Winter! Worried about Dry Skin? 6 Simple Steps To Revive Your Glow
Winter! Worried about Dry Skin? 6 Simple Steps To Revive Your Glow
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the last days of winter melt away, I reflect on how hard this time of year can be on our skin. A walk into my house after an afternoon outdoors resulted in the usual burning sensation of dryness as skin hit the warmth of indoor heating.
The effects of winter on skin are just undeniable-rough, flaky patches, a general sense of tightness. It is one emotion that most of us have been too familiar with. Come spring, and leave the winter woes behind.
Skin Specialist and Co-founder, Dr.Rashel, Pravin Bera shares all about the apt skincare routine that can restore your skin to its natural radiance and health."Winter's cold, dry air often leaves skin rough, flaky, and parched. Repairing it post-winter involves a routine focused on cleansing, exfoliating, hydrating, and protecting."
Here is a detailed guide to your winter skincare:
1. Clearing the Buildup: Exfoliation
Exfoliation is the first step in repair after rough winter exposure. Dry cold air can leave your skin flaky as your skin sheds dead skin cells. But those cells can linger, refusing to let the new fresh skin arise. Exfoliation removes that buildup, unblocks pores, and prepares it all the more for better absorption of whatever products you put on afterward.
"Exfoliation is essential to remove dead cells and clean the pores from the inside. Besides, congestion is avoided for better absorption of other products," she says.
He adds, "For oily skin, charcoal-based scrubs are ideal, as they reduce excess oil and clear out impurities. Hyaluronic acid scrubs are excellent for dry skin, delivering hydration and smoothness, while coffee scrubs balance exfoliation and moisture for combination skin. For sensitive skin, papaya scrubs soothe and reduce redness."

2. Cleanse Gently but Effectively
After exfoliation, the skin is primed for moisturizing, but first, one should wash away impurities. "Follow exfoliation with a mild, hydrating cleanser that contains active soothing ingredients such as aloe vera or hyaluronic acid," Pravin says. "These ingredients lock in moisture without drying out the skin and keep your skin feeling soft and supple." The right cleanser will clean without leaving that tight, dry feeling which can often come with harsher cleansers.
3. Skin Balancing and Toning
Once your skin is cleansed, it is now time for balancing. Rose water or cucumber in a toner will hydrate the skin as it works its magic to restore the skin to its natural balance. Rose water is touted for its soothing powers and will help calm the irritation brought about by winter's chill. Cucumber gives the skin its refreshing burst of hydration that will help revitalize the skin if it feels taut and parched.

4. Antioxidant Boost of Vitamin C
Winter exposure can often make skin appear dull and lackluster. To add a little more glow to your skin, incorporate a vitamin C serum into your routine. Vitamin C is an antioxidant powerhouse that aids in repairing skin damage, lightening of the complexion, and also stimulating collagen production. Because collagen provides skin with its characteristic resilience, a boost may help improve the visible effects of fine lines and wrinkles that come from cold, harsh air.
A vitamin C serum will repair and protect by delivering active antioxidants and amping up collagen production. Seal it in with a moisturizer. Finish off with sunscreen-even during winter-to protect the skin from UVA/UVB rays and help prevent pigmentation and protect the skin barrier.

5. Seal in Hydration with a Moisturizer
Hydration is the backbone of post-winter skin repair. Use a rich nourishing moisturizer to lock in all that goodness. A good moisturizer acts as the barrier so it doesn't lose moisture throughout the day.
Slather on liberally and look for ingredients like ceramides, which will help repair the skin's natural barrier and shea butter or glycerin for deep moisture retention. Particular areas to douse with product include those places that feel dry or rough, like cheeks, forehead, and neck.

6. Never Skip Sunscreen-Not Even in Winter
While many people think that wearing sunscreen begins during summer, your skin needs protection during winter too. UVA/UVB rays are one of the leading factors in winter that result in skin damage, pigmentation, premature aging, and weakening skin barriers.
Using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 each day protects the skin from this hidden, harmful exposure. Even if you’re indoors most of the day, sunlight can filter through windows, so make sunscreen a non-negotiable part of your routine.
