The winter season is cruel to the skin. The dry winter wind and low humidity make the skin itchy, flaky and dry. Added to this the indoor heat and hot showers further remove the moisture from the skin leading to bleeding and cracking of the skin. Thus, for keeping your skin supple and glowing during the winter months, follow these tips.

Use Tepid Water:

Always use lukewarm water for washing your face as hot water can remove the natural oil from your skin leaving it dry and flaky.

Moisturize Your Skin After Washing:

You need to apply moisture to your skin soon after washing it as the damp skin can lock in the moisturizer better. You can use the Cetaphil Daily Facial Moisturizer, which is non-greasy and infused with SPF 15 for protecting you from the harmful UV rays of the sun. Therefore, you can use this moisturizer outdoors as well.

Use Sunblock Outdoors:

Protect your skin from the biting cold winds with scarves, caps, socks, jackets etc. Always remember to apply a sun block when you go outdoors for protecting your skin from the UV rays. You can try the Alba Botanica Very Emollient Mineral Protection Sunblock with Organic Lavender. This sunblock is infused with, aloe vera, organic lavender, chamomile, green tea and ginkgo biloba that repairs, soothes and protects the skin.

Overnight Moisturize:

Areas of the body such as feet, knees elbows, hands, have thin skin and loses moisture quickly. Therefore, it is advised to use a cream-based moisturizer such as Alba Botanica Hawaiian Body Cream Coconut Milk that is infused with vanilla, guava, aloe, papaya, kukui mango extracts, macadamia oils, and shea butter. This beta-carotene rich cream soothes, softens and smooth dry skin.

Follow these suggestions for maintaining a healthy and youthful skin all through the winter months.
