Don't Let Winter Ruin Your Skin

Winter for the most of us is the absolute worst time of the year. It does nothing but bad for our skin, especially our lips. Skin seems to dry out so much, and lips crack so easily and painfully. It is a plague we all have to go through each year, but there are ways of keeping your skin all over as healthy as possible. All you need to do is dedicate a bit of time to your body, and your body will look after you. If you’re feeling the effects of the colder months already, take a read to find out what you can do to salvage your rapidly deteriorating skin.

Moisturise

A lot of people don’t moisturise. They simply don’t have enough time, or have never had to do it before. They might rub a thin layer on the face before applying makeup, but for a lot of people that’s as far as it goes. But it does so much good for you, you really should be trying to make an effort to moisturise daily. It’ll help to stop skin from cracking easily, and it’ll help to keep you feeling fresh. That protective layer that you’re always missing will work wonders in no time. Pick a moisturiser that is specifically for dry skin. It’ll be longer lasting than a regular moisturiser and will do the job you need it to do.

Exfoliate

Our skin is full of dead skin cells, whether we like to think it is or not. Our skin rejuvenates daily, leaving a fresh layer of skin waiting to push through underneath. But simply washing your face each day isn’t going to clear your skin as you need it to. This is where exfoliating comes into play. It removes that layer leaving your skin feeling, and looking, very fresh. If you’re looking for more information on the benefits of exfoliating, check out websites such as Exfoliate.com. It isn’t just your face that needs it, the rest of your body does too, especially during the colder weather. That dry skin your beginning to notice will only fully disappear with the combination of exfoliation and moisturisation. Exfoliate when you’re in the shower, moisturise when you’re out, it’ll leave you with such soft skin, leaving you feeling brand new.

Wrap Up Warm

Often we feel the effects of the colder weather so much more due to the fact we chose fashion over warmth. People still want round with thin coats on, leggings, and hardly any coverage from the elements. Within minutes your face will be cold and start to crack, not what you want. Wrap up with a big winter coat, a woolly hat, some gloves, and even some ear muffs. Keeping your skin warm is exactly what it needs to stay fresh. If not, all the hard work you will have done with the exfoliation and the moisturisation will have been for nothing. Your feet are just as likely to become cracked and dry, so make sure you protect them with fluffy socks and some suitable footwear. Dolly shoes are not the one for winter.
