Hello Readers!
I am Cheshta and am back with my short blog for you all!
Skin conditions like acne, psoriasis, eczema tend to worsen during the winter season because of the dry air. Some of the most common skin issues during winters and how to fix them.
I am NOT a WINTER PERSON, and my skin hate winter waves too.
People who are already prone to developing dryness in some parts of the body such as the palms, feet, ankle, neck, forearms, etc. might observe more dryness in these areas during the winter season. Conversely, people with oily skin may find that the dry weather exacerbates the oiliness. Individuals who are already suffering from a skin-related disorder such as psoriasis, eczema, find it especially difficult to manage their condition during the cold winter season. It is important to identify your skin type and cope with it accordingly.
So, in this blog- I have listed few my skin tips.

Winter skincare tips
Eat immune-building foods: Eat foods that promote immunity building and help replace lost moisture in the skin - such as carrots, citrus fruits, ginger, broccoli, leafy greens like spinach. Also include ghee, nuts, fish, seeds, probiotics like curd in your diet to help strengthen your immune system. These foods are also beneficial to the skin - your good health will reflect with clear and glowing skin. I love panjiri with lots of dry fruits in it. Trust me, I gain so much in winters- but who cares!
Water
Don’t forget to hydrate: ‘Winter dehydration’ happens because people drink less water during the winters. The urge to drink occurs more often during the summer season and dehydration is usually associated with the hotter seasons. If the skin appears tired (instead of firm), leaves behind white marks upon scratching, wrinkles easily, these are signs of dehydration. Moisturising with quality products/natural items like curd, ghee, etc. while simultaneously consuming moisture-rich foods and drinking ample amounts of water will keep the skin firm and well-hydrated.
Bath Less- I mean Long Hot Showers is a big NO NO
Avoid hot showers and harsh soaps: Long hot showers during the winter season are incredibly comforting but are bad for the skin, leading to dryness. Similarly, some soaps are harsher than others and can strip the skin of essential oils and nutrients. Opt for milder soaps or body washes that are not very rough on the skin. Soaps enriched with moisturising properties are even better for the winter season.
Hello Cold Cream!
Face oils: Face oils such as rosehip oil, argan oil, moringa oil, etc, are lighter and easily absorbed during this time. Also, opt for water-based moisturisers over oil-based moisturisers to help your skin absorb it better. On the other hand, people with dry skin can use oilier moisturisers such as shea butter, coconut oil, malai to replenish the skin of lost nutrients.
I hope your skin will be happy after this! If you have more tips - Do share that will me! Bye
