In wintertime, low temperatures, low humidity and
strong, harsh winds deplete your skin of it’s natural lipid layer, which keeps
the skin from drying out. To keep your skin soft and supple, your mission is
not just to add moisture to the skin, but to keep moisture in.
Try these easy tips and say “Goodbye” to dry skin…
FIVE EASY STEPS TO AVOID DRY SKIN IN WINTER:
1- COLD WATER:
Wash your face with cold water daily. Hot water robs
your skin of moisture causing it to dry.
2- MOISTURIZE, MOISTURIZE, MOISTURIZE!
Your skin will tell you when it’s dry. If your skin
feels tight and taut, it’s time to moisturize again.
3- SCRUB:
A Moisturizer is much effective on a properly
exfoliated skin. Use salt, sugar or grounded coffee in the shower and exfoliate
your skin at least once every 10 days.
4- MILK:
Use plain milk twice a day and leave it for 10 minutes
then wash with cold water. This will help your skin to stay moisturized all day
long.
5- BEFORE GOING TO BED:
Apply a mixture of 1 tablespoon of warm olive oil with
a few drops of glycerin and 3 drops of lime juice, on a clean skin, right
before you go to bed.
