1. Daily hot shower
A hot shower every day is important for the hygiene of your skin. Apply moisturizing cream as soon as you towel off after stepping out of the shower. By doing this you seal in the moisture.
2. MOISTURIZER
For your day cream, look for one that contains zinc oxide and SPF 30 protection. Good moisturizers should be creamier and water-in-oil emulsions that form a protective barrier against the elements.
3. LIP CARE
Use a lip balm to keep the lips moist prevent them from drying out.
3 things to look for in a good lip balm:
- Moisturizes well
- Provides a barrier and protects
- Contains vitamin E
4. HANDS & FINGERS
One concern of winter is dry hands and cracking fingers. The dryness of air causes water to evaporate very quickly. As the evaporates, it takes the moisture from skin with it, so exposure to water actually dehydrates the skin faster. Simple hand creams are recommended to help protect against the elements and retain moisture.
5. DRINKING LOTS OF WATER
Drinking lots of water will help prevent dehydration and also help to detoxify your liver and gall bladder. This means that your body will be able to clean the blood faster to get rid of toxins that contribute to bad skin.
6. SLEEP
Sleep is when your body rejuvenates itself. If you do not get sufficient sleep, your body and your cells (including the cells in your skin) will not have a chance to be renewed as quickly. Seven, if not eight hours of rest a night is recommended.
7. SUN PREOTECTION
The sun doesn’t go away just because it is snowing or cloudy! Continue to use a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 that protects against both UVA and UVB. This is an important step in you daily winter skin care regime.
