Skin care tips for winter
Using baby oil to remove make-up is great but wash your face well with soap and water afterward or also your pores will get clogged.
The skin on your feet tends to dry and crack more in winter. Treat your feet to a relaxing soak at night, three times a week.
Do not bathe or shower in very hot water. Warm water is much gentler on your skin.
Do not bathe more than once a day if your skin is very dry.
If you develop severely dry skin, eczema, or "winter itch," see your dermatologist. He or she can prescribe a mild steroid cream or other treatment to restore your skin to good health.
Avoid exposing skin to harsh winter elements such as freezing temperatures and drying cold winds.
If you are using a product with tretinoin, such as Retin-A or Renova, be especially vigilant about wearing sunscreen you are more liable to sustain sunburn.
If you have sensitive skin, you may need to cut back on using sloughing products such as alpha-hydroxy acids, as they may exacerbate dry, irritated skin.
Apply the moisturizer at least twice a day, once after your cleansing routine in the morning and again before you go to bed. Always apply moisturizer on clean skin.
Your hands can also benefit from the application of the moisturizer.
With the heat on and the windows closed, the air inside can become very dry in the winter, making the dryness and itching of eczema even worse. Use a humidifier to place moisture in the air. If you don't want to invest in an expensive humidifying system, smaller, relatively inexpensive humidifiers can be obtained at a local drug store. Placing two or three of these around your home will help to humidify the dry air. This can keep skin from drying and becoming cracked and itchy.
Dietary changes may also help your skin. Refrain or cut back on caffeine and increase your water intake especially during cold windy conditions. Replace bad hardening fats with healthy oils in cooking. Keep the system from stagnating with warming foods and hot teas. Food and drinks with cold energetic slow metabolism and circulation causing congestion through out the body, including the skin.
