The cold crisp mornings feel refreshing to the touch of the skin, although it can also be very drying. Taking care of your skin in winter is extremely important for preventing the signs of skin flaking, cracking, and getting rashes. This is where Ayurvedic Sutra’s winter skin care tips will come in handy. Let’s take a look at some ayurvedic skin care products like body butters and moisturizers for dryness, they have the goodness of nature to nourish, balance and revitalise the skin.
Keep Your Skin Hydrated With These Tips: Winter Cream For Dry Skin And More
Cleanse well:
The first step to a well hydrated and healthy skin in winter is always to cleanse first. Cleansing with gentle exfoliants and scrubs can remove the layer of dead skin. This step helps improve skin texture and makes it possible for moisture to penetrate the skin.
Be gentle with cleansing, especially with your face, scrubbing can lead to micro-injuries and can overdry the skin.
Applying a good moisturiser and body butter daily is a must:
Choose a face cream for the face and a body butter for the rest of the body that have high-quality and non-irritating ingredients that soothe the skin from winter rash.
Make sure to apply the dry skin cream for winter twice as a routine in the morning (after the shower) and once before you go to bed.
Steam is great in winter:
Get a steam bath twice a week. Steam opens up the pores, and releases any dirt or oil at the same time it improves blood flow circulation to stimulate collagen. Steaming also helps the skin to absorb the moisturiser well by making the skin more permeable.
Protect yourself from the wind
The journey to well-hydrated skin does not end with finding a good winter face cream, prevention is also important. When you go out in areas with high winds, cover your face to protect from windburn.
Less the use of hot water and soap, the better:
We all like the comfort of hot showers on cold mornings, and while they feel great for soothing the muscles and regulating body temperature, too much hot water can leave the skin dry.
The best option is to limit the use of hot water or switch to warm water if possible. Try to also use less soap as too much soap breaks down the natural oils and leaves skin dry. For the face, use a mild face wash as it helps preserve the natural oils.
Protect your skin from the sun:
The UV Rays of the winter sun can damage the skin as much as the summer skin does. Use an SPF broad-spectrum along with the moisturiser daily as well.
Nutrition helps skin from within:
To keep skin healthy and supple in winter, eat food rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and healthy fats. Citrus fruits, Avocadoes, and dry fruits, along with supplements like Vitamin D are ideal.
