Maintain the wonder of skin in winter.

 Maintain the wonder of skin in winter. 

Ensure the use of standard moisturizers for skin protection and care in cold weather, and pay special attention to hands and feet.

As the cold and dry winds start blowing in winters, household women become victims of dryness on their faces and hands, and their feet start cracking, which makes them feel very uncomfortable and restless. Besides complaints of cracked lips, itching and dryness, most people also start using new (anti-dandruff) dryness-proof shampoos to keep their hair dry and lifeless, and to prevent hair fall because dryness and hair fall are very common issues in winters.

The dry and cold winds that blow in the winter season pull all the moisture present in the air inside, and if our skin does not receive suitable moisture, then the skin becomes dry, and tension and itching start to occur throughout the skin. This is why after doing any work, hands suddenly become dry, and moisturizing them becomes necessary.

The lack of moisture in the air is a significant reason for damaging the skin, and it is evident that it is the beginning of harming the skin.

In winters, we should use moisturizing cream regularly to keep our skin soft, and especially after doing any work, we should apply cream on our hands and feet properly. In winters, people prefer taking a bath with very hot water, which causes dryness and discomfort in the skin. We should avoid doing this and use lukewarm water instead.

According to experts, to protect your skin from drying out during winters, use moisturizing cream during the day and cold cream at night. Experts say that moisturizers contain an appropriate amount of oil and water, and due to the proper amount of water, the skin does not feel sticky. While any kind of cream, oil, Vaseline or petroleum jelly is beneficial for the skin, it makes it greasy, so it is better to use it before going to bed at night.

Usually, people with normal skin do not need much care or attention during winters, but those with dry skin become prone to various skin problems and allergies. Those suffering from eczema feel quite uncomfortable in winters because the dry cold air eliminates moisture from the skin.

Experts recommend such people to use moisturizer not only once but two or three times a day during winters, and also apply a sufficient amount of night cream before sleeping. 

In addition, massage your skin with oil twice a week before taking a bath. After taking a bath, moisturize your skin thoroughly so that it remains moisturized. Those with dry skin should choose a cream that contains hygroscopic, which can retain the moisturizer present in the skin.

Protecting skin using natural ingredients

In ancient times, the use of oatmeal was very common as it contains proteins and lipids that are excellent moisturizers for the skin. Regular use of plain oatmeal makes the skin soft and healthy. The use of quinoa husks and milk cleanses the skin and makes the face fresh and radiant.

Apart from facial skin, it can be used on the entire body, which eliminates the harmful effects of soap, especially for those with dry skin. Therefore, use soap as little as possible whenever possible.

In the old days, housewives used natural ingredients in the kitchen for beauty care, and the best moisturizer is found in all vegetable oils. Massage with oil before bathing was also considered necessary, while nowadays, glycerin or petroleum jelly is preferred.

This is a great method, but it is only suitable for the soles of the feet and lips, otherwise, it can leave the entire body feeling sticky and uncomfortable, causing restlessness.

In addition to all the methods mentioned, another important factor in preventing skin dryness is the use of a complete healthy diet that plays an important role in keeping the skin soft and moisturized.

Use foods that contain enough antioxidants, such as fresh fruits and vegetables. For example, carrots and leafy vegetables contain a large amount of antioxidants.
