6 Ways Your Skin Changes in winter
Posted: December 9th, 2015
It's no surprise our skin needs some extra TLC in the winter months. Between the cold bitter weather and heated homes, your skin gets dry and needs wintertime skin care. Even though you tend to wear closed shoes more in the winter months doesn't mean you can let your
pedicures slide. It's just as important to continue regular manicures and pedicures even in the winter time. You should have a steady supply of skin care products for all year round. The day spa can help recommend beneficial products to use in the winter. A winter massage at the spa is a great way to give your body moisture with added essential oils.
6 Ways Your Skin Changes in winter
Hydrate inside. It's just as important to hydrate from the inside by drinking plenty of water and eating water-rich foods that stay in your body longer than just drinking water. Good skin care is not just focusing on the outside. Try eating vegetables like cauliflower and spinach.
Add more moisturizer. Use a more hydrating moisturizer when you start turning on the heat at home. Cold temperatures can leave your skin dry and flakey. A daily hydrating moisturizer with SPF is a good choice.
Use your sunblock. You still need protection even though the sun isn't as hot for your skin. The sun can still do damage in the winter. Sunblock with SPF is also added hydration to protect your skin.
Protect your lips. Your lips are very sensitive to the cold weather. They can become chapped and cracked which can be painful. Carry a chapstick or lip balm with SPF and apply it a few times a day, especially when you are going outdoors in the cold.
Prevent acne. The change in season can mean more breakouts. Make sure you have an acne skin care product plan ready if needed. You don't want to be caught off guard if you know you have this issue.
Be positive. Some find their stress level increases with changing seasons. So minimize your stress level and keep a positive attitude to keep your skin healthy. Stress tends to increase the chance of skin breakouts. Relax and be happy.
