Our skin won’t be in the same nature in all the seasons, to protect it from every varying season, your skin care habits and living style needed to be changed. Let us see some tips to be followed in the winter season.
The weather change affects your skin very much. Especially, winter when the weather is cold and dry the moisture inside the skin and decomposes very quickly. The skin is much more exposed to bacteria and germs and your skin becomes dull, dark, and loses its original color.
Diy masks for winter skin care
Best tips for dry skin
One of the best products that you can simply make at home with relative ease is a DIY hydrating face mask. They can really help you get the much-needed moisture when your skin is being stripped of it. Using natural moisturizing agents like honey, aloe vera, avocados, yogurts, bananas or oils like jojoba or olive oils to make a paste or cream and leaving on for around 10-30 minutes can give you lasting hydration. These masks are also free of any harsh chemicals, so they are actually healthier than store-bought versions.
Avoid toxins, Allergens or Irritants
If you suffer from skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis or dermatitis, any allergen or irritant may trigger your skin and cause a flare up. In the winters, since the skin loses moisture, it becomes more fragile, so try to avoid any fabrics that may irritate the skin. Wash your clothes in mild cleansers instead of detergents laden with chemicals and use a fabric softener for added softness.
Cracked heels
Most of us know the pain that accompanies dry, cracked heels that is a part and parcel of winter. If untreated, these cracks may turn extremely painful and can even start bleeding. While lighter foot lotions may feel good enough for the summers, they are basically ineffective in the winters. For store bought lotions, try ones that are laden with glycerin or petroleum jelly. Exfoliating is a key step to ensure that you get the dead skin off your feet and enable the moisturization to soak into your skin faster.
