Everyone battles dry skin in the fall, heading into winter, regardless of skin type. The cold weather, combined with the dry inside air, means your skin needs extra moisturizing.
Here are 4 Tips for Fall and Winter Dry Skin to help reduce harmful effects on your face:
Don’t wash your face in the shower! Hot shower water strips moisture from your face. Instead, wash your face at the sink where you can control the water temperature.
Moisturize! During the winter months, use a facial cream that contains lavender oil, as it helps with inflammation and calms the skin. If you see red spots of inflammation after spending time outside, try a face cream that contains lavender oil. Â
Moisturize after wearing a face mask. Wearing a face mask adds a layer of protection between the winter wind and your skin, but it’s important to moisturize after removing it.
Reduce the number of times you wash your face each day. The more you wash your face, the drier it feels. Stick to washing your face at night and applying a nighttime moisturizer.
While the winter lasts, everyone battles dry skin. These 4 tips have been tried and tested with a variety of skin types to ensure that your battle with dry skin is short-lived.
