| Skin protection is a key to glowing and healthy skin |
Whenever, winter arrives, skin becomes dry, itchy and dull
because of cold breezes, low humidity and freezing temperature. The drier your
skin is, the less able it is to provide a barrier against infection. Splits in the
skin can create a greater chance for infection to take hold. In such situation
skin care is very important which can be done with little knowledge and precautionary
measures. Following are some important steps that are necessary to follow for
healthy and glowing skin.
1: Avoid long exposure to warm or lukewarm water as sticking
to warm water as it will strip away lipids, letting more moisture evaporate and
drying out your skin even more.
2: Avoid exposure to cold air by wearing full clothes with
scarf and gloves as blustery winds are harmful for your skin.
3: Drink plenty of water and prefer to eat diets enriched
with proteins as lacking enough protein or fat can also quicken the drying out
process.
4: Try a lotion with salicylic acid to exfoliate dead cells
around your hair follicles and reduce the appearance of bumps.
5: Do not use dry handwash or soap instead use with
moisturizing abilities
6: Find an "ointment" oil-based moisturizer, rather
than water-based, as the oil will create a protective layer on the skin that
retains more moisture than a cream or lotion. Many lotions labeled as “night
cream” are usually oil based.
7: In winter use strong moisturizer for your feet. Such as lotions
that contains petroleum jelly or glycerine.
8: If your skin is uncomfortably dry in winter then you
should avoid harsh peels, masks, and alcohol-based toners as these products
strip out necessary oil from your skin. As an alternative you can use
a cleansing milk or mild foaming cleanser, a toner with no alcohol.
9: Don't forget sunscreen. You still have to protect your
skin from the harmful effects of the sun, especially as it reflects off the
snow!
10: Apply lip balm as it will prevent lip chapping. Do not forgot to apply petroleum jelly on lips every night
