How to avoid dr y winter skin Frosty winter air can wreak havoc on your skin! Here are Go Vita’s top five tips to keep your skin radiant this winter.
SKIN AS NATURE INTENDED IT. New and improved
Dry, dehydrated skin is extremely common in cold temperatures. As there is less humidity in the air in winter, your skin naturally dries out. With less moisture in your skin, microscopic cracks can start to appear that affect the barrier of the skin. This can lead to skin redness, itchiness and sensitivities. The good news is there are things you can do to provide extra nourishment and rehydration for your skin. 1. Exfoliate: Exfoliate your face and neck once or twice a week to remove those dry, dead skin cells that cause your skin to look flaky and dull. This will really boost radiance and promote healthy skin cell renewal. 2. Extra moisture: Nourishing your skin can help prevent the skin becoming dull, dry and flaky. Go Vita loves ... Weleda Skin Food Body Lotion – a deeply nourishing and intensive moisturisation for dry to very dry skin. Easy to apply, this quickly absorbing lotion harnesses the power of Weleda’s Skin Food with its extracts of natural pansy, 100 percent organic calendula, chamomile and sunflower seed oil wrapped in the indulgent fragrance of orange, lavender and benzoin. 3. Extra nutrients: A supplement of skin healthy nutrients including silica, biotin, zinc, vitamins C and D and maritime pine bark, can help collagen formation, maintain skin integrity and structure as well as improve hydration and elasticity of the skin. 4. Avoid hot showers: Even though it is extremely tempting to enjoy long, hot showers and baths in winter, this is actually very drying for your skin. Hot water robs the skin of moisture, so it is preferable to have a short shower in lukewarm, tepid water. Gently pat yourself dry to keep your skin as calm and relaxed as possible. 5. Hydrate: Water helps to transport nutrients necessary for skin healing around the body, as well as eliminating waste matter. For hydrated, healthy and youthful looking skin, aim to drink between two and three litres of fresh, filtered water daily – yes, even in winter!
