Skin Care In Winters

February 16, 2009




oily-skin-careWeather is not a problem for your skin, if you are conscious about the precautions. What does really happen during winter? Your oil glands just below the skin go inert and thus build a little moisture only. When the skin further get dried up due to sun and wind, you easily find skin problems like chapping, scaling and itching.

Tip#1

Give out soap entirely. Soap is found to be acting as a degreasing agent. As a substitute, use milk cream or milk-top mixed with a few drops of limejuice and a bit of turmeric powder. In the night, take a tablespoon of milk cream and mix it well with few drops of glycerine, olive oil and rose water. Apply the mixture over entire face, neck and hands. In the morning, remove the substance gently using a tissue paper, and take bath in warm water.

Tip#2

For scaling problems, vitamin A rich foods are necessary. The vitamin is helpful in preventing the skin’s affinity towards dryness. If the dryness is fairy serious, take vitamin A tablets under medical supervision. As the vitamin taken indiscriminately causes severe toxic effect in the body, you should consult a doctor first.

Tip#3

Eczema is another commonly found skin disorder. Symptoms are like that your skin turns red initially then go dry, scaly and rough. Make walnut paste, and then press out its oil. Apply on affected areas few times a day. When this remedy does not work for you, take second step. Get a dry coconut and hold it over a burning flame. After the coconut-skin is blackened, place it on a tin plate and cover it suddenly with a vessel. After a few seconds, remove the vessel and you get a layer of oil on it. Apply the oil on the affected skin areas twice a day for a week.

Tip#4

Next enemy you encounter in the winter is itching. Mix equal quantity of coconut oil and sandalwood oil together.

Apply it on the itching area a couple of times daily. In fact itching are of many kinds, of them winter’s itch is really severe one which is due to excessive dryness of skin. Everyday an hour before taking bath, mix equal quantity of curd and olive oil and on it pour few drops of essence of rose. Apply the mixture on your body.

Tip#5

The main areas that easily get skin problems are your feet and lips. To preserve the sole of your feet, rub it at bath time with soapy water and pumice stone. Use the mixture of olive and coconut oil for massaging the area. For your lips, use rose flower and milk. Make paste out of petals of rose and mix it with milk cream. Apply smoothly on the lips before going to bed in the nights.

Next time have a winter-friendly skin!
