Winter Skin Care Tips

Winter skin care. Now the winters are coming up, I am sure all of you are interested in really getting to know what you can do for your skin and lips this winter. The first thing I am going to talk about are my don't list. Don't do a lot of hot showers or hot baths. I know that seems impossible. You must be feeling really cold. It's totally normal to feel like that. But the hotter the bath the hotter the shower and hotter the shower and the longer you are exposed to that hot water the more you are going to evaporate essential moisturizer from your skin. So just jump in and jump out. Get yourself done and be comfortable so you can have better skin. Point number 2. Heaters. The heaters that we use in India really just push dry-dry air into the room. If I were you, obviously you need to use the heater but put in on and then shut it off. Don't keep it going all day. The longer you have the heater there the drier you air is gonna be. When air is dry it takes moisture from your skin in order to even out the moisture balance between the air and your skin. So you will be drier and air will just continue to leach hydration from you. Do my tip. Reducing the amount of time your heater is on and you will definitely see a difference. The third thing that you need to do is avoid sulphate body washes or soaps. Sulphates and soaps actually dry out your skin. They disrupt the pH balance of your skin allowing the barrier to open up and making water come out. You don't want your barrier to open up. The whole point of having skin is so that the barrier is closed so you don't have to worry about nutrition, vitamin, water leaching out. You want all that to come in. Right? So do this and you will definitely see a difference. Use sulphate free body washes and stop the soap. Reduce the amount you use, you really don't need that much. Okay? Now I am going to give you my "do" list. First things first. When you have dry air pumping through your house with dry heaters you can contract. You can actually use something called a humidifier. Now what's a humidifier? A humidifier is a machine that pumps water into the air. It makes the air more moist so it doesn't need to take water from you. It's perfectly safe, it's wonderful for the skin and for the throat so that dry throat and dry nose is improved. Get a humidifier immediately. It will be your life saver. The next thing you need to do is to moisturize. A lot of us just think, "oh! I will get a basic body lotion. Any lotion I use is fine." That's actually wrong. You want a body lotion that has humectin like urea or lactic acid or sodium lactate in it. What that does is, is it actually binds water from your environment into your skin so that it holds on to all that moisture. The more moisture it holds on to the better your skin will be. You can even get creams that have these ingredients but any good moisturizing cream, even a cold cream is perfect for your face. So you can moisturize as much as possible at least twice a day for better skin on the face and the body. The third and the last thing is the diet recommendation. Omega 3 fatty acids or natural oils will actually help your skin. Eat Omega 3 fatty acids every day maybe as flax seed oil, maybe it's a little coconut oil. Maybe you cook with coconut oil. All those natural fats will make your skin more supple and stronger. Because your skin actually needs Omega 3 fatty acids to stay strong and for that barrier to keep in place. If you add this into your diet you will definitely see a difference. I am doctor Kiran Lohia from Lumière Dermatology. you...
