The cold winter weather leaves your skin dry! The dryness of air and bright sunlight will make the season hard to handle! It is not going to be enough if you just practice your regular skincare routine. You got to perk up your regime with a few tips. Here are they
Why is winter different?
Your skin tends to get dried up with dip in temperature. Our skin’s natural moisture content tends to get evaporated due to the difference in temperature with very cold and dry outdoors, and warm indoors. This evaporation is the culprit causing patches of oily skin and dry skin.
Usually, people find their skin reacting indifferent, but in general a lot of people find their skin being extra sensitive and dry and their skin tends to peel off!
Listing below some of the useful winter skincare tips
Deep cleaning practice at night
During winter, make sure to clean your face with a fresh facial toner right in the morning so that it freshens up your skin without damaging its lipid cover. It is this lipid cover that takes care of your skin and keeps its natural moisture intact. Before going to bed, make sure to clean up your skin thoroughly.
Night skincare routine
You can make use of a night cream that helps you right while you are asleep. Make it a practice to apply overnight facial mask every night. It has good moisturizing effect.
There are a lot of skincare brands that have protective creams, particularly for people who remain outdoors for prolonged period. When you will mostly be in sunny winter landscape regions, you may also add sunscreen creams to your routine.
Cleaning oil
The basic for a healthy skincare routine is good cleaning, no matter which season it is. Your skin will be at its driest state during winter. So, you will have to shift from your regular cleaning product with any non-comedogenic cleaning oil. It means, the oil should be such that it doesn’t block the pores of skin. This kind of cleaning oil will aid in wiping out the dirt and makeup residues with ease. Once you clean using such cleaning oil, you will find a smooth and nice skin that is neither greasy nor dry.
Take off the enzymes and flakes
When you find your skin being too dry, it is time for you to get rid of the oil skin cells that hinders entry of moisture into your skin.
Be careful while practicing mechanical peeling method, as your skin may get irritated out of the tiny grinding grains, especially during the winter season when skin is very sensitive. You may rather choose to go with enzyme peeling for two times a week. This kind of enzyme peeling will work by eating out the old skin without causing any kind of damage to the skin.
AHA and Vitamin C
When your skin is too tired, giving it some Vitamin C supplement can make it refreshing and remove all the tired winter skin.
During winter, ahead of strong sunshine, you can apply a face peel with alpha hydroxyl acid. This is not recommended during summer days as your skin may get damaged due to sun and it may lead to pigmentation. On the contrary, during winter, it is i imperative to make use of sunscreen to protect your skin post subjecting it to AHA treatment.
For those with highly sensitive skin and those who suffer out of rosacea or eczema rashes, you need to be very cautious about doing acid treatment like AHA. You may approach a good skin therapist in getting appropriate guidance and decide what best suits your skin type.
Watch out your food intake
Aid your body with some extra healthy food intake that are rich in antioxidants and a lot of omega 3, 6, 7, and 9. You can obtain all the essential nutrients out of nuts and fruits. The skin’s blood circulation can also be increased by regularly exercising. This will make it softer and suppler.
