During the winter, we find ourselves having to deal with less natural lighting and colder weather. All of this can make maintaining our skin, hair, and weight difficult. With these winter beauty tips, you can have a healthy complexion that’s carefree all season long.
1. Drink Plenty of Water
Drinking water is essential for hydration, which is important for skin elasticity. It’s best to have 8 glasses of water a day, but 6-7 will do. Be sure to drink warm water with your meals. This will help aid digestion and prevent constipation, which can be an unwanted winter side effect. If you’re in the mood for a nice warm cup of coffee or tea, feel free to enjoy that as well! But be sure to keep up with your daily water intake.
2. Wear Sunscreen
When exposed to the sun, the skin may tan or burn. While this is not a bad thing, it can upset your complexion. When it’s cold outside, skin tends to absorb more of the sun’s rays and therefore burn more easily. Apply sunscreen every day during the winter months to help shield against damaging UV rays. Try wearing a broad spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen every day and wear a hat when outdoors if you can to protect yourself at all times!
3. Keep Skin Moisturized
Moisturizing is important to do every day, no matter what. This will help protect the skin from harmful elements and keep it looking healthy. Be sure that your moisturizer is non-greasy, waterproof and SPF-free. This will help keep your skin protected all day long. If you want to maintain your weight, cutting down on sugar intake can be very helpful for providing a healthy glow to the skin.
4. Don’t Skip the Exfoliation
If you have sensitive skin, you may have issues with dryness. However, this should not deter you from exfoliating your skin. These natural scrubs for sensitive skin can be gentle and effective for those with dry or delicate skin.
Exfoliation helps manage dry patches by improving the flow of oxygen to the surface of the skin. It also promotes circulation and increases cell turnover by removing dead cells that tend to build up on the surface layer of your skin.
