How do you get rid of dry skin in the winter?
I don’t want to sound too much like Game of Thrones, but winter is coming, and that’s right. There’s a lot to look forward to during these cooler months, and the thought of spending long, dark nights under a blanket and hot chocolate gives us a wonderful feeling.
Many of us forget how damaging winter can be to our skin. How do you get rid of dry skin in the winter? Today we’re going to answer exactly that question and give you some great tips.
How do you treat dry skin in the winter. Here are some tips for treating dry skin: Make sure your environment doesn’t over-dry your skin.
Cold drafts and central heating are two causes of dry skin in the winter. We rarely think about how our daily lives affect our skin, but many concerns about dryness are related to the environment we work or live in. The best way to protect your skin from the stress of dry air is to maximize its moisture.
Try to keep the heat at an appropriate level, not too hot to damage your skin. You can also try using a humidifier, which keeps moisture in the air for your skin to absorb, ensuring that the protective barrier is working properly and doesn’t become too dry.
Stock up on antioxidant serums. Antioxidant-rich serums can fight all the harmful free radicals and environmental stressors that our skin is regularly exposed to. We always recommend a daily serum that contains antioxidants like vitamin C.
However, if you haven’t yet incorporated it into your daily routine, now is the perfect time to do so.
Antioxidants can repair the skin by coating the outer layer of the skin with a protective film that keeps it from feeling dry, tight, and dull. Another point to consider is to wear sunscreen even on the darkest, dreariest winter days to prevent UV damage, which can also cause skin dryness.
Use a facial scrub. As skin dries out during the winter, it’s prone to some flaky, rough patches. To prevent these from building up and causing other skin issues like a dull complexion or rashes, it’s best to use a facial scrub to remove dead skin cells, dirt, and debris to reveal new skin. Use it regularly 2-3 times a week to avoid skin reactions like redness, tightness, and even more dryness.

cold winter weather can quickly wear off your moisturizer, leading to irritation, dryness, and sometimes even redness.

Massage your skin with antioxidant-rich serums and facial oils, and apply plenty of product when your skin is dry so that your skin has time to absorb the product while you sleep. An easy way to tell if you’ve applied enough product is to check your skin in the morning. It’s still sticky or feels sticky because you applied enough product the night before.
During the winter months, opt for a stronger, richer moisturizer to keep your skin’s protective barrier functioning properly throughout the day.
