As you anticipate the coming of the Christmas
vacation, including the gifts and all the merriment during Christmas
and New Year, there are also concerns and worries arising because of the
cold weather that can beat down your skin. Yes, freezing temperatures
can dehydrate your skin, making it dry and flaky, which will eventually
wrinkle it and make it look old. If what you are looking for is tips
that can make your young, delicate skin shine even in winter, then check
out the tips that can protect your valued asset.
10. Use Chemical-free Cosmetics
You may experience the glow that you are really looking for, but it
may compromise your skin in the long run. You should be conscious enough
to see that your mascara, lipsticks, foundation makeup, and even body
sprays do not have certain elements like plastic resins, formaldehyde,
and carcinogenic chemical solvents. Since the skin is more delicate in
winter, using natural makeup can lessen the damage on the skin, not only
on the face, but also all over the body.
9. Wash Your Clothes Consciously
This is very important if you need to keep your skin protected and
shining from winter. Yes, since you are wearing compressed clothing,
which may be too close for the skin, certain chemicals from dyes and
perfumes found in detergents or fabric conditioners may be sipped in by
the skin when being warm. It is just like using makeup with chemicals.
8. Protect Yourself from UV Rays
Even if you do not see the sun shining so hard, or even when the
skies are dark all day long, it does not mean that UV rays are not
visible. Yes, you may need to wear some lotion with UV protection so
that your skin will not get premature wrinkling.
7. Exfoliate Right
Exfoliating the skin is always a regimen to keep it clean and away
from those harmful outside elements lingering on the pores. It is not
advised however, that you do some body scrubbing on dry skin as it may
damage pores and make things worse by incurring acne. You may exfoliate
by using a natural bristle brush that sweeps of those dead skin cells
and other stuck stuff on your pores, resulting to better circulation,
and more vibrant skin tone.
6. Lessen Your Shower Time
If you have been used to taking baths longer than 30 minutes, then
you should lessen it as it removes natural oils from the skin. You may
need to lessen it to about half the time so that it does not wash away
those essential elements that keep the skin moisturized and damp. Using
warm water is also advised, instead of hot water, so that dehydration is
not increased due to the temperature clash after the bath. It is also
advised to pat yourself dry with a towel, rather than wiping the water
off, so that the liquids stay on the skin.
5. Avoid Certain Foods and Drinks
It is not advised for people to eat spicy food in winter because the
increased body temperature does not mix with the cold weather outdoors.
Your skin will not shine because you will become all red as the
increased blood circulation can wind down slow on freezing air. This
also goes for alcoholic drinks and caffeine products.
4. Keep Warm
Your skin will shine when the temperature on your skin is maintained
warm and not exposed to cold weather. Wear clothes that are made of
natural fabrics, such as cottons and silks, or even sheep fur if you
have those, for warmth while keeping your skin breathe.
3. Take Your Vitamins
Just keep taking in your vitamins since it helps a lot in coping up
with dryness, particularly Vitamin E that is great for the skin. You
should also include Vitamin A and B-complex for some extra boost. If
possible, you could use Vitamin-rich lotions to treat those very prone
skin sections such as the knees and the elbows.
2. Increase Fluid Intake
You may not know it, but cold weather can keep your skin dry as it
loses water when it reaches a certain point where body liquids freeze up
and just disappears away. The moisture inside the skin ends up being
useless, thus results to flakes, wrinkles, and even age spots. So
increase your intake of water, even more than eight glasses a day. You
may feel like being fatter, but with the freezing temperature, it should
be enough to cope with the stressful weather.
1. Keep Your Skin Moisturized
After taking a bath, you must put on some moisturizer to keep your
skin healthy and full, even when going outdoors and facing the cold
weather. Make sure though that you are diligent enough to do some
frequent moisturizing, since neglecting it for a couple of times can
make your hands, feet, and face dry almost instantly, making it flaky,
wrinkled, and dry. Look for some products that offer thick moisturizing,
which makes you lessen the application process, but still provides
double the wetness.
