With chilly winds and snowy roads, the weather sure seems gloomy and beautiful. But the cool wind is not so cool with your skin. In winters, your skin gets dry. First of all, the atmosphere is dry so it eliminates moisture from your skin. And the hot water bath that you enjoy so much also deprive your skin of all the suppleness and hydration. Thus, you get that chapped feeling.
The good thing is, you can incorporate a few things into your winter skincare routine which will not only keep skin issues away from you but will also keep your skin soft, beautiful and moisturized.
Buy A Humidifier
Yes, you have read that right. A humidifier can help in retaining the moisture in your home, especially on colder days. The best you can do is place the humidifier in a room where you stay the most. This way, your skin won’t get itchy and chapped and will stay safe from the harshness of the cold weather.
Stay Hydrated
As much as you don’t feel thirsty in winters, it can affect your digestion and your overall body performance and eventually, that will show on your skin. Drinking more water will keep your skin hydrated, your body functions optimal and your gut health at its best. So, don’t let water deficiency ruin your skin this winter season. Drinking 6 to 8 glasses per day will make the difference.
Use Sunscreen
The sun may hide behind clouds but its still there and so are the UV rays. Even snow can reflect sun rays even more, so make sure you continue using sunscreen even when the skies are grey. Another important reminder, if you are working from home, that doesn’t mean you don’t have to wear sunscreen, you need it all year round.
Eat Well
Yeah, yeah, you all get tempted to eat more sugary, fried items but don’t go to town on them. Having a chocolate pudding with natural sweeteners and almond milk is much better than a chocolate cake made with traditional items such as butter and sugar. And sugar is bad for acne, it can even cause skin irritation.
Apart from that, don’t start and end your day with things that are heavy and stuffy but have little to no nutritional value. Go for eggs, almonds, yogurt, whole grain bread and olive oil in breakfast. A wholesome breakfast goes a long way. For lunch and dinner, focus on salads and soups. These types of foods keep your digestive tract healthy, boost your immunity and bring a glow to your skin.
Change Your Skin Care Products
Go with the season, the oil free cleanser you used in summer might over dry your skin in winters. So, go from cream-based cleansers, choose a moisturizing massaging cream. Pick a mask that contains more moisturization.
Choose Facial Treatments Wisely
Or go with a professional advice. At Nita Med Spa, we have special facial treatments such as Hydrafacial, which will bring back your moisture from within without letting the exfoliants dry out your skin.
