Skincare Practices To Follow In Winters

Winter is really not good for our skin because skin becomes dry, flaky, and itchy most of the time. But with correct skin care, it is possible to achieve flawless skin texture even in the freezing cold. It is the best way to keep the skin healthy and glowing in the dry climate. Here are some essential skincare practices to follow during the colder months. Key Factors That Contribute to Winter Skin Issues Besides, the winter climate is very unfriendly to the skins, as it makes them dry, flaky, and irritated. Here are the primary factors that contribute to these winter skin problems:  Cold Temperatures: For instance, cold weather is known to have a side effect of reducing skin natural oils, which if left exposed lead to skin dryness and sensitivity. Low Humidity: The dryness of air during the winter is made worse by the cold air, which would reduce the skin’s moisture content and make the skin dull and prone to cracking. Indoor Heating: Warmer temperatures can also be a cause of skin dryness because they are sources of heat and cause the humidity to reduce, thereby causing the skin to lose moisture. Wind: It is also known that skin lesions may worsen during a shower due to the strengthening of wind and upon increasing the number of washings. Reduced Sunlight Exposure: Vitamin D, which is essential for skin, is produced when the skin is exposed to light and therefore affects its elasticity when its production is truncated by less sunlight exposure. All of these work in synergy to put your skin under pressure, thus the need to be extra careful during the winter. Essential Winter Skincare Tips Here are some essential tips to keep your skin healthy and hydrated during the winter months:Here are some essential tips to keep your skin healthy and hydrated during the winter months: Moisturize Regularly Rich moisturisers: Choose moisturisers that are more cream-based than gel-type, as these creams deeply moisturise the skin. Layer your products: Use a serum or a toner before the moisturiser for better moisture to your skin. Don’t forget your body: Massage your body with body lotion or butter in order to ensure that your skin from your head to toe is well moisturised. Gentle Cleansing Avoid harsh soaps: It is important to use soap that is mild to the skin because this does not produce chemicals that will dry up the skin. Lukewarm water: However, it is advisable to use warm water rather than hot water on your skin to avoid dryness. Pat dry: Instead of rubbing, use your hand to pat your skin dry and do so gently. Exfoliate Regularly Gentle exfoliation: Choose a mild scrub that will help to eliminate the keratinized layers and stimulate the processes of proliferation of cells. Limit frequency: That’s why it is necessary to exfoliate your skin one or two times per week to minimize skin sensitivity. Protect from the Elements Sunscreen: That means that even during winter it is possible to receive skin-damaging impacts from UV rays. Wear sunscreen daily. Lip balm: Keep your lips protected from cold and wind by applying good lip balm to them. Hats and scarves: Use head and neck scarves and protect your head with hats in case the elements affect your face and neck. Hydrate from Within Drink plenty of water: One should also ensure that he or she takes a lot of water, as this is very important when it comes to our body system. Healthy diet: Take foods that are good for the skin, such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, so that your skin will be provided with the necessary requirements it needs. Humidifiers Indoor dryness: Take a little nugget and turn it into a large jar of water so that your home will not completely dry up during dry heating seasons. With that, just by following these simple tips, you too can do a lot in maintaining good skin and preventing skin dryness during winter.

Ideal Skin Care Routine for Oily Skin

As we know there are various skin types and every skin has to be looked after differently. Since, summer has arrived therefore people with oily skin must be worried now! So here is a guide and tips to take care of your oily skin during these months when the mercury levels are rising: CLEANSER: Washing face again and again to get rid of oil is a myth! Washing it too much will only make it produce more oil. Washing your face twice in a day is enough. You may also use a gel-based cleanser that contains sulphuric acid, tea tree oil and glycolic. MOISTURIZER: It’s a myth that you shouldn’t use moisturiser if you have oily skin but it is important to apply moisturiser on your face. Moisturisers don’t add moisture on your face but it actually retains skin moisture and prevents excess water loss on your skin. Use a water soluble, light, non-sticky moisturiser that can be easily absorbed in the skin.  SUNSCREEN: Sunscreen act as protection for your skin and prevents worsening of your skin If you already have acne marks, blemishes, scarring then it’s important to apply sunscreen on your face, whether you’re outdoor or indoor. It protects you from all the harmful effects of UV rays.  STOP TOUCHING YOUR FACE AGAIN AND AGAIN: Touching your face again and again can invite bacteria on your skin which may lead to more acne and irritation. You may use dry tissues to bloat excess oil from the skin.  WATCH OUT YOUR DIET AND STAY HYDRATED: Avoid eating food that may increase oil secretion in the skin like dairy products, white rice, sweets, etc. and drink ample amount of water to keep the skin detoxified. But there are also foods that would help you escape your acne especially foods with low-glycaemic made of complex carbohydrates, for example – whole grains, legumes, unprocessed foods and vegetables etc. PAMPER YOUR SKIN: Use natural ingredients and DIYs to make your skin feel happy. You can make a face mask by mixing 1 egg white with 1 tsp of lemon juice. Apply it on the face until it dries and then wash your face with warm water followed by pat drying. You can also use honey on the skin since it has good anti-bacterial properties and is beneficial for oily and acne prone skin. You may directly apply it on the face and rinse thoroughly with warm water after 10 minutes. By Lalita Arya, Vice President-Dermapuritys. Ideal Skin Care Routine for Oily Skin
