Hot water makes you feel good in cold weather but when you want to wash your face or hands do not use hot water. Lukewarm water helps in maintaining some moisture from skin, but hot water will swipe off oil from the skin.

Moisturizing helps a lot in winter weather but your skin needs immediate moisturizing after wash. Keep your cream with you always , in bath area, in compact form in your bag and use liberally every time you wash.

• Special care at bedtime

Moisturize areas like hands, feet, elbows, and knees as these areas have thin skin and tend to lose moisture faster than other areas on the body. Deep moisturize then and wean cotton gloves and socks till morning to maintain the moisture.

• Exfoliate

Moisture can’t get in if the dead cells, Find an exfoliating mask and use it on your face and your hands, as well as gently on your lips, then follow immediately with moisture to truly see smoother difference. 

 

• Healthy lifestyle

Make sure you’re getting enough vitamins,minerals. Vitamin C and zinc will support the healthy production of collagen and elastin. Also consume more fatty fish and flax seed to give your skin the building blocks it needs to appear supple and smooth.

• Use DIY Masks

Mix what you suits you together to create a cream or paste, and leave on skin for 10-30 minutes for lasting hydration .
