Winterize
Your Skin
As
the temperature drops your skin may need a little extra attention. Cold, dry air and indoor heating
can rob your skin of essential moisture and lead to dry, cracked, itchy and uncomfortable skin.
There
are some easy ways to show your skin some TLC this winter. Sarah
Tattersall, winter survival specialist from 3M Canada, offers
the following tips and advice to keep your skin healthy and happy
this winter:
Moisturize
early and often - Regularly apply a heavy moisturizer skin
cream several times daily to seal in the moisture and replenish
rough, cracked or scaly skin. Look for oil based mositurizers
to seal in your skins natural moisture even on the dryest days.
Cracked
- but not broken - If the skin around your hands and nails
tends to crack, brush-on polymers like Nexcare skin crack care
is like an emergency first aid kit for your hands. Simply brush
it on to create a protective coating to help your hands breathe
and heal.
Cold and
flu defense - Most cold
and flu viruses
are spread by direct contact so it's important to wash your hands
thoroughly several times a day. An antibacterial gel is an effective
and hygienic alternative to soap and water to ward off germs and
bacteria.
Don't forget the sunscreen - While
it may feel cold outside, snow reflects sunlight, doubling the damaging effect of the rays. Wear
sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 15 at all times when outside.
Use a Humidifier - Indoor heat tends
to add to dry skin problems. A humidifier replaces the moisture in the air and helps keep your
skin from drying out.
