Winter Proof your Skin: Keep it Hydrated and Moisturized

Rough weather conditions during winters have an adverse affect on our skin. This is why it needs better protection and care during winters. Here are some tricks that are sure to help you:

Moisturize often

Begin your day by moisturizing the body right after a shower (this helps lock in some extra moisturizer). Also, moisturize the face repeatedly through the day to keep it soft and supple.

Avoid hot showers

With the weather already so dry during the winters having a hot water shower is the last thing you should do. It will steal more moisture from the skin and leave it wrinkled and parched. 

Oiling before you sleep

Oiling the skin before you sleep is a good way of replenishing the moisture of your skin. Use any natural oil such as coconut, olive oil, lavender oil, etc.

Use glycerin and petroleum Jelly

For body parts like the hands, feet, elbows and knees that remain drier than other parts, use glycerin or petroleum jelly. These products will moisturize and heal the skin cracks quickly.
