A mention of winters brings along images and memories of cups of piping hot tea, soups, and lazy mornings bundled up in warm layers, sitting around cozy campfires in the evenings, and munching hot delicacies. What also comes along is dry skin and frizzy hair with a dandruff coated scalp. The dry winter makes it difficult for your skin and hair to retain moisture, making them cracked, brittle, and more susceptible to damage. But rest assured these winter problems can be avoided with the correct skin and hair care routine. Proper care for your skin and hair in these cold months can help you keep your skin shine and tresses flowing.
Follow regular skin routine
Always follow the basic skincare routine of CTR that is - cleansing, toning & moisturizing during the winter season. The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the dryness of skin due to more usage of soap or alcohol-based hand rub. Do not forget to apply moisturizer after washing your hands and face to reduce skin damage.
Hot tip: Moisturizing on damp skin provides longer effectiveness.
Apply sunscreen
Sitting under the sun and soaking the sunrays during winters is a favourite part-time for all. But even the mild sunrays contain Ultra-Violet (UV) radiations which can cause various skin problems. Hence, it’s necessary to take proper care of the skin with a good quality sunscreen lotion. Next time when you venture out on a sunny day, make sure to apply sunscreen on your skin.
