How To Protect Your Skin During Winter

Lukewarm water is a must

In the winter season, instead of using hot water, use lukewarm water to take a bath, shampoo your hair, or wash your face. Hot showers can strip off the natural oils on your skin and immediately make your skin dry.

Hydration

Whether you are inside your home or outside, the air is dry and you need to keep yourself hydrated. Hence, keep sipping on water. You can also consider installing a humidifier to prevent dryness and manage the moisture level.

Hand and foot cream

Our hands often become dry quickly and get prone to cracks and itchiness. You can prevent this by applying hand cream before stepping out or going to sleep. To keep your feet soft and supple, exfoliate them occasionally.

Avoid too much exfoliation

Exfoliation removes the build-up of dead skin cells. Exfoliate once a week and follow it up with a moisturizer. If you have dry and flaky skin scrub your skin gently in small circular motions.

Sunblock is a necessity

Serums, face oils and creams may make you glow, but your skin needs sunblock daily. Whether the sun is out, or it is cloudy, the harmful UV rays can cause age spots and lead to pigmentation and tanning.
