With winter just around the corner, we must prepare our skin for harsher weather conditions. During the cooler months of the year, we endure strong gusts of wind, rain, and snow depending on where you live. There are several things you can do to make sure that you don’t deal with irritated, cracked skin. Here are a few ways to improve your winter skincare routine:
Avoid Long, Hot Showers/Baths
Even though the freezing weather outside might make a hot, steaming shower sound amazing… the consequences it has on your skin are detrimental. The problem with taking hot showers or baths is that the high temperature dries out your skin. If you shower with hot water consistently, you may deal with extreme dry skin that leads to more serious conditions like eczema or psoriasis breakouts. Try keeping the water lukewarm to protect your skin's natural barrier. Warming yourself up with heating blankets and sweaters is a better alternative!
Use a Humidifier
If you tend to blast your heater during the winter, this can suck out all the moisture and humidity in the air. When you’re trapped inside with dry, hot air it’s beneficial to use a humidifier to restore balance. Moisture overall improves air quality for you and your pets. In addition to keeping your skin hydrated, humidifiers help prevent snoring and the spread of airborne viruses. There’s no better time to use one than now!
Wear Protective Clothing
When you go outside and encounter harsh weather, environmental aggressors will pose a threat to your skin and body. If you want to avoid getting chapped, cracked skin, it’s important to wear protective gear such as sunglasses, hats, long sleeved shirts, pants, and shoes that cover your extremities. You will thank yourself later!
