Winter can leave your skin dry, flaky, and itchy, thanks to cold winds and dry indoor air. Here are skincare tips that will keep your skin soft, hydrated, and healthy all season long.
Malai (fresh milk cream) exfoliates and moisturizes winter skin. Apply 10 minutes, rinse, and enjoy soft, nourished skin.
Shea and cocoa butter deeply moisturize and repair skin. Use as body butter or lip balm to lock in hydration and shield against winter’s harsh effects.
Coconut oil, rich in fatty acids, locks in moisture. Apply warm after a shower to keep skin hydrated and glowing all day.
Mix equal parts glycerin and rose water in a spray bottle. Spray nightly on face, hands, and feet to soothe itchiness and keep skin hydrated and glowing in winter.
Drink 8–10 glasses of water daily and include hydrating foods like cucumber, watermelon, and oranges.
Add 1 cup of finely ground oats to lukewarm water and soak for 15–20 minutes. Beta-glucans in oats soothe itchy winter skin and leave it smooth.
Honey moisturizes and soothes dry winter skin. Apply a thin layer for 10–15 minutes, rinse with lukewarm water, and enjoy soft, refreshed skin.
Aloe vera soothes dry, irritated winter skin. Apply fresh or store-bought gel twice daily to reduce redness and keep skin calm.
