Ah, winter—the season of hot chocolates with a cozy blanket and also dry skin and creaky joints right? If your skin also feels rough and joints feel like cracking, don’t worry—you’re not the only one! From this blog, let’s talk about how to stay healthy and happy in this winter skin and joint care without feeling like dry raisins.
What’s Winter Doing to Your Body?
Ever notice how dry skin feels and your joints feel like cracky that need a massage of oil in this winter? Blame the cold, dry air. Low humidity removes the moisture from your skin, making it flaky and itchy. Also how can we forget about the joints – due to winter, muscles tighten and reduce blood flow, which makes it stiffer like the morning cup of coffee that remains sitting too long.
Skin Care Tips: Say Goodbye to Winter Dryness
Winter can make your soft, glowing skin into harsh flasky overnight. But don’t worry, we have tips for you in this cozy winter:
- Moisturize Like a Boss
Moisturizer is like your winter skin armor. Try rich winter ingredients like shea butter or almond oil. Apply it right after you take a shower to trap the moisture on your body.
Pro Tip: If you’re an office worker, keep a small-sized moisturizer – header is not really being very friendly to your hands.
- Hot Shower—To Take or Not to Take?
Taking a hot shower? They are like toxic friends in your life—they damage your skin. Using a hot shower makes your winter skin dry as desert and takes away all the natural oils from your skin. Instead, we can use Lukewarm water.
Relatable Moment: You may notice that, after using a hot shower, you feel tight and itchy, right? Let’s use Lukewarm water instead.
- Hydration Isn’t Just for Summer
In Winter, you feel cold and not sweating. So, drinking water is not important, you might think, right? But do you know? You need an equal amount of water in your body as you need in summer ! So, keep sipping H20. Bonus point: Your joints will also be happy.
- Humidifiers Are Your Friends
Indoor heating keeps the moisture out of the air. With the use of Humidifier, you can keep the moisture on your winter skin and in air prevent it from dryness.
- Little Things Count
Cracked lips and rough hands? You can use Lip balm and winter hand cream as your winter best friends. Keep them close and use them as per need.
Joint Care Tips: Keep Moving (Literally)
