Winter Skincare: 6 Simple Ways To Protect Your Skin From Dryness
News18 · Priyanka Das, Sujata Singh ·
From choosing the right moisturiser to taking shorter showers, small changes can make a difference to your winter skincare routine.
As temperatures drop, changes in weather can take a toll on your skin. Cooler air, low humidity and frequent exposure to indoor heating can cause dryness, leaving your skin feeling tight, itchy or flaky. Your lips and hands may also become rough and develop cracks if they are not properly moisturised. As winter approaches, it is a good time to make a few changes to your skincare routine.

Switch to a Gentle CleanserYour regular face wash may feel too drying as the weather gets colder. Choose a gentle cleanser that removes dirt and impurities without stripping your skin of its natural oils. Avoid products that leave your face feeling tight or uncomfortable after washing. Cleansing twice a day is generally sufficient for most people. (File Photo)
Apply Moisturiser RegularlyMoisturising becomes particularly important during winter. Apply a suitable moisturiser immediately after bathing or washing your face, while your skin is still slightly damp. Cream-based moisturisers may work better than lightweight lotions for people with dry skin. Pay attention to areas such as elbows, knees and ankles, which can become particularly rough. (File Photo)
