Winter is one of the harshest seasons your skin has to face.
Cold weather steals moisture from the air and in return your skin becomes dry,
your lips can crack and even bleed. Staying
inside isn’t the answer either. Heat
inside robs you of moisture. How can
we still have kissable lips in the winter?
Supple softness all over our body?
Well here are some pointers to get through this season of
dryness!
When you wash your face and hands use lukewarm water and
then moisturize right after. It will seal in moisture. Go for an oil-based moisturizer over a
water-based one.
At night moisturize your hands, feet, elbows and knees
because the skin is thinner in these areas. Just slather on moisturizer.
Exfoliate the skin to get rid of those dead cells. Use an
exfoliating mask and use it on your hands and face. When showering or bathing use an exfoliating
body wash.
Use natural ingredients like honey, avocado, yogurt, olive
and jojoba oils, almond oil and bananas and aloe. Mix what you like and create
your own mask living it on for 10-30 minutes to help hydrate your skin. Check out these recipes. http://www.rd.com/slideshows/homemade-facial-masks-recipes/
Avoid toxins and irritants that can be found in chemical
laden detergents. If you have allergies avoid those things that make you itch
and can lead to damaging the skin like wool sweaters. If you have wool gloves – sooo sooo warm, line
them with cotton gloves.
Wear sunscreen winter sun is just as dangerous as summer sun
and still can damage your skin. And always wear gloves and scarves to protect
your skin from the cold and snow. Inside
use a humidifier especially in your bedroom.
So now you have the
secret to supple skin in the winter. Off
you go out in the winter sun to build a snowman and your skin is amazingly
kissable.
