Dry air: The dry and hot hair coming from your central heating system can contribute to dry skin. Consider changing your facial cleanser to a milky or creamy cleanser with fewer skin stripping detergents. Also, use vegetable soaps or a creamy hydrating body wash and limit the use of hot water, which can also dry up your skin. Itchy and flaky skin may signal that your skin is dehydrated, so add some moisturizer and get a humidifier to add a little bit of moisture to the air.
Dry skin: Getting a facial during the winter is a must. You can also try a DIY moisturizing face mask at home to keep your skin hydrated and healthy. Don’t forget about hands and knuckles, which can start to peel from cold temperatures. Always keep some lip-balm handy and use it often to prevent chapped lips, which can feel like someone sliced them with the cold.
Sun damage: Most people skip the sunscreen in the winter because they don’t spend as much time outside, but the fact is that UV rays are present all year long. Use foundation that contains SPF, that way it’s one less thing to worry about. Use sunscreen that is at least SPF-30 especially if you’re going to be outside or driving for a long period of time. This will help protect your skin from the harmful rays and prevent sun damage.
Dry and tangled hair: This is one of the most common problems during the winter. The dreaded hat hair, static, and dry hair. Make sure you change your shampoo and add hydrating oils to keep your hair protected from the cold. Add some deep-conditioning treatments at home or talk to your beauty expert at the salon to see what your hair needs.
