Your winter skin survival kit

Find here the right way to keep your skin healthy this winter 

In a city like ours, the arrival of winter is always thrilling. However, the season of winter also brings with a whole slew of skin problems since the human skin is exposed to dry and cold environment with low humidity. Read on to find out the easy ways to keep your skin healthy this winter.

Stay hydrated

From winter acne to skin rashes, every skin problem starts with your pores, especially when you are dehydrated. During the winter, people usually don’t drink enough water because they don’t feel thirsty most of the time. However, the human body requires the same amount of water in winter as it does in summer. That’s why, try to keep your body hydrated as much as you can. Drink plenty of water and eat seasonal fruits which also help in dehydration.

Use lip balms

Using lip balms are essential in winter to avoid having chapped and cracked lips. Have a lip balm with you and apply as soon as the lips start drying. There are many colours and flavours available in the market and that too at affordable prices. If you can’t afford buying a lip balm, you may go natural and organic by applying coconut, jojoba or castor oils on your lips to protect against the dry weather conditions.

Use moisturisers

During the winter, the best way to have a glowing and fresh skin is to moisturise it. Your skin can tell if you are well hydrated or not. If you’re not drinking enough water, you skin will become dry, cracked and itchy. Moisturisers are not meant to be used once in a day and must be applied after every two hours to avoid dryness. In doing so, avoid using old moisturisers. If you can’t find a suitable one for your skin or find it heavy on the pocket then you can also use coconut oil or aloe vera to soothe skin with rose water as a toner. -Ends
