Winter Skincare Tips
Your skin is subjected to the elements more than any other organ in your body. Thus, when a cold, dry winter sets in, it is important to change up your skincare regimen to better help your skin stay supple and healthy. To protect your skin, you should do more than just drink plenty of water.
Cold, dry weather can quickly zap the moisture from your skin, leaving it painfully tight, cracked, and red. Your skincare regimen should not be static—it should change with the needs of your skin. To help your skin battle dryness during winter weather, contact Skin Begins today for a wide variety of dry skin products.
Preventing Dry Skin
For a person with naturally dry skin, winter can cause havoc by making your skin even drier. For those with oily skin, winter weather can upset your balancing regimen, making you more prone to acne and other problems. Fortunately, there are several things you can do to help prevent extra-dry winter skin, such as:
- Avoid wearing wet clothes, like damp socks
- Do not take superhot showers or baths
- Protect hands and feet with petroleum jelly, or glycerine-based moisturizers
- Use a humidifier in your bedroom and possibly even at work
- Avoid strong skin products and treatments like chemical peels
The Importance of Sunscreen
Additionally, many people forgo sunscreen during the winter, thinking that it is only for the summer sun. However, the sun’s reflective glare from surfaces like snow and ice can actually magnify the rays, making you more prone to sunburn. Do not forget sunscreen even though it may be cloudy and cold outside.
