Winter is a difficult season for your skin. The cooler temperatures mean less humidity in the air. Your skin could dry out unless you take action.
Thankfully you can take proactive steps to protect your skin. With the right skin care strategies, you may even get glowing skin in the winter.
How Cold Weather Impacts Skin
When the weather is cold, there is much less moisture in the indoor and outdoor air, leaving skin prone to drying out. To stay warm, some of us curl up in front of the fire or take more hot showers and baths, activities that further dry skin.
The epidermis, or the outer layer of your skin, is highly affected by the moisture in the air. When the air is cold and dry, the epidermis cannot retain moisture, leaving skin dry, flaky, and itchy.
How to Get Glowing Skin in the Winter
Winter can be hard on your skin, but these skin-care tips will keep your skin healthy, even in the driest conditions.
Cool the Temperature
Hot showers and baths may feel fantastic, but hot water dries out your skin. Cool the temperature of your baths and showers by a few degrees. You can still enjoy the warm water and your skin won’t get as dry.
Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate
Your skin is affected by the amount of moisture inside your body. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water and eating various fruits and vegetables. You may not feel as thirsty as you do in the summer, but hydration is still essential.
Choose Natural, Proven Products
Products that are free from dyes and chemicals often use quality ingredients that are more effective at hydrating skin. Heavily scented lotions may smell nice, but these thin creams don’t do a very good job of hydrating skin. Pick your products carefully to ensure you get the best results.
