Dermatologist Afroja Parveen advises you to stay free from dry skin
1. After waking up in the morning,
you should wash your face with face wash or soft moisturizing soap after understanding your skin type. Apart from this, you can scrub every other day. There is no substitute for cleansing the skin and removing dead cells to brighten the skin. Apply carrot juice on your face occasionally and wash it after a while. In this way, the skin will be washed properly and black spots will also be reduced.
2.
Use less soap during and after bathing in winter. Even if you use soap, use a moisturised soap. It will reduce the roughness of the skin. Body oil can be used in winter. In our country, the tradition of applying mustard oil on the body is very old. Apart from this, olive oil, coconut oil or many other oils can also be used in the body. But before using the oil, check whether it is suitable for your skin. If suitable, warm the oil and massage the whole body. Doing this after bathing will give more benefits.
Most of us have a tendency to bathe with hot water in winter. Even if you take a bath, you cannot wash your head and face with hot water. Experts say that extra hot water damages the skin cells. This results in loss of skin moisture. A few drops of jojoba or almond oil in bath water helps to moisturize and smooth the skin. Use moisturizer or lotion while wet after showering and every time you wash your face. It will keep the skin moist.
3. Before and after going out,
the winter sun hits the skin very hard. Don't forget to use sunscreen even if the sun is relaxing in freezing weather. Use an SPF 15-30 sunscreen lotion 30 minutes before going outside. Use sunscreen with more moisturizer, mix it with water if necessary. Applying honey all over the face in the afternoon and then washing it is beneficial.
4.
Applying a little more moisturizing lotion than the usual amount before going to bed at night will help reduce the feeling of dryness . You can apply olive oil or liquid paraffin before going to bed at night to keep the skin moist and radiant. Apart from this, those who are younger can use petroleum jelly before sleeping at night. It is better to use night cream after the age of thirty.
