Winter Skin Care Tips

In freezing conditions of the winter, the cold can cause your skin red itchy marks and dryness. Winter can even make nice moisturised skin dry and irritated. We have convinced ourselves with wearing layers of clothes we can protect our skin from cold conditions. This is not entirely true we still have to moisturise our skin if we do not want the skin to go dry in the winter. Here are some advice on what you can do to protect your skin in winter.

Drinking plenty of water keeps our organs hydrated and the biggest organ we have in our body is the skin. Drinking lots of water also keeps our skin moisturised from inside. When we do activities which makes our body sweat, it is very essential for us to replace the water we have lost through our skin.

Apply creams and lotions in your skin before going to bed. We apply moisturising lotions before we go to work but sometimes we forget to apply it at nights before we sleep. Activities throughout the day reduce the moisture in the skin and this will continue if we do not moisturise our skin at nights. You will be able to see the lack of moisture in your skin when your feet starts drying and cracking up.

Use humidifiers in your home, because the air in winter can be very dry. As the heater is almost on all day and night long it can cause drying effect on your skin, you will also feel your nasal passages getting dryer. To add bits of moisture to the air invest in humidifiers in Germany we call it luftbefeuchter.

Take showers with cool water. I know we all want to shower in hot water in freezing condition but it does not do any good to our skin, use cool water for shower so that it does not let our skin dry.
