Seven simple tips to keep your skin soft and supple this winter
Winter is notoriously hard on the skin. Chapped lips, cracked elbows and itchy dry skin is a common complaint. Dry, cold air is the cause. With a few simple tips, you can stay ahead of the season and enjoy a soft skin all winter long.
# 1. Remember sunscreen
While temperatures are cold and your skin is covered with long sleeves and pants, you can still get too much sun. In fact, some of the worst sunburns occur in the winter. Make daily sunscreen a part of your morning routine. Cover your face, your chest and even the back of your hands with sunscreen. Ideally, he will have an SPF of 30 or more.
# 2. Combine facial care products
Too many products on your face can seem heavy. The moisturizer is essential for almost all skin types. Combine your sunscreen and moisturizer for the face. It's a great way to protect your skin from the sun and keep it hydrated.
# 3. Skin care after the shower
Winters are notoriously dry. Cold temperatures seem to extract moisture from the air and from your skin. One way to protect your skin is to apply a moisturizer on your body just after you have wiped it off. Your skin will stay soft all day.
# 4. Essential oils
If you like to take a bath, consider adding essential oils to your bath. The oils will bond to your skin and help keep your body hydrated. There are oils specially designed for the bath. They usually contain grape seed oil associated with fragrant oils such as lavender, sandalwood or citrus fruits.
# 5. First Aid for very arid areas
The feet, elbows and knees tend to become particularly dry during the winter months. Apply a thick moisturizer on these areas before going to bed. You can apply a thick layer of cream on your feet and then put socks on. The socks will hold moisture against your feet.
# 6. Love the lips
The wind, the sun and the dry air can all work together to style your lips. Chapped lips are not just a nuisance, they hurt. They can crack and bleed. Some sticks work better than others. Find a moisturizing formula that works for you. The best lip treatments also have sunscreen for double protection.
#seven. Hand therapy
Hot paraffin wax treatments can turn dry, chapped hands into soft, supple hands. You can go to a spa to follow the treatment. You can also buy small units of paraffin wax for your personal use. They cost about $ 40. The wax is usually sold separately but can be used several times. Just melt the wax, let it cool to the proper temperature and dip your hand into the hot wax. You remove your hand from the wax, slip it into a plastic bag or glove and wait. When the time is up, remove the wax and enjoy the gentle hands of your baby.
