When the weather cools down, people with dry skin are more likely to have skin problems. When itcold, the skin can get dry and rough. So, it's important to pay extra attention to your skin care duringthis time of year. If you've been looking for tips to help your skin stay healthy during the winter, we've

got you covered.

Here are some things you can do to keep your skin smooth and healthy during the winter.

1. Keep yourself hydrated

One of the most important things to do in the winter is to stay hydrated. Dry air can make you feeleven more dehydrated, especially when you go outside. But if you drink a lot of water, your body willbe able to use it and hold on to more water, which will help your skin be healthier and more flexible.

2. Drink Tea

Tea has a lot of vitamins and antioxidants, which help clean your skin from the inside out. It also haspolyphenols, which help keep your skin's oil production in check. People say to put the tea bag in hotwater for a few minutes and then drink it. Your skin will take in all of the nutrients and stop feelingdry.

3. Use Hyaluronic acid

When it's cold and windy, your skin can get dry. Using products with hyaluronic acid might help yourskin keep water and feel fresh.

4. Include Vitamin C in Skincare

Adding Vitamin C to your skin care routine can help you deal with SPF rays that sunscreen doesn'tblock. You can avoid getting tanned by the Sun's rays. Vitamin C is also good for the colour of yourskin, helps collagen products work better, and gives you a glow right away.

5. Use a cleanser that moisturises

Use a cleanser that moisturises your skin to keep it healthy and glowing during the winter. This typeof cleanser does not strip your skin of its natural moisture barrier. To fix the moisture barrier, you canalso use products with ceramides, hyaluronic acid, glycerine, and hydration serum.

6. Do not scrub too much.

Exfoliation helps get rid of skin cells that have died. But you shouldn't exfoliate too much in the winterbecause it will take away the skin's natural moisture barrier and make it dry. You should exfoliateonce a week to help your skin renew itself and help it take in products better.

Dead skin cells can clog your pores and cause your skin to feel rough. Exfoliating helps remove this layer to reveal velvety-soft skin beneath. If your skin is sensitive to chemical exfoliants, consider gently running a dry brush across your skin in a circular motion for a few minutes before showering. If you want to get smooth skin on your face, make sure to choose a gentle facial scrub to prevent irritating your skin. 

On cold, winter mornings, there’s nothing like jumping into a hot, steamy shower. Unfortunately, as the warm water beats down on your skin, it can strip away natural moisture that helps keep your skin soft and baby smooth. To help moisturize your skin while cleansing, use an oil-infused body wash and avoid taking long, hot showers and baths.

If you’ve never heard of body butter before, it really is as delicious as it sounds—for your skin, that is. Body butter is a special type of skin moisturizer that contains an ultra-hydrating blend of shea, cocoa, and mango butters to deeply nourish your skin.

Consistently drinking water is known to improve blood flow, flush toxins out of your body, and hydrate your skin cells. You can also add moisture to your skin by adjusting environmental factors in your home or at work. If you live in a dry climate, try adding a humidifier to your room. These devices add moisture to the air and can help prevent your skin from drying out.
