Dubai, UAE, January 23, 2017: With winter season peaking this time of the year, our skin tends to be at its unruliest best. This time hits those of us with dry skin the most, exaggerating the uncomfortable flakes and cracks.Ensuring extra protection against the dropping temperatures with an informed and customized skin care regime is imperative while dealing with the challenges associated with dry skin. So here are some easy breezy tips to winterize your routine for warm, dewy and healthy skin.
- Pamper your skin, the right way: Regularly Exfoliating, massaging and using facial packs are the 3 quintessential must dos of the winter care checklist. A mild exfoliating scrub works wonders on the skin by removing accumulated dead skin which in turn helps in intense moisturization. This must be followed by a facial massage once a day, in order to improve blood circulation. Lastly do indulge in preferably homemade or organic face packs at least twice a week. The 3 combined together make up for the perfect formula for achieving a glowing skin.
- Step up your hydrating and moisturizing game: Dealing with dropping moisture levels requires you to take care of few basic things. Firstly, you must increase your water intake and simultaneously also include plenty of fruits and vegetables in your diet. This will help keep the skin naturally hydrated. Secondly, replace your summer cream with a moisturizer that has a slightly thicker consistency which actually helps lock moisture into your skin. A brownie tip for increasing the moisture retention is to dab cream right after a shower while the skin is still damp, as the water particles locked in the skin help increase hydration. Lastly, investing in a humidifier goes a long way in boosting the efficacy of your regime.
- Say no to hot water: Yes, long hot baths are the luxury we look forward to during winters but you must muster your determination against it. Hot water strips our skin of essential oils leaving the skin dryer. So make sure you opt for Luke warm water instead, particularly when washing face and hands.
- Olive oil, your skin's messiah: This magical oil is rich in Vitamin A, E and K and prevents the oxidative destruction of skin. Using it in its natural state as well as choosing products which contain olive oil renders greatbenefits to our winter battered skin. It's a humectant which draws moisture to the skin and thus aces at healing damaged skin.
- Sunscreen, an absolute must! : A lesser known fact about winters is that our skin is more prone to the impact of UV rays during this time. Opt for a brightening moisturizer with an SPF and look radiant throughout the day.
Brace yourself with these simple yet effective guidelines and concoct the perfect personalized recipe for radiant and soft complexion that lasts till spring.
