There are few places in the world where dealing with winter weather is not a problem. Those people have other issues, but yours is your reaction to the cold and changing weather that your skin has to contend with. It’s the back and forth of warm and cold that dries you out.
Lips: There are several things you can do to keep your lips out of winter trouble, but licking them isn’t one of them. Simply put, don’t do it.
Licking your lips causes more problems than it solves. The real solution is lip balm. Lip balm seals in moisture while protecting your lips from the in and out of life in winter time.
Face: Whether you use a moisturizer all the time or not, you should definitely consider it in winter. Winter is harsh on your face, and a qualified specialist should be able to tell you exactly what you need to buy to keep the parched months off your face.
Hands: Here’s a fun fact: The skin on your hands is thinner than anywhere else on your body. That fact just underlines the importance of keeping your hands protected in winter.
Of course, using a good moisturize is essential, but there are things you could be doing beyond just that. For example, if you need to wear thick wool gloves to stay warm, put on a pair of cotton gloves underneath to prevent itching. Also, doff the wet gloves altogether.
Feet: The longer you sit around in wet socks, the less happy you will be later on. So get out of wet socks as soon as possible. And if you wear boots during the winter, you need to go a little further with your feet to keep them healthy. Use an exfoliator to remove dead skin and let the moisture in.
A few extra pointers you should keep in mind. Use a humidifier if you also use a heater in the winter. Heaters are notorious for evaporating what little water there is in the air. The humidifier is a great way to replace it. Also, it is vital that you wear sunscreen whenever you leave the house, especially in winter. Just because you can’t see the sun, doesn’t mean it isn’t there.
