Winter Skin Care Tips

* Take a lukewarm shower daily, without fail. During winter season too, you need to keep yourself clean and a bath is the best way to keep fresh and hygienic. Use a mild shower gel and avoid harsh and excessively fragrant soaps.
* You need to apply moisturizer just after having a bath, when the skin is still moist. Apply a deep cream-based moisturizer on the whole body. Choose a moisturizer with shea butter or cocoa, for extra protection.
* You can also add a few drops of olive oil or coconut oil to your bathing water, to keep your skin moist and soft.
* You need to exfoliate your skin once a week. Dead cells normally accumulate on the skin during winters and exfoliating them will keep it smooth and clean. Invest in a good brand for the scrub.
* Lips also suffer the brunt of winter and you need to apply balms to keep them from getting chapped. First rub your lips with a gentle toothbrush and then apply the balm. You can even apply mustard oil in your navel every night.
* Wear gloves while you are doing house chores, so as to prevent your hands from getting rough. In addition, you need to apply a good hand cream two to three times in a day.
* The heels get easily cracked during winter season. In order to avoid this condition, apply a foot cream every night and keep the feet cozy in socks.
* Massage your hair and body with warm olive oil once a week. You can undertake massage with coconut oil too. You can rub the oil on your body either at night, before going to bed, or in the morning, before taking a bath.
* Even in the winter season, do not forget to apply sunscreen daily. At the same time, drink lots of water and eat healthy.
* You can also use homemade mask for skin care in winters. Blend avocado with a few drops of olive oil and apply the mixture all over your body, before taking bath. Wash it off after twenty minutes and then take a bath.
* Mix yogurt with grounded almonds and then apply the mixture on your face. Wash it off with lukewarm water, after twenty minutes, and find your skin as good as new.
