It might be the season of goodwill, but make no mistake, skin is constantly under attack during the cold spell. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s because the brisk outside air doesn\u2019t retain moisture well, meaning there\u2019s lower humidity and those arctic, blustery winds can leave skin feeling utterly raw. Not to mention that UV rays are still a threat, especially when it snows. Reflecting off the white stuff makes them all the more harmful and damaging to skin cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But there\u2019s no escape inside either because central heating loves to suck the moisture out of the air and your skin too. Even simple luxuries like a hot bath or sitting by the fire dry the skin out. One thing you can\u2019t do at this time of year is let your guard down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Keep Drinking<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nKeeping your body hydrated on the inside and out is crucial to combat winter dryness. You might not feel the need to drink much water during winter but it\u2019s as important now for skin and body health, as at any time. Try one of those bottles that shows you how much to drink throughout the day or even having a cup of warm water is better than no water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Warm Showers and Baths<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe idea of having a long hot soak in a bath on a cold winter\u2019s day seems blissful. It\u2019s better for your skin if you stick with warm baths or showers and not spend too long in them either, as this will help to prevent your delicate skin from drying out. And if your skin does go red when you get in, it\u2019s a sure sign that the temperature\u2019s too darn hot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Use a Long-lasting Moisturiser<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\nTo keep skin cells nourished from the inside out, it\u2019s important to use a longer lasting, dermatologist tested moisturizer like Obagi Hydrate\u00ae. Clinically proven to deliver continuous hydration for up to 8 hours, its amazing efficacy can be attributed to a cutting-edge ingredient called Hydromanil\u2122.\u00a0These molecules are able to form a matrix across the surface of the skin, preventing moisture loss, whilst simultaneously capturing water molecules and continuously releasing nourishing compounds into the skin. There are also other enriching natural ingredients including shea butter, mango butter and avocado oil to soften and quench dehydrated skin. The hypoallergenic, non-irritating formula makes it ideal for dry and sensitive winter skin.<\/p>\n\n\n
