Five Picks: Winter Skin Care

1. Five Picks: Winter Skin Care Winters are trying times for your skin. Like your wardrobe, you need to change your skincare to suit the cold months. Remember those advertisements that talk about reduced radiance during the winters? Instead of investing in a generic cold cream, prepare your skin with proper skincare techniques and methods. Here we will talk about five things that you should do to prepare your skin for the winters. Exfoliate Everyday Dead skin cells are a regular feature during winters, which is why you need to exfoliate your skin on a daily basis. If you let dead skin cells rule on your skin, overtime it will become dry and coarse. This happens much faster during the winters. Exfoliation, apart from keeping your skin hydrated, also keeps it moisturized. With this exercise, you will find new, moist skin cells along the surface of your skin, making it glow and keeping it radiant. You can even use gel based cleansers for better results. Wash skin with cold water. Stay away from hot or warm water during the winters as that can cause adverse effects on your skin. Use Skin Moisturizers Vitamin E is important for your skin, which is why your winter skin care routine should include this essential vitamin. Use a moisturizer that has good amount of Vitamin E, Shea Butter and other natural moisturizing elements for the best results. As a result of a good moisturizer, you will see your skin remain radiant and healthy even during the winters. These ingredients are necessary as they not only keep your skin in the perfect condition during winters, but also help preserve the moisturizer.
