The Best Winter Skin Care Tips

1. Lemon juice mixed with water or apple cider vinegar can be an excellent face toner. Apply the toner with the help of a cotton ball and rinse well with cold water.
2. A great and comforting way to provide your whole body with much-needed hydration during the winter is with bath oils. Your skin absorbs the moisture from the oils, leaving your skin silky soft every time you step out of the tub.
3. Use a mild cleanser in winters since a strong cleanser can strip off oil the natural oil and make your skin dry. And limit the number of times you wash your face to three times a day at max.
4. Sunscreen: No, sunscreen isn’t just for summertime. Winter sun combined with snow glare can still damage your skin. Try applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen to your face and your hands (if they’re exposed) about 30 minutes before going outside. Reapply frequently if you stay outside a long time.
5. Dress appropriately for winter, in warm layered clothing. Wear gloves to keep your hands safe from wind and cold, which chafes and dries out skin. Shed any wet clothing and shoes immediately.
6. Exfoliation Recipe: To remove the dead skin from face, you would require exfoliation. A mixture of cornflakes (coarsely ground) with honey and milk can be an effective recipe.
7. Drink loads of water. We generally don’t get thirsty in winters and that is one of the main reasons for the dryness. Stays hydrated and drink loads of water no matter what.
8. Exercise regularly to increase circulation, especially in the winter when people generally spend more time indoors out of the cold.
