Great Looking Skin in Winter

The weather outside may be unsightly, but your skin doesn't have to be. How to banish dry skin and give your winter skin care regimen a boost. For many people, the cold clear days of winter bring more than just a rosy glow to the cheeks. They also bring uncomfortable dryness to the skin of the face, hands, and feet. For some people, the problem is worse than just a general tight, dry feeling: They get skin so dry it results in flaking, cracking, even eczema (in which the skin becomes inflamed).

To keep one's skin soft and supple becomes a difficult task in the winter. A good skin care routine is a must during this season, to assure that your skin does not become dry and rough.

And it is not only the face that is important. Skin being one of the most essential parts of the body requires constant nourishment and good care. Here are a few good tips to help protect your skin:


1. Exposure: Skin is the most sensitive part of the body. It is sensitive to a lot of elements. Hence, minimal exposure is the key. Try not to expose your skin to the sun, wind too much. Always apply a sunscreen or moisturiser to keep harmful UV rays at bay.

2. Exfoliating: Removing your dead skin is important to let new fresh skin grow and breath. Using a loofah during a shower, regular pedicures and manicures and using a scrub regularly helps in removing the dead skin and leave your skin soft and silky.

3. Shave: An important tip for boys, while using a razor is to keep in mind that you do not use a razor more than 3 times. Never use a rusted razor which can lead to irritation of skin.

4. Moisturise: The best thing you can do for your body is to regularly use a moisturiser. Moisturise your skin after every bath and also before you go to bed. Make sure the moisturiser suits your skin and does not cause allergy or irritation.
