Top 7 “Game-Changing” tips for Healthy Skin in winters 2019-2020

Winters are approaching and as usual, the cold and dry air will leave your skin itchy, red, and irritated. And it can feel like there’s no escape from these cold, blustery conditions outside that will leave your skin feeling raw, while indoor heat zaps moisture from the air and from your skin. Although, there are some things that make winter wonderful like sitting around a roaring fire which can dry your skin. However, taking a hot shower might seem like a good way to warm up, hot water will dry your skin by stripping it of its natural oils. 
Amazingly, there are many simple ways to combat the causes of dry winter skin which will help in keeping your skin moist and supple all season long, including some easy changes to your everyday skin-care routine. Here are some of the best game-changing hacks to keep in mind when it comes to effective winter skincare, so that you can feel your best all winter long.
Top 7 Tips for Healthy Winter Skin
1. Limit your shower time and water temperature as well
It might be tempting to take a long, steamy shower, but your skin will be much better-served within 5 to 10 minutes of lukewarm shower (or bath). You avoid using excessively hot water when washing your hands as it might cause your skin to turn red as the water is too hot. Washing your hands in cooler water appears to be as effective for removing germs as warm water and is less irritating to skin. And if you're using a restroom air hand-dryer, use it just until your hands are moist rather than perfectly dry.
2. Opt for gentle & fragrance-free soap
The wrong soap can deteriorate itchiness and dry skin. For instance, regular bar soaps may contain some irritating ingredients and fragrances. Instead, you can consider a fragrance-free, moisturizing cleanser or gel. Don’t forget to look for product labeling that must include “fragrance-free” or "unscented" products may actually contain fragrances.
3. Revise your facial Skin-Care Regimen for winters
During the winter months, you can choose some cream-based cleansers, and apply toners and astringents cautiously. Many astringents also contain alcohol, which can further result in drying your skin. It is recommended that when your skin is dry and itchy, you should stop using products which contain alcohol and fragrances in order to help your skin retain its natural oils. At night, use a richer moisturizer on your face. Also apply a moisturizing balm like petroleum jelly or another ointment that can help to heal dry, cracked lips and keep them from getting chapped.
4. Moisturize your skin frequently especially Your Hands
To maintain a healthy skin by moisturizing after washing up, it is best to use a cream or ointment in the winter. Lotions are better in warmer, humid climates. Apply a hand cream after each wash.
5. Apply sunscreen on winter days
During bright winter days, snow reflects the sun’s rays — up to 80 percent will increase your risk of exposure. It is advised to apply apply a moisturizing of broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher to all exposed areas of your body before going outside. 
6. Wear appropriate clothes
Many cold-weather fabrics can aggravate dry winter skin. Keep wool and rough clothing from directly touching your skin, which can cause dry skin to get irritated and itchy. Instead, wear light layers made from soft, breathable materials directly against your skin and pull on a warmer sweater. If you prefer wool gloves, put on cotton or silk glove liners first.
7. Eat Right and Stay Hydrated
When skin is very dry, it can be fixed by foods or supplements that contain omega-3 or omega-6 fatty acids, such as fish oil and flaxseed oil. For most of the skin, it is important to help the skin moisturized from the outside.
