WINTER SKIN CARE TIPS FOR WOMEN

Winter skincare requires adjustments in your beauty routine, but not a complete desertion of the products you use on your face. Winter weather affects your skin in several ways. Dry skin is the most common result of seasonal weathering. This leads to rough, cracked skin that can feel tight and uncomfortable. The obvious solution might seem to be to getting in out of the cold, but during the winter months, indoor heating systems dry inside air, too. Let us see how best we could deal with some winter skin care tips. 

1) Moisturizing

Choose a moisturizer that's oil-based, rather than water-based, as the oil will create a protective layer on the skin that retains more moisture than a cream or lotion. But all oils are not appropriate for face,so look for "no clogging" oils, like avocado oil, mineral oil, primrose oil, or almond oil. The right moisturizer can replenish water to help protect your face without leading to breakouts.

2) Use a Sunscreen

Apply sunscreen every morning after washing your face. No, sunscreen isn't just for summertime. Winter suns combined with snowstorm glower can still damage your skin. Remember to put sunscreen on 30 minutes before you leave the house so your skin is protected.

3) Drinking Water

Drink lot of water and stay hydrated. Water should be a priority in spite of a cold weather. Do not think that it is only during summer that one has to be hydrated. Winter skin care requires your skin to be hydrated and moisturized well and this is possible only by drinking lot of water. This is a very simple, but beneficial tip for people wanting to maintain healthy skin in winter.

4) Avoid Petroleum

Do not forget that your lips too can get dry. Keep balm with you and apply often as the temperature drops. I suggest avoiding products that contain petroleum as it can clog the pores in your lips, making it hard for the moisture to get where it needs to be.

5) Facial

Firstly, get a facial done regularly.Getting a facial is a great way to clear out your skin and start a new season with a clean slate. As the climate changes,so does our skin and an aesthetician can help ease the transition. Starting with healthier, cleaner skin allows your cold weather skin-care routine to be more effective.

6) Skin Protection

Protection is the main way to keep the skin healthy and supple during winter. Wrap yourself in a heavy jacket and cover with warm clothing and it shouldn't be any different with our skin. This would protect the other parts of the body but basic skin needs a protection first. This is available in the form of heavy creams and lotions that help to keep the skin warm and well protected.

**Acne Tips

If you need help controlling acne during the winter, use products with salicylic acid instead of benzyl peroxide. Salicylic acid tends to be less drying, but can still decrease irritation. Try applying a salicylic acid-containing toner once a day after cleansing.
