If it’s one thing that’s bad for the skin, its a fluctuation in temperature, and that’s what makes January a very testing time for people who spend work in doors, with the heating on full blast, and have to deal with play time out in the wintry cold.
Here then, are 10 top tips for taking care of your precious skin.
Hydrate
It sounds really simple, but drinking water is seriously good for your skin; like you, your skin gets thirsty, and it dries up. Dry skin causes all kinds of blemishes, and – particularly in this hot and cold conundrum – can make your skin look worn and cracked. So drink plenty of water and reap the benefits!
Get Moisture!
In the dry cold climate it’s good to try and get a bit of moisture into the work and the home. Investing in a humidifier might sound odd and a little geeky, but it really can work wonders; getting that moisture back to your skin is a really useful thing.
Make sure to Exfoliate
Old, dead cells will make skin look old and dead. Giving the skin a good exfoliating scrub removes those dead cells. It invigorates and regenerates the look of your skin, and is a good combatant in the war against those cold nasties.
Use a Moisturiser
Really, you should make sure that the moisturiser you use is oil based, or it may still dry out the skin. If it doesn’t, then it might still dry out your skin.If it’s at least 75% oil-based, though, it should do the trick. In combination with exfoliation, a good moisturiser works a treat.
Sun Lotion
True, it sounds weird to recommend sun lotion during cold weather. But the truth is, sunscreen protects the skin from a number of elements, and a number of those are still prevalent in the cold,; the sun doesn’t go away just because it’s winter! and that, combined with other elements, takes its toll on the skin, but can be negated by a bit of sunscreen.
Wear Gloves
Effective and simple. but easy to forget! it keeps the hands nice and warm, and shields them from the potential harm of fluctuating hot and cold weather and temperatures.
Getting Plenty of Flaxseed Oil
Does the work of a moisturiser, but on the inside of the body. It has some good vital acids and really does the body – and naturally, then, the skin – real good. Doesn’t taste great, but we all have to make sacrifices!
Using Oils in the Bath
just a couple of drops of moisturising oils in the bath can go a long way to helping the skin stay smooth.
Avoid the Blow Drier
This is not good for winter, so avoid it if you can! Try the messy look, or the waxy look; great skin and original hair never goes amiss, right?
Don’t Lick your Lips!
Like eating a doughnut and not getting rid of the sugar, not licking your lips during winter is very very difficult. But it does not help, not one bit. Avoid it at all costs! Your lips will be all the better. Simply keep a lip balm handy.
So there you have it. Take these tips, and go forth!
