Winters bring cozy clothes and hot chocolates with them, but there is also a lack of moisture in the air which eventually affects your skin. You need to take care of your hands, feet, and face as they tend to be exposed to cold temperatures.
What should you do?
Now that you know why you need to take care of your hands and feet let's learn how to do it effectively.
- Keep them moisturized: It is the basic yet essential thing you need to do in winter. Cold airstrips off the moisture from the skin, so using a moisturizer with thick consistency will provide the necessary nourishment. Aloe vera gel works effectively for dry skin.
- Humidifier: While heaters are a source of comfort during winter, their dry air affects the skin similarly to cold air. Investing in a humidifier might be an ideal thing to do as it will not cause any flakiness and maintain moisture.
- Keep them covered: Wearing woollen gloves and socks will prevent cold air from touching your skin directly. It helps them keep warm and prevents dryness to some extent.
- Exfoliate: Exfoliation will help remove the dead skin cells, but too much exfoliation will cause dryness. You should exfoliate regularly but not frequently and make sure that you moisturize appropriately after it.
What shouldn't you do?
Here are a few things which you should avoid doing in winter
- Hot showers: While it is comfortable to take hot showers, they are not suitable for your skin. Lukewarm water is a better choice and will not destroy lipid barriers.
- Sulphate-containing products: Sulphate-containing products are not suitable for use in any weather, but they are more damaging in winter.
- Heavy make-up: If you suffer from dry skin, applying too much makeup is unsuitable for you as it deteriorates your skin quality.
