Winter is the season for those cozy movie nights and enjoying hobbies such as skiing in the lap of nature. However, our skin demands extra care during the winters because the cold and harsh weather steals away the moisture. Apart from maintaining the moisture balance, winters are the time when you would like to be under the sun more often, and when you get a chance you may end up exposing your skin to the harmful rays. So essentially, it is the winters when we want to invest in the good sun protection protects and so on.

With the change in the weather, the needs of our skin also change and therefore skincare products should be chosen wisely. Here are a few tips to help you out in taking the right care of your skin during the winters.

Our skin needs loads of moisture during the dry winter season. If throughout the day you do not feel like using a lot of moisture then go for something light weight, then include a good moisturiser in your night skincare routine. Similarly, your skin type is an important factor to consider before selecting the skincare product during the winters.

If you underestimated the benefits of regular exfoliation then now is the time to include it in your skincare routine during the winters. During the winters, you might experience flaky skin and dry skin. To keep the skin moisturised, exfoliation is extremely important to remove the flakiness. It is because the application of moisture on the dead skin will not reach the layers underneath thereby making your skin dry frequently.

Well, we know that sunbathing during the winters feels like a luxury in the lap of the nature. While sun light is good for our body for the proper balance of Vitamin D, the harmful UV rays might damage the skin if exposed for the longer hours. One way to avoid the harmful rays is to apply a lot of sunscreen lotion before stepping out. You can enjoy the sun by ensuring that issues like pigmentation and sunburn do not occur. Just like our overall skin, lips also need special care from the sun and therefore do not skip a good SPF lip balm.

Winters bring various health problems such as flu but that’s not all. The season is known for bringing an assortment of healthy and vitamin rich food and veggies. To maintain the right balance, make sure that you eat the locally sourced veggies, fruits and cereals available during the winter season. Dieticians across the world recommend including locally sourced food products to remain healthy irrespective of the season and weather
