Winter Tends to Dry Us Out

Ways to beat dry itchy skin during winter.

Skin slows down oil production in winter. If your skin gets really dry, it's more likely to react to beauty products, so choose hypo-allergenic skin-care and avoid those containing fragrance. You can use a rich moisturiser as long it doesn't clog your pores. Use a gentle moisturinsing mask once a week if you are using a heavy moisgturiser, firstly apply a cleansing mask that dries on the skin, to clear pores. You may use a creamy cleanser that can be wiped off with tissues or a warm cloth. Even gengtle foaming cleaners can dry the skin.

Simply rubbing sorbolene cream into your skin before having a shower, tends to have great beneficial affects on the skin. Of course we all like to have those very hot showers in the winter to make us feel good. One problem is that hot water always dehydrates you skin, so it is well to avoid the too hot shower.

Using a loofah or mesh glove can really irritate you skin so in winter it is better to perhaps stick to a face washer and be really gentle. Of course my favourite is Dove Moisturising soap, which feels really smooth and stops your skin drying out more.

In winter it is essential to always apply a moisturer while your skin is still damp, to seal in the moisture.
