Everyone
loves the winter and their skin, but in the winter one needs to love and take
more care of their skin than usual. In this season, Cold and dry air can leave
your skin red, itchy, irritated, and even sometimes flaky.
Do
you know that your skin will produce 10% less oil when the one-degree
temperature drops? So, when there are fewer natural oils on your skin, it is
more likely to get dried up, causing red patches and flaky skin.
So,
what are we going to combat this situation that damages our skin in winters?
Every problem has a solution! We all have been hearing this since our
childhood, and it’s totally true.
Here
we are going to go through some tips to reduce the effect of winter on the skin,
are you ready?
Let’s
dive into this…
1. Make it Warm and Short.
In such a decreasing temperature, it is very quiet common to get
tempted to take a hot bath. Isn’t it? It may keep you warm for a while, but do
you know that it creates a lot of damage to your skin? Yes, Taking a hot water
bath will dry up your skin and make your skin parched (even it causes cracks
too), this is because hot water removes all the moisture (natural oils) from
the surface of your skin; hence it makes your skin dry.
It is better to avoid such hot baths (or hot tub baths) in the winter
season. Instead, take a bath with LukeWarm Water for a short time.

it Short to make your Skin Sweet!”
2. Moisturizer, Moisturizer, and again Moisturizer
Taking a bath with lukewarm water is fine, but there’s one more
step you need to follow right after taking a shower (tip 1). That is to apply
moisturizer to your skin immediately after receiving the bath as it helps to
block the oils in your skin. And if you have dry skin, it is best to apply some
quality moisturizer to your skin during the cold season. As per the skin
specialist opinion of the best hospital in Hyderabad, Applying moisturizer can
increase the moisture level of your skin and prevent skin from drying up. Don’t
forget the moisturizer in the decreased temperature time.
3. Stay Hydrated
It is common to not feel thirsty in the cold season but do you
know that unknowingly our body is dehydrated? Mostly our body will be
dehydrated in the winter due to the dryness in the air (and even we don’t feel
thirsty). It seems not to be so important to hydrate our body, but you need to
take special care in hydrating your body at this time (it also boosts skin
health).
Set goals to drink plenty of water in a day (not at once but set
regular intervals in the day). If you feel like not drinking the cold water,
drink some lukewarm water instead. And also it is excellent advice to consume fruits and vegetables that have high water content. It also helps you in
breaking the fats in your body and regulating healthy body weight.

4. Use Gentle Cleanser or Face Wash
The regular soap, face wash, or cleanser may not work in the
winter season for your skin because your regular soap or cleanser may contain
some harsh chemicals and fragrances that eventually cause damage to your skin
such as making your skin dry and itchy. Try to use fragrance-free and chemicals
free cleansers for your skin. Don’t lather your skin as much as you do in other
seasons; it is better to use soap as little as possible in some areas such as
armpits, feet, and hands (these parts mostly become dry).
Next time when you go beauty shopping, buy a chemical and
fragrance-free cleanser.
5. WWC (Wear Warm Clothes)
The low humidity, dry air, and blowing cold wind is enough to
destroy the skin by making it dry and itchy. Whenever you go out of home, don’t
forget to wear warm and comfortable clothes. Make sure you don’t wear winter clothes touching directly to your skin as it causes dryness and itchiness.
It is better to wear thin and light clothing before wearing woolen or warm
clothes.
6. Eat a Proper Diet
Not only the outer tips can make your skin glowing and charming,
but at the same time, you need some grooming from inside it.e., by eating a proper
diet. In this low humidity season, try to eat as much as seasonal fruits and
veggies. Most antioxidants and vitamins are needed for your skin to be healthy
in this cold weather. Dieticians from the best hospital in Hyderabad say, Eat some
root-based vegetables like carrots, green leafy vegetables, beetroots, and more
as they are beneficial to our health. Try to consume the food that contains the
most water content such as soups and teas. Try to avoid Junk Food such as
pizzas, burgers, and other fried items as it makes your skin health worse.
7. Don’t Let Wet Clothes Destroy Your Skin
It is refreshing to play in the snow, later the clothes get wet,
but staying in wet clothes for a long time is good for your skin? Guess! No,
not at all, due to the wet clothes your skin gets dried up and becomes itchy
and reddish causing damage to your skin. Avoid being in wet clothes in cold
weather.
8. Sunscreens For Winter
Most people think that sunscreens are meant to be used only on
sunny summer days, but it is also advised by many dermatologists to use
sunscreens even in winter (regularly). Because this will help you to escape
from the harmful UV rays projected on your skin. We advised using sunscreens
with a high SPF of at least 30. From next time you get out, never forget the
sunscreen to be applied on your skin.
9. Don’t let Hands and Feet dry
Hands have fewer oil glands when compared to the skin on any
other parts of our body, that’s why we can see that our hands are the most
common part that often dries in cold weather. And sometimes it leads to cracks
and itchiness, so it is better to apply moisturizer when frequently.
Don’t forget to moisturize your feet with moisturizers (mostly
containing petroleum jelly or some glycerin) because it helps to avoid drying
up the skin of your feet. Care for your feet.
