Winter is here, and it’s time to start thinking about protecting your skin. Most women understand the importance of moisturizing in the summer, but they forget all about it when winter comes around. Winter weather can be harsh on your skin, so you have to take precautions to keep your skin looking young and healthy. If you don’t already have a regimen for winter skincare, read on. We’ll give you ways that will help protect your skin from dryness this winter.

There is nothing worse than having dry winter skin. It makes you look and feel older and can even lead to more serious problems like eczema if not correctly taken care of. Luckily, there are a few easy ways to prevent dry winter skin this season.

Skincare routine for cold climates

As the weather cools down and winter approaches, it’s important to keep your skin moisturized. In addition to wearing warm clothing and drinking lots of fluids, you can also incorporate these tips into your daily routine:

  • Apply a moisturizer after every shower or bath. Look for lotions that contain dimethicone as an ingredient – it forms a protective barrier over the skin that locks in moisture.
  • Use a deep cleansing face wash to remove dirt and other impurities from your pores. This will help clear away dead cells on the skin’s surface so they don’t have time to dry out before being sloughed off naturally during exfoliation sessions. Avoid products containing glycolic acid or retinol.
  • Drink lots of water throughout the day to help maintain healthy skin cells.
  • Wear gloves outside so that your hands don’t get too cold and wind-chapped, especially if they’re frequently in contact with water, such as when washing dishes or cleaning the shower/bathtub after use (which I know we all do).
  • Apply moisturizer often – even if you have oily or combination skin.

Tips for healthy winter skin

With the winter season comes dry skin. There are several helpful ways to prevent this, including lotions and other products that you can apply topically to your skin. It is also important to drink plenty of water during these cold months. This will help keep your body hydrated from within, preventing dryness overall.

Winter is coming, which means that there are a lot of changes in the air. From changing leaves to getting ready for holiday festivities, winter is one of my favorite seasons. However, it can also be tough on our skin because of dryness and cold weather. Here are some ways you can prevent dry winter skin this year.

During the winter, many people are concerned with keeping warm and staying dry. Unfortunately, this often leads to neglecting skincare. When you forget to moisturize your skin in the winter months, it can lead to flaky or scaly patches of skin that may be embarrassing when they show through clothing. While there are many products available for combating these issues, there are also some simple ways you can keep your skin hydrated without spending a lot of money.
