WINTER’S ALREADY HERE AND……<\/p>\n
This season ushers crisp mornings and frosty nights …streets, covered with dry leaves, and cool breeze tingling your face. But with all these pleasures also show up dry skin, chapped lips and flaky scalp. The worry is to maintain healthy and vital-looking skin. Low temperature and humidity, indoor heating, dry recycled air and outdoor exposure can make skin lose its moist, healthy glow.<\/p>\n
• Use a humidifier in the bedroom or living room once the relative humidity inside drops below 60 percent.
Remember to clean your humidifier to avoid bacterial build-up.
• don’t overheat your home. Excessive heat draws moisture out of the skin.
• Avoid sleeping with an electric blanket.
• don’t take hot showers. Take a lukewarm shower instead, then pat your skin dry with a towel and
apply a moisturizer within three minutes of stepping out of the shower to lock in moisture.
• don’t use shower gel in the winter. Shower gels have high alcohol content and will dry your skin.
Deodorant soaps may also be
too harsh. Use a mild soap that is fragrance-free or contains moisturizing ingredients. Try Dove bar soap
for sensitive skin, or even aqueous soap which is just as good.
• Condition your skin with in-shower body lotions. Use these immediately after you have cleansed with
your soap or body wash. They will lock in moisture. Rinse off and pat dry. Constantly moisturize. Apply
lotion after you wash your hands and moisturize skin again before you go to bed. Wear light cotton
socks and gloves after applying lotion or cream for very dry, cracked skin.<\/div>\n
