Cold temperatures and windy conditions can be very damaging for the skin. The air in winter is usually drier than in other seasons, and this dry air can result in dry itchy skin. In winter, we are also more likely to use heaters and central heating. These by themselves can dry out the skin and the change from cold to hot weather can have a negative effect. People with dry skin, skin disorders or sensitive skin need to pay special attention to winter skin care during the cold months. Here are some of the skin problems that can occur during winter.
- Dryness.
- Flakiness.
- Redness and irritation.
- Trigger for skin problems, like eczema and psoriasis.
- Wrinkles.
- Thinning of the skin.
- Rashes.
The effects of extreme weather conditions can be damaging but there are steps you can take to limit the amount of damage caused by extreme weather conditions and treat problems that are caused by extreme weather. Here are some tips for dealing with hot and cold weather, and for providing hot and cold weather skin care.
- Protect yourself from UV rays. For adequate UV protection, wear sunscreen with a high SPF factor, a hat and long loose clothing. Sunscreen should be worn even in winter.
- Wear a moisturizer. Choose a moisturizer that is right for your skin type and put it on every morning (and night if need be).
- Avoid frequent changes of sudden temperature. Don’t come home from the cold air into a very warm house. Keep your heating down low and turn it up as your body gets used to it.
- Protect your skin from the cold wind by wearing suitable clothing and keeping under shelter as much as possible.
- Give yourself some nourishing moisturizing masks. Good natural masks can be made with fruit or herbs, along with yoghurt and honey.
- Look after your immune system. A good immune system will stop you catching so many of the colds that are prevalent in winter. Sick people are more likely to develop skin problems. Include plenty of vitamin C in your diet and get adequate rest.
Make sure you follow the above things above and you can be rest assured you look your best…
