Closed pores are the reason for problems like acne and pimple during Summer. But some even from pimples during Winter. One of the major reasons for this is dehydrated skin. People usually drink less water during Winter. And both skin and body become dehydrated. Also, the weather and cold air, reduces the skin's moisture. Due to the decrease moisture, the skin cannot fight the bacteria that produces pimple and acne. However, following a few simple tips, you can keep your skin healthy and problem-free in Winter.
Refrain from excess exfoliation
Exfoliation is an important step in every skin care routine. But you have to be cautious about exfoliation in Winter. Excessive exfoliation causes the skin to dry up. This can increase the problem of pimples. So, you can use a moisturizing scrub 1-2 days a week to exfoliate the skin.
Don’t touch your skin unless you need to
Hands are the busiest part of our body. That's what you use to touch many things every day. Touching the face without cleaning hands means transferring germs and bacteria to your face. So if you have a habit of touching your face without any reason, start to control it from today. And before washing or applying anything on your face, you must clean your hands properly.
Change in weather? Change your cleanser!
Your summer cleanser can sometimes be the cause for pimples in Winter. If the skin feels too tight and/or dry after using the cleanser, it is time to change the cleanser. In winter, foaming cleansers can ruin the skin’s natural oil, which is needed. So, you can use a mild and cream-based cleanser.
Correct Moisturizer
Many people skip the moisturizer because of various breakouts, like acne and pimples. But skipping the moisturizer is more harmful for the skin. However, many moisturizers close off skin pores, as a result, acne increases. So before selecting a moisturizer, check if it’s non-comedogenic. Because there is less chance of skin pores being closed off with non-comedogenic products.
Winter actually increases our skin problems a little. So by maintaining regular care and a healthy lifestyle, your skin will stay healthy, fresh and beautiful!
