The happiest time of the year is here! The chilly season calls for hot chocolate, cosy sweaters, Christmas carols and baked goods. The only time when winter becomes unpleasant is when it’s accompanied by harsh, cold winds. If you don’t moisturise your skin during this time, the dry air will draw out all the moisture away from the upper layers of the skin. To prevent the skin from drying out and becoming flaky, follow these skin care tips. After all, make-up looks best on hydrated, moisturised skin.
Invest in a good quality humidifier
The humidifier's purpose is to increase the moisture levels in the air. Not only does it add moisture to the indoor air, but it also keeps the skin hydrated and radiant. The best time to run your humidifier is at night. Just before you hit the sack, turn it on and let it run all night. Make this your bedtime ritual so that your skin stays soft.
Be mindful of your bathing ritual
Avoid bathing in piping hot water as it will dry out the skin and strip it from its natural oils. To be safe, opt for lukewarm water. Say no to soaps and cleansers that have SLS, parabens, fragrances in them as they tend to damage and irritate the skin. And finally, when wiping your skin dry with a towel, always pat the skin dry instead of rubbing. Once that’s done, and your skin is damp, slather a thick layer of moisturiser on it. This method will help your skin to retain its moisture.
Buff & repeat
A sure way to get healthy-looking skin is to exfoliate the skin and get rid of the top layer of dead skin cells. To get the job done, you can either use a scrub or a chemical exfoliator. If it’s a scrub that you’re opting for, make sure that you are gentle while exfoliating your skin. If it’s a chemical exfoliator like glycolic or lactic acid, then use a cotton pad to apply the product. Exfoliate the skin once or twice a week. Avoid over-exfoliating your skin as it could irritate it. Once the skin is polished and buffed, it becomes easier for skincare products to penetrate deeper.
Befriend the lip balm
Chapped lips are a sign that your skin desperately needs a dose of moisture. First, exfoliate your lips with a lip scrub and then apply a lip balm. The best moisturising ingredients you should look for in a lip balm are lanolin, Vitamin E, honey, cocoa butter, shea butter, kokum butter and beeswax.
Switch to tich & heavy moisturisers
Lotions are decent skincare products for moisturising the skin, but heavy-duty creams are better for dry skin types. When investing in a cream, keep an eye out for hydrating ingredients like olive oil, jojoba oil, shea butter, ceramides and hyaluronic acid. They will not only keep your skin moisturised, but nourish it to the tea as well.
