How to protect Skin in Winters

Hi, we all know that winters as a part of seasons comes with a winter effect, cold spells, harsh air and freezy mornings.During summers we spend our time curing our tanning and sun burnt skin, similarly in winters we have to protect our skin from drying, cracking and many more complications.

During cold spells, our skin is constantly bombarded, dried out and increasingly susceptible to infections,
Cracking,chafing,dry patches and itichiness are all the symptoms of winter skin.
So its better to take precautions before because "Prevention is better than cure".
So below are some of the points that all should keep in mind during winters.

Firstly, make it a habit to drink plenty of water and fluids during winters.Because when the body is hydrated so do the skin, drink atleast 6-8 glasses of water everyday, this will remove the toxins from body, giving skin a smoother and shinier look.

Secondly, moisturize your skin, it is really important because moisturizers create a barrier that protects skin from drying, giving it time for hydration and provide healing power to skin.

Thirdly, Exfoliate your skin, it is necessary because it removes rough bits and promotes new cell growth, try and use simpler products that maintain moisture, and avoid harsh soaps, as they will ruin your skin cells, try and use products that contain cocoa or shea butter and avocados.

Fourthly, Apply sunscreen to your face in winters also, it is just a myth that only summer sun creates blunders but in winters too sun rays are bit harsh on skin and can damage skin.

fifth, If you have a really dry skin dont use toners that are alcohol based they will make skin more worse rather opt for a cleansing milk or oil instead.

Sixth, dont ever rub your skin after having hot shower it will only make your skin unhealthy by removing all the oils and skin cells, try skin to pat dry itself, take short cool showers and not long hot baths.

seventh, Try to apply oil to your whole body by giving massage to yourself for 20 minutes this will remove the dry skin that make a whitish layer over the skin and the skin look dry.

These are only few precautions that we can take but skin as a body organ require a consistent care , and you should not neglect it any way.

Take care:)
