, so try to drink enough water every day. Water flushes out toxins from your body and keeps skin cells alive. An average person needs 4-5 liters of water per day. Make sure that the requirement of water is fulfilled in your body.
Consume plenty of vegetables in your daily meals. Vegetables will do better for your skin than meat or fatty foods. The minerals contained in foods like green vegetables help in maintaining the vitality of the skin. You can also eat watery fruits and vegetables if you want. Apart from that, you can eat healthy non-vegetarian food like eggs, nuts, and pulses. But avoid fast food and spicy food. And if you have a habit of smoking, avoid that too, because smoking can be one of the main causes of dryness of your skin.
14. Use of natural Ingredients:
If your skin gets dry this winter, there are a few things you can follow. First clean the skin well. Then use petroleum jelly on the skin. It will keep the skin alive and save your skin from the winter ravages.
You can take care of your skin using various household items. For example, you can mix honey, curd, egg and carrot juice together and apply it on your face, then after 25 minutes gently rub and wash it off. If you do this 3 days a week, the dryness of the face will decrease.
Also make a pack with almond paste and honey and apply it on your face and wash it off after 15 minutes. If you use it like this regularly 3 days a week, you get many benefits. Aloe vera, coconut oil, glycerin are also very effective in skin care. So try to use them regularly in winter.
