Winter is one of the most important seasons to pay attention to your skin. Even though it may be covered up, it is still experiencing massive drying and unhealthy conditions that can lead to an discomfort and inflamation. Let’s take a closer look at some ways you can keep your skin healthy this winter.
Visit Your Aesthetician
You should already be visiting your aesthetician throughout the year, but it is especially important during the winter. Your skin will dry out with the cold air outside and the drying heat inside. Your aesthetician can continue performing facials, address any of your concerns, and suggest the best products to use during the winter.
Moisturize Frequently
Since your skin will dry out during the winter months, it is crucial that you moisturize. Your skin may begin to flake, become inflamed, burn, or itch in response to the increased dryness. Moisturizers can help keep these symptoms at bay. However, typical lotions are usually water-based, when your dry skin needs a moisturizer that is oil-based. Before applying an oil-based moisturizer to your face, though, consult with your aesthetician on the best non-drying moisturizer that will keep your face from breaking out with acne or feeling greasy.
Use Your Humidifier
In addition to moisturizing every day, use humidifiers throughout your house, especially while running the heater. Heating appliances leach the moisture from the surrounding air, which means your skin will dry out. By using small humidifiers, the moisture will be reintroduced and more evenly spread throughout your house, which will help reduce skin drying.
