Top 6 Winter Skin Care Tips: How to Protect Your Beauty in the Cold Season

December 30, 2016 by Jennifer Scott

If it’s not the cold whipping winds, it’s the scorching indoor heating system. Winter skin care is extremely complicated. Unlike summertime, you need something that can keep you glowing when stepping outside and when cozying up next to a fire. Just because it can be such a daunting task, we’re going to provide you with the most important tips to consider when needing to keep your skin dew and happy during wintertime.

Top 6 Winter Skin Care Tips

#1 Invest in a Humidifier

First things first, let’s talk a little bit about your home, where you can control the nourishing of your skin much easier. Its main enemy during wintertime is the heating system, which sucks all moisture out of the air. In turn, this dries your skin up. The most comprehensive step you can take toward prevention in this situation is getting a [easyazon_link identifier=”B013IJPTFK” locale=”US” tag=”beautifu0f2-20″]humidifier[/easyazon_link] that can counter the dryness.

#2 Sanitizers for your Hands

Your hands need some winter skin care as well, but in their case the thing that really damages them is the habitual cycle of washing and then drying them up. The solution is simple – opt for soap-free cleansers or [easyazon_link identifier=”B004F7LDFK” locale=”US” tag=”beautifu0f2-20″]alcoholic sanitizers[/easyazon_link] which don’t require any rinsing after usage.

#3 Wash with Lukewarm Water

When it’s cold outside, it’s only natural that we feel an urge to turn the hotness of our tap water as high as possible. However, hot water can strip our skin of layers of oils that are crucial to maintaining a healthy and smooth skin. Instead, choose lukewarm water when you can: when brushing your teeth or washing your hands, for example.

#4 Moisturize and Glo(ve) Up

This should come as a given, but winter skin care would be nothing without some moisturizing lotion for hydration and bonus aesthetic points. Most moisturizers actually don’t add anything, but rather prevent moisture from escaping your skin. There are a couple of things you can do to make them even more effective. For starters, try applying the substance after you’ve showered or done something as basic as washing your hands. To further retain the nourishing processes and make sure the lotion really does sink in, slip on a pair of cotton gloves afterward.

#5 Honey for Stubborn Patches

Some areas are more difficult to treat than others, such as the skin on your elbows or knees. The solution rests with a basic scrub based on honey and sugar. Honey has a bunch of nourishing properties and topically-applied sugar can increase circulation.

#6 Stay Hydrated

Last but not least, the key to winter skin care is hydration, particularly the one that works from the inside-out. We stress this out now because during wintertime, we tend to forget about water in favor of various hot drinks. It’s much more difficult to drink 2L of water daily, but you must try.

Wrapping Up

Winter skin care is ultimately all a matter of hydration and protection. Keep your moisturizer bottles near and remember to always wear scarves and gloves when venturing into the cold heart of winter.
