Use humidifiers to protect your skin
In freezing conditions of the winter, the cold can cause your skin red itchy marks and dryness. Even the moisturised skins can get dry over Winter. We have convinced ourselves with wearing layers of clothes we can protect our skin from cold conditions. That is not accurate because we still have to moisturise our skin throughout the winter like we do over over seasonal period to retain the moisture in our skin. Some of the things you could do to protect skin in winter as as follows.
Consume at least 3 to 4 litres of water so that your skin do not get dehydrated as it is the biggest organ in our body. Drinking lots of water also keeps our skin moisturised from inside. When we work our body by going to the gym or playing sports we sweat and it is very important that we replenish the water we lose through our skin.
Before sleeping apply creams and lotions in your skin. We apply moisturising lotions before we go to work but sometimes we forget to apply it at nights before we sleep. Applying cream at night is very important because we do a lot of activities during the day time by which we lose moisture in our skin. You will notice lack of moisturise when your feet starts getting dry and cracked.
Use humidifiers in your homes as air in the winter can get very dry. As in the Winter we like to turn the heater on quite a bit this can cause dryness to the skin along with nasal passages, as you will notice the dry blood coming out of your nasal everytime you blow. To add bits of moisture to the air invest in humidifiers in Germany we call it luftbefeuchter.
Take showers with cool water. I know we all love having shower in hot water in winter but it normally dries our skin,, so it is wise to use warm water other than hot.
