Winter can be harsh for skin care. It is really important to take care of your skin in winter to keep it healthy, hydrated, moisturized, and clean. Skin often becomes dry in winter due to cold wind. So, it becomes really essential to take care of your skin during winter.

There are some tips to be followed to take care of your skin during winter.

•  Keeping your skin hydrated:  It is really important to keep your skin hydrated in winter and moisturize to keep it fresh and radiant. You can use natural moisturizers like coconut oil, yoghurt, cucumber, etc.
• Drink enough water daily: Drinking water is really essential for maintaining healthy skin. It keeps the skin hydrated and bright without dullness.
• Wash your face with lukewarm water: Bathing with hot water relaxes the muscles but at the same time it is not good for your skin and makes it dry and rough. Therefore, we should wash our face with lukewarm water as it keeps the skin moisturized and allows the skin to produce natural skin oils.
• Avoid chemical-free skin products: Skin products infused with chemicals are harmful to the skin. Hence, chemical-free products like soaps, and creams should be used to keep healthy, glowing skin.
• Use lip balm: Use lip balm for your dry lips in winter. It helps in moisturizing the dry and cracked lips.
• Adequate sleep: Adequate sleep is very important for a refreshing, healthy skin. A consistent sleep cycle is good for your overall body health and helps to achieve good healthy, brighter skin.
•  Apply sunscreen: Use sunscreen throughout the year to protect your face from harmful rays of the sun. Sunscreen forms a layer on the skin and protects it from UV rays.
• Guidance of screen care expert: One should take guidance from a skincare expert to achieve healthy and brighter skin goals.

Things and habits to avoid for healthy skin:

• Do not wash your face too often: Washing your face too often makes it look dry and is not good for the skin. Instead, just wash your face twice a day for better and healthier skin.
•  Avoid chemical-infused products: For healthier skin, avoid using chemical-infused skin products like soap, creams, and lotions that contain harsh chemicals. These products are not good for your skin and promote dry skin.
• Avoid taking prolonged hot baths: We should avoid taking prolonged hot baths because they disable the natural oil produced by our skin and also make it dry. Instead, we should use lukewarm water to rinse and wash our face.
• Avoid scratching of dry skin: Avoid scratching of dry skin as it can further deteriorate your condition.
• Avoid over-cleansing: Avoid over-cleansing your skin as it washes away all the natural oil produced by the skin and in return causes dry, itchy skin.
