Beat the Winter Skin Blues

I read on a magazine a few months ago that even during winter season, wearing a sunscreen can protect your skin from dryness. I had never done this but I was really curious of the idea. Then, I have read again on a press release about it that by keep wearing your sunscreen can definitely help winter blues to be lenient. According to dermatologist Dr. Tess Mauricio of www.hydrafacial.com reveals that there are ways to protect our skin from harsh winter effects.

And here are some of the points ot keep in mind: Dermatologist Dr. Tess Mauricio Reveals Ways to Beat the Winter Beauty Blues www.hydrafacial.com. These are some of the Do's and Don't's.

Do: Keep wearing your sunscreen! UVA rays, which cause fine lines and wrinkles, stay the same all day, every day, so make sure you are protecting your skin!

Don’t: Take long hot showers and baths. Try to keep shower time to a minimum, and at a moderate temperature. The hot steam causes pores to open and releases much-needed moisture, causing dry skin.

Do: Re-check your skin regimen. Just as you change clothes with the season, you have to change your skin care routine to make sure your skin is receiving the proper nutrients.

 Don’t: Vigorously rub your body with a towel when you get out of the shower. You will remove the skin cells and oils you have just applied. Instead, Pat dry or air dry if possible when you get out of the shower.

Do: Stay hydrated! The more hydrated you keep your body, the more hydrated your skin will be as well.

Don’t: Wear itchy clothing. The constant itch can worsen your dry skin issues.

Do: Get a body lotion and/or hand cream. Constantly nourishing your skin with lotion will help relieve itchiness and keep your skin hydrated.

Don’t: Lick your lips! It makes the chapping of your lips worse.

Do: Carry chapstick on you at all times! Throw one in your purse, car, or keep one on your nightstand. Your lips have a higher tendency of becoming chapped in winter, so it is good to always have chapstick on you!

Don’t: Have harsh facials; such as harsh peels, masks, or alcohol-based toners, which will strip vital oils from your skin.

These are indeed very helpful especially on my experience of winter dry skin. I truly despite it and I wish I could able to move out to a warm, nice tropical weather. But, what else I could for now but to find ways on how to fight winter skin blues.
