Everyone needs an extra dose of self-care,
especially during the winter. The cold and harsh weather can
especially target your skin and leave it feeling dried out and tight
to touch.
When this happens, it’s a great excuse to take
some time out for yourself and pamper your skin until it has a soft
and dewy glow again, like you deserve.

Avoid Fragranced Soap
Dry
skin can be easily irritated, especially by perfumes or
low-quality soaps. When you wash your skin during the winter, try to
use perfume-free options and opt for soft and gentle gels or
cleansers rather than bars of soap or harsh scrubs. Smooth gels and
cleansers feel wonderful on your skin, particularly when it’s dry.
You will immediately feel the moisture sink into your skin after a
long day out in the cold.
Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize!
The best way to combat dryness is to moisturize.
During the winter, this should be the centerpiece of your
skincare routine. Toners can dry out your skin even further, so
it is best to avoid these during the winter months and use
moisturizer instead. Your hands can get dried out as well, so make
sure to use moisturizing hand cream and carry it with you wherever
you go, to avoid cracked skin and keep them feeling soft.

Get a Facial
There is no better way to relax and take care of
your skin than to get a facial. If the cold weather is putting you
off from even going out to get one, then an at-home treatment from a
Nuface device is the best way
to treat yourself this winter. Tone and lift your face from the
comfort of your own home, while you stick your feet up and relax in
the warmth.

Bathe with Bath Salts
After long days out in the cold, a warm bath is
just what you need to sink into. While you may be tempted to go for a
steaming hot bath, this can dry out your skin further, so a warm
bath, but not scolding, is the perfect middle-ground. Bath salts are
a great addition, as they make a normal bath luxurious. Choose your
favorites; they all have unique
skin-purifying properties, so whichever you need, take a soak and
have an hour to yourself.

Invest in a Humidifier
When you fight the cold from outside with central
heating, this dries out the air inside your home, which can be awful
for your skin. To bring the moisture back into your home, so you
should consider investing in a
humidifier. A humidifier would work particularly well in your
bedroom to help prevent your skin from drying out overnight and
putting all your moisturizer to waste.
Skin dryness is, unfortunately, the most common
result of cold winter weather. You don’t have to grin and bear it,
though; you can take care of your skin and bring moisture back into
your life. Just don’t forget to carry a Chapstick and moisturising
hand cream with you everywhere you go.
