3 Tips For Your Winter Skincare Routine

The colder weather of winter can become positively frigid, creating issues with your skin on both your body and your face. Dry, flaky skin can itch and even crack at times. Fortunately, there are some ways you can protect your skin from the abuse of winter weather, and today we’ve got three helpful tips for you to consider when creating your winter skincare routine.

Gentle Products

Using gentle cleansers won’t strip precious moisture away from your skin, and skincare professionals say that bland is best. For example, stay away from the fragranced products you might normally use. If you are having to handle breakouts this time of year, plain old water will be a great go-to. The skincare professionals here at Urban Oasis can advise you on some great products that will be perfect for you to use during winter weather.

Avoid Heat

Taking hot showers and baths can create cracks in the surface of your skin, and if you don’t moisturize right away, those cracks will allow the nerves of your skin to be exposed to air. The result here will be what feels like eczema, or what is otherwise known as “winter’s itch.” It may not seem reasonable to avoid hot baths and showers when it’s freezing outside, but just remember that water will actually dehydrate your skin if it’s too hot. Keeping the door of your bath closed to capture humidity can help here, and moisturizing right after you dry can help protect your skin, too.

Moisturize

his is an obvious, yet important, tip. Applying body oils before bathing is one way to trap moisture, and coconut oil is a great choice here. Creams are better than lotions since they aren’t as thick. All-natural products are available here at Urban Oasis, your Nashville day-spa locale.
