Winters are harsh on everyone, especially our skin. The more delicate it is the more sensitive it is too cold weather.  So here we are to rescue your skin from the hard winter dryness that makes you look dull and gloomy. Below are some tips to help you get through the winters.

·        Buy a humidifier

Moisture is essential during the winters.  The air inside your home becomes dry due to the heating systems. As you turn the heat on, the air dries which in turn dries up your skin. Invest in a humidifier to keep the moisture in the air.

You can choose from cool misted or heated humidifiers. If you want a soothing scent in the air you can add few drops of natural essential oils to the water. For a bedroom you can buy a single room humidifier and for living room and other shared spaces buy a family-sized humidifier. When the air contains the right amount of moisture your skin will also remain soft and moist.

·        Cover yourself

When going outdoors make sure to put on ample layers to cover yourself. During extreme cold it is necessary to cover yourself up especially when you are travelling via bus or train. Without putting on proper protection you can chap your lips and skin after just going from the door to your car.

It is wise to invest in hat, gloves, scarf, shoes, coats and jackets, earmuffs;that will prevent the cold from reaching toyour skin and harming it.

·         Change your diet

Apart from all the covering and protection, what you eat matters a lot. Your body needs to be taken care of internally;the extremely important element being adequate intake of water. In winters since you don’t feel thirsty you drink less water. Try to drink 8-10 glass of fluid mainly water or juices to keep your body hydrated.

You also need to increase the intake of omega fatty acids that are healthy for your skin. Eat more fish, avocados and dried nuts like almond, walnuts, and pistachios. You don’t need to consume them daily; three days in a week are more than enough to keep the balanced amount of fatty omega acids in your body.
