What Are the Secrets to Moisturized Winter Skin? | yohana
With the chilly weather already here, I can already feel my face drying out. Do you have any secrets for how to get the moisture back in my skin? I want to hear something I haven't heard before!
Baby its cold outside, and it's likely your skin is already taking a beating courtesy of Jack Frost. Unfortunately, just like wool sweaters and stacked boots, dry skin is practically a seasonal staple. Humidity levels are plummeting and central heating is pumping out hot, dry air—what's a girl to do? But just because conditions are tough doesn't mean your skin has to suffer through. Here are our top three sneaky ways to banish dry, flaky skin for good!
Back away from the alcohol. Don't worry, we're not advising you to abstain from liquid Christmas cheer—by all means indulge in that spiked egg nog! Rather, it's the alcohol in your beauty products we want you to steer clear of. The harsh ingredient strips away much-needed moisture. Toners and cleansers are the usual suspects in your beauty regimen that contain alcohol. Just check the label and if it lists any type of alcohol (except for cetyl, stearyl or lanolin, which are okay) as an ingredient just stash it until spring.
Invest in a humidifier. As we mentioned, there are a lot of environmental factors that work together to take the moisture out of the air around this time of year. Beat them at their own game (we can't help but personify those nasty elements!) by purchasing ahumidifier for your home. As an extra bonus, the little device will also ease any congested sinuses! If plugging in your humidifier seems cumbersome at the office, add a couple of plants to your desk instead. Plants give off oxygen and moisture—almost 90% of any water you pour into a plant goes back into the atmosphere. Spider plants and bamboo are among the best natural humidifiers.
Take warm, not hot showers. We know nothing sounds better on a cold day than a hot shower, but that steamy shower may be wreaking havoc on your dry skin. If you can bear it, try and lower the temperature just a couple notches, and don't forget to moisturize while you're in there!
