"Putting a Halt to
Winter Skin Concerns" |
| When
the temperature outside drops and the temperature inside rises, your skin
is a target for dryness. Low humidity, coupled with heavier clothing and
longer, hotter showers and baths can leave your skin feeling dry and
itchy. Your skin is stripped of moisture during the cold winter months,
which is why it is so important to seal moisture into the skin to prevent
dryness. This is the perfect time of year to adjust your skin care and
moisturizing routine. The
skin is made up of several layers of cells and thousands of oil glands.
The oil that the glands produce keeps the skin from losing moisture and
makes it supple and soft. However,
the skin is in need of a step up, to boost the moisture levels in the
winter. Depending on your living environments humidity, you will also want
to apply a hydrating masque to help restore suppleness. Drinking enough
water daily, and putting a humidifier in your home, will also help prevent
dehydration. One
of winter's most profound effects on the skin is to slow the skin renewal
process, leaving your complexion looking dull and maybe even a little
congested. Bring your skin out of hibernation with an exfoliation
treatment. Another tip for
dehydrated skin, is to spray a mist over face throughout the day as needed
to hydrate your skin. (Pour
some purified water into a pump bottle that has a fine mist sprayer) Also,
if you are suddenly noticing fine lines around the eye area? Don't be
alarmed, chances are good that they are the result of dehydration, and can
be alleviated by a little extra moisture. I have provided some tips to get
you through the winter months. Winter
