Is Your Winter Skin Care Optimized? Here Are Some Tips. . .

By Milan Lykke


The methods in which we handle our skin should be dependent on the type of climate we are experiencing at the time.

In fact as varied as our climate and weather change throughout the year; our skin care needs to be treated accordingly. It can be quite disconcerting trying to maintain healthy skin. In this article we will take a look at a few of the things that you can do to help yourself have great skin during those cold and dry winter months.

Another area of concern during cold weather are your lips. It's not unusual to see someone whose lips have become cracked and are peeling as a result of cold, dry winter weather. It's to your best interest to keep your lips protected all the time. Make sure to wear some form of moisturizing lip balm. You also need to avoid licking at your lips. You can also keep your lips protected by keeping them hidden behind a scarf whenever you go outside. Not only will you protect your lips, but you can also cover your nose.

As the cold wintery months are upon us, an effective moisturizer will be extremely beneficial. When the weather turns and your skin is suddenly exposed to cold, dry conditions; your skin may react by becoming dry and chapped. For this reason, of all the personal products you may use during cold weather; a moisturizer is the most critical of all of them.

Of course, not all moisturizers are the same. Some are oil based, others are water based. The type of moisturizer you need is dependent upon what kind of skin you have. If your skin is on the oily side; you will not wish to use an oil based product, thus staying away from skin issues. Your skin would appreciate an oil based moisturizer if it is on the dry side of the spectrum.

It's important to keep in mind that your skin care routine doesn't change during the different seasons.

Keep your skin clean. It should be clear and as blemish free as possible. A regular visit to a dermatologist is a good idea to catch any potential problems when they are just starting. What you have to change, however, is the skin care products that you use each season. In the dry weather of winter, you need skin care products that contain oil. In the warm summer months, it is preferable to use water-based cosmetics and skin care products. The secret to healthy skin during the cold, dry season is to keep your skin warm and hydrated.
