Dos and Don’ts for Winter Skin

Lack of moisture in the skin during the winter season causes cracking, chapping and irritation. People don’t realize the health threats associated with the glaring sun and bitter cold temperatures of the winter season. At times, the wind and sun combination is so harmful that it can cause serious burns and skin conditions such as eczema.

Tips for a healthy glow skin

• Moisturize:- It’s best to apply moisturizer directly after a bath or shower to help seal in and replenish the skin with the necessary water and oils.
• Pamper Your Hands:- Nails can also become brittle; gloves can also help eliminate cracked and splitting cuticles and nails.
• Don’t Forget the Sunscreen:- Since the snow reflects sunlight, the ultraviolet rays of the sun during the winter are still strong. Participating in winter recreational activities without applying sunscreen may result in severe burns.
• Don't: Lick lips:-Contrary to instinct, quenching your thirsty lips with saliva will only make matters worse. Grease them up with an oil-based balm in order to stave off cracks.
• Avoid processed food:- After a month of holiday dinner table gorging and office snacking, your body could use a rest. All those fatty foods and sweets can result in dull, tired-looking skin. Integrate lean proteins like fish with omega-3 acids into your diet.
