Does Your Skin Get Dry and Flaky in Winter? Try These 5 Simple Remedies
Dry and rough skin is main problem that every person suffers during winter season. Cold weather people prefer taking bath with warm water. Although hot water feels good while bathing, it dries the skin. Also, we feel less thirsty during winter season, because of this amount of water consumed decreases. When the water supply to the body decreases, its effect is immediately visible. The result of cold winds, dry air and bathing with hot water is that the skin becomes rough, dry and dull. When you run your fingernails on your hands and feet, white scratches immediately appear.
Some people experience itching and peeling of the skin. Although this may seem minor, it is a sign of reduced moisture and nutrition in the skin. That is why it is necessary to take special care of the skin in winter.
Here are some easy home remedies to take care of the skin in winter. They are very simple and effective.
1. Every day before going to bed, mix a little ghee and two drops of rose water in coconut oil and massage gently on your hands and feet. This natural moisturizer deeply nourishes the skin, retains moisture and reduces dryness immediately.
2. Applying a few drops of almond oil in aloe vera gel is beneficial. The skin looks very soft and radiant. This mixture is an effective natural cream in the cold. It is also easy to make at home. Apply it once a week.
3. Apply a paste of honey and curd twice a week. Honey moisturizes the skin, while the lactic acid in curd removes dead skin cells and increases shine. Therefore, honey curd is nutritious for the skin.
4. Keep the temperature of the bath water a little warm. Although it feels good to bathe in hot water, it has a bad effect on the skin. This is a small but effective remedy.
5. A change in diet is also necessary. Drink enough water every day, and include sesame seeds, flaxseeds, dried fruits, avocados, and coconut. These foods provide moisture and vitamins to the skin from within. Skin care in winter is not just about applying lotion, but also keeping the body healthy from within. These home and simple remedies will remove dry skin, whiteheads, and roughness, and leave your skin soft, radiant, and naturally beautiful!
