Skin, especially with the presence of melanin can be especially prone to get extra dry (ashy) during the winter season. These tips will help nourish your skin and help it shine!
1. Use a humidifier in your bedroom to balance out the hot dry air that blasts from heaters.
2. Always protect your hands from the harsh weather with gloves. According to WebMD, the skin on your hands is thinner with fewer oil glands so it’s important to keep them from drying and cracking.
3. Use thicker moisturizers, with Shea butter and or essential oils.
4. Avoid moisturizers containing dye alcohol or propylene glycol. If you have especially sensitive skin, avoid products containing fragrance and lanolin.
5. Exfoliate! Exfoliate! Exfoliate! I can’t stress this enough. Using a good exfoliate like a sugar or salt scrub is essential to remove all of the dead skin cells BEFORE you moisturize. Pay special attention to the soles of the feet, elbows, and knees
6. Take warm showers and baths and not hot ones! Sure it feels good to step into a nice steamy hot shower in the morning, but it will dry out your skin.
7. Avoid wet gloves and socks which can cause skin cracks and eczema flair-ups.
8.Don’t forget to use products with SPF 15 or 30 to protect you from the sun. Products with Vitamin D are also very nourishing for the skin
