There is a slight chill in the air these days, hinting at the arrival of winter. And who doesn’t love winter and flaunting those long winter coats & boots? But the major concern that worries most people is treating the dryness and dullness that accompanies winter. Don’t worry! This blog will introduce you to some simple winter skin care tips that will give you a glowing, supple skin.
Understanding the Causes of Dryness in Winter
Before we dive into the tips let’s first understand what causes the dryness and flakiness.
The harsh winter months bring with it cold, frigid air that causes your skin to lose all its moisture. Also, the long hot showers that you enjoy during winter cause further drying of skin. Thus, a good winter skin care routine and a healthy diet are crucial for maintaining your glow in winter.
Winter Skin Care Tips for a Glowing Skin
If you’re wondering what exactly you can do to help your skin. Let’s go over some winter skin care tips to find the answer. Following these tips will lend you a glowing skin that will last all winter, they are:
Moisturise Your Skin
Although it is a simple step, keeping your skin, body and lips moisturised can go a long way in keeping the dryness and itchiness at bay and will give you a soft, glowing skin.
Stay Hydrated
Drinking water is something we often neglect in winter but it is crucial for maintaining the water levels in the body and moisturising the skin.
Avoid Long Hot Showers
Using hot water can ease that winter chill but it ends up drying out the skin. So, only use lukewarm water, especially on your face. Also, lock in the moisture by applying moisturiser on damp skin.
Replenish Your Skin at Night
Getting a deep sleep of 6-8 hours is crucial not just for your healthy body and mind but skin as well. Applying moisturisers and oils on your skin at night can lend you a glowing skin the next morning.
Pro-Tip: Never Forget the Sunscreen
Although the sun is not too harsh in winter, the sun damage is real. So, never forget to apply sunscreen 10-15 minutes before stepping outdoors.
Takeaway
Following some simple winter care tips like moisturising the skin and hydrating yourself among others are enough to keep the dryness & itchiness at bay, and maintain that glowing skin.
