Looking after your skin this winter
It may be wise to stick with a particular pattern of skin care throughout the year. But in this case, you skin care routine should be twice as extensive due to the exposure of cold and hot temperatures. In order to protect your skin against the elements during the winter months, you need to be doing more than the basics.
The suggestion and help guide for providing nourishment and protection for your skin during extreme temperatures can be found below. When the skin cracks begin to appear during winter, it is too late to wonder why you neglected your skin.
To promote good winter habits, there are some practical things that can be done. However, it begins with preparation. Actions like moisturizing more frequently with products like Gatineau Nutriactive Nourishing Day Cream and taking warm showers, rather than piping hot showers. The winter skin care advice below is actually a check list to boost your winter skin care regimen and make it more effective:
- Keep a handy supply of pure Vitamin E, organic Lip Butter or Lip Balm
- Buy products that contain essential oils such as Aromatherapy Associates versus fragrance oils which contain a mix of unknown chemicals that encourage your skin to become dehydrated
- Purchase gel cleansers for cleaning your face and/or body. Foam cleansers are to be avoided because they have a habit of removing the natural oils present in the skin.
- Make sure that you have a good supply of cotton underwear (100%) which include your socks, as this will allow the free circulation of air, whilst woollen sweater will help to maintain the layer of warm air close to the body surface.
- When you buy skin care products, ensure that they don't contain any alcohol
- Add Flax seed oil to your diet as it encourages internal hydration along with other benefits to your health and well being.
- Put a humidifier on your Christmas list. A humidifier will help add moisture back to air that has been dehydrated by central heat.
- Treat yourself to some light tanning treatment at the Sun laboratories to give your skin a healthy glow.
