Don’t you just love winter? The crisp, clean air; sledding, skiing, snowboarding, ice-skating, snowball fights, building snowmen, hot cocoa, warm fires and snuggles.
I love being able to get out in the winter; especially on those days when the sky is blue, the sun is shining and there is a fresh layer of snow on the ground. Those days don’t come around very often; so, when they do – I am sure to get out and enjoy it.
Because I can’t always sit around waiting for those days, I still do my best to get out as long as it isn’t too cold or windy to walk the dogs or do some snowshoeing at the lake while the girls do some ice skating.
There are so many fun things to enjoy during the winter season, but your skin can begin to feel dry, tight and flaky due to the cold dry air that causes the moisture in your skin to evaporate.
You may enjoy just staying indoors; and that’s okay. Not everyone is able to get outside. Unfortunately, staying indoors doesn’t prevent dry, tight, flaky skin. The dry heat also pulls the moisture out of your skin.
Here is what you need to know to prevent dry skin
Drink plenty of water; at least 6 to 8 glasses of liquid hydration per day. Drinking that many cups per day is tough for me; especially since I am a coffee drinker and caffeine tends to dehydrate. Substituting tea instead of coffee seems to work. Supercharge your water for optimal hydration, more energy and to boost skin health with re:tune Inner Beauty Hydration.
Who doesn’t love a warm, relaxing bath or steaming hot shower in the winter? I know I “love” hot showers, but they are very drying. Try to shorten your bath or shower time and lower the temperature of the water. Stick with gentle cleansers that Nourish and moisturize and contain vitamins and oils. Body washes tend to be more hydrating than bar soaps.
Indoor heating draws the moisture out of the living space and of out of your skin; so, simply use a humidifier to add moisture back into the air. We have a woodstove and just boil a pot of water throughout the day. That seems to help.
