How to take care of your skin during winter season

Tagged Under : , , ,


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…

Skin Care during winter season

Tagged Under : , , ,

Interested in how to combat winter dry skin? As the days turn colder and thoughts turn to holiday parties and celebrations, we naturally want to be looking our best and most radiant.

Unfortunately, the change of season usually wreaks havoc on even the most resilient complexions, leading to tired-looking dry skin. And dry skin during the winter season year after year can lead to lasting damage and even premature aging. So what can you do to banish dry skin and keep your complexion looking fresh and youthful throughout the holiday season.

Here are some simple tips and tricks to keeping dry skin at bay during the winter months:

Cleansing: If your are currently washing your face with soap, consider switching during the winter months to a cream-based facial cleanser. Cleansers often have built in moisturizers which means that the cleanser won’t strip away the natural moisture in your skin.

Moisturizing: Moisturizer is a must during winter months. Contrary to popular believe, moisturizers aren’t absorbed by the skin. Moisturizers act as a sealant to keep the skin’s natural moisture from evaporating away. The best routine at night, wash your face with a gentle cleanser and pat gently dry. Then apply a moisturizer. In the morning, there’s no need for a cleanser, simply was your face with warm water and then apply the moisturizer.

Sunscreen: Don’t think that just because you can’t go sunbathing, you shouldn’t be wearing sunscreen. Between the months of October and March sunscreen is as important as ever. Just because the sun doesn’t feel warm doesn’t mean that your complexion can do without protection from UVA and UVB rays. The difference is that in winter you need a lower SPF. In most cases SPF 8 is adequate.

Use these tips to combat seasonal complexion problems and keep your face fresh and beautiful! If you have an extreme condition that persists, make sure you see a dermatologist.
