Make Your Skin Glow During The Winter
The winter is a tough season which makes hard on our skin. Cold weather, dry wind and bright sunlight all add up to one winter season. When temperature drops, skin gets drier. Skin reacts differently in the winter season for different individuals. In the Winter season, many of them experience their skin more sensitive, drying, and peeling off.
Few tips which helps our skin during winter season in more healthy way.
- Wash your face with lukewarm water: Washing face with lukewarm water, keeps our skin more hydrated and the excess oil will be released. It makes our skin glow and healthy.
- Choose your moisturizer carefully: Selecting a moisturizer is very important for our skin. Some moisturizes have petroleum based ingredients that can actually further dry our skin in the winter months. Use natural ingredient moisturizer. Go for an oil – based rather than a water – based solution.
- Invest in a humidifier for maximize moisture: Heating systems dry out the air, so consider installing a humidifier in your home, particularly in your bedroom, to put moisture back into the air and help prevent your skin from drying out.
- Drink more water & eat more fruits: We tend to drink less water in winter season because we have hot drinks like coffee, tea. But our skin needs hydration from inside out. Have fresh juice, and have a little warm water with lemon can be refreshing and hydrates at the same time. Eating foods high in water content can help hydrate your skin from the inside out. Try watermelon, cantaloupe, apples, oranges, kiwi, and watery veggies like celery, tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, and carrots. Make sure you’re getting enough vitamin C and zinc to support the healthy production of collagen and elastin. Also have omega-3 supplement, or consume more fatty fish and flaxseed to give your skin the building blocks it needs to appear supple and smooth.
- DIY masks: Homemade hydrating masks can provide needed moisture in the winter months. Use natural moisturizing ingredients like honey, avocado, yogurt, olive and jojoba oils, almond oil, bananas, and aloe. Mix what you like together to create a cream or paste, and leave on skin for 10-30 minutes for lasting hydration.
- Overnight Moisturizer: Dryer areas like hands, feet, elbows, and knees have thin skin and tend to lose moisture faster than other areas on the body. Consider slathering on a deep moisturizing balm at night, then wear cotton gloves and socks to seal in the moisture until morning.
