Winter Skin Care - How To Make The Right Choices

Winter Skin Care - How To Make The Right Choices

By Jamison Edick


Keep in mind that our skin requires special treatment during the various types of weather conditions throughout the year.

It is a fact that our skin requires diverse needs during the different times of the year when the weather is changing. You may have the tendency to become wearisome trying to keep up with the various tasks necessary for nice skin. Below we will be sorting through the various ways you can keep up with healthy skin when the weather is cold and foreboding.

Choose the mildest soaps possible for your body during the winter. In the wintertime, we don't need the summertime soaps that contain antibacterial agents and deodorants. These elements are great sometimes, but using them all the time can strip your skin of the essential oils it needs to stay moisturized. You need to pay more attention to body odor and bacteria build up on your body during the warm summer months; however, these issues aren't as bothersome in cold weather. Therefore, it's better to use milder, natural soaps during the winter. The best soaps are those that have no scent additives. If you must choose a scented soap, find one that has just the lightest amount of scent added and look for natural scents, not chemical-based scents. These same rules apply with your laundry soap. Find a pure laundry soap that has no chemical additives.

Don't forget your feet. You need to keep them smooth and moisturized also. The foot creams you use in the summer are great, but they aren't adequate for cold weather use. Make sure you search for a glycerin-based, or petroleum jelly based, formulation to use on your feet when the weather turns cold. To properly care for your feet, use a pumice stone or gritty lotion to gently remove the dried skin first and then liberally apply one of the rich foot creams. By following this procedure, the lotion will reach deep into the skin of your feet and protect them from become dry. As you know, you should change your socks when they get wet to protect your skin. Using deeply infused rich creams on your feet will keep your skin protected until such time as you can change into dry socks.

Some people think that one of the pleasures of wintertime is a nice hot shower or bath. The hot water feels so great on your skin, and it helps to relax your muscles and literally washes away the troubles of your day. Unfortunately, it also takes way too much moisture out of your skin by breaking down the lipid barrier. You end up with dryer skin than you had before your bath or shower. The solution is a nice soak in an oatmeal bath using lukewarm water. It's moisturizing, hydrating, and gets you clean without your having to risk any excess drying. Some people find that winter is a very stressful season to deal with. Claustrophobia strikes a lot of people when they cannot freely enjoy the outdoors. The lack of adequate sunshine hours leads a lot of people to experience winter depression. A lot of individuals also have more severe skin problems during cold, damp weather. If you are perplexed by the thought of finding a new routine to take care of your skin in the wintertime, don't be. Your skin has, to be sure, has different needs under different conditions and you simply need to find out what those needs are. Keeping up with your skin's changing needs can be a challenge but if you get the hang of it, you will definitely be glad you put forth the effort.
