Skin care in summer season is easy and can be easily done whereas skin care in winter is bit difficult as skin in winters gets dry and rough.


Here are some tips for how to take care of skin in winter season:

Use proper cream and moisturizer regularly. Skin in winter becomes dry and so it is of utmost priority to make skin smooth and for that you should use moisturizer after taking a bath and before going to sleep. Moisturizer should be oil-based one as it will help to regain the body oils. Also it will keep the skin soft.
Avoid having longer hot-water bath. This hot-water fetches away all the oils from skin and leaves it rough. So to maintain natural oils of your body, duration of your bath should be reduced or you can take a bath with lukewarm water.
You can mix olive oil or some other soothing oil in the water with which you will take bath. This will help to retain the oils of the skin and will make it smooth.
In winter season, content of moisture in air is less. This small content leads to dry skin. You can use humidifiers at home or offices which will help you maintain the moisture level of your skin and thus your skin won’t dry out.
Water keeps the condition of skin intact. So, it becomes necessary to hydrate your skin if you want that your skin should remain soft and smooth. Therefore, you should drink water regularly in large amount.
Exfoliate your skin at least twice a week in winter season. This will help to remove dead skin cells from the skin and will make it soft and glowy once again. Also the moisture content of the skin will increase due to exfoliation.
For lip care, proper lip balm or lip oil or petroleum jelly should be used. Don’t lick your lips frequently. This will help to maintain the shine of your lips and also they won’t get rough.
In winter season, it is advisable not to keep your hands in water or some other chemical liquid for much time. If you do then they will become hard and the skin on it will crack easily. To prevent this you should wear gloves as they will protect your hands from getting rough.
Sunscreen lotion/moisturizer is not only meant to be used in summer season. Though in winter sun rays are not very strong, but they are strong enough to harm your skin. So, sunscreen lotion should be used in winter season also as it will protect skin from UV rays of sun.
Scalp loose moisture and eventually becomes dry in winters. So it is necessary to maintain the condition of scalp because if it becomes drier then it will result in dandruff. Therefore to protect the scalp from getting drier, it is advisable to wear a hat or scarf on the head. Also make sure that you don’t tie it tightly as it will result in increasing roughness of the hair. You can also apply olive oil and give massage to your scalp.
