Since it's still cold, I'll share with you some of my winter skincare tips:
- Keep skin hydrated. It's ideal to drink water to keep hydrated, but it's best to spritz it on your skin. Follow it up with a heavy moisturizer to keep the skin well supple. Remember that with humidity, it's not about the water you consume.
- Showers should be warm, not scalding hot. Taking hot showers not only scald your skin (tee-hee), but it also draws moisture from your skin thus making it itchy.
- When it comes with soaps, switch to moisturizing ones. I've read somewhere that you should always match your skincare products with the season, so do that. Liquid soaps, too, are more moisturizing than the solid, bar ones. Plus, it prevents soap scum because it's synthetic.
- Wash your hair often. I promise you that your hair won't fill up the room. Also, invest in a good, rich conditioner to combat the frizzies.
- Stay kissable with lip balms. I always reapply after drinking or eating (or putting something in my mouth). Don't miss a beat with this one. It's also ideal to have one with SPF.
- If you feel that heavy lotions make you feel icky when applied during the day, slather them on your hands and feet at night before sleeping. To get best results, wear socks and gloves after applying.
