Dry skin in winter? Do this to improve | dermatologist | dr. Aanchal

Skin tends to get dry in winter time. So here are a few changes you need to make to your daily routine to reduce drying and to keep you skin supple even in winter months

🚿Keeps showers short
We all live long showers but they are very drying on the skin. If you like to bathe with hot water, keep shower duration short. If your skin is even dry, it is better to take a bucket bath. Add 8-10 spoons of coconut oil in the bucket of warm water

🧼 avoid using soap on body daily
Use soap one once or twice a week. You can apply soap only on armpits and groin on a daily basis. Thai is reduce drying

◼️Change your skin care actives
Go slow with agents like salicylic acid and glycolic acid and retinoids. They may irritate your skin. You can add serums with these ingredients intead like niacinamide, peptides, centella , panthenol, allantoin, hyaluronic acid or ceramide which are gentle on the skin.

🧴Use thicker moisturisers
Moisturisers with ceramides, colloidal oatmeal, Shea butter, cocoa butter or glycerine work well during winter months. Always apply moisturiser on damp skin.

    Where is the moisturing soap , every one have to use a rich moisturizing soap or face or body wash like moiz moisturizing soap or Cetaphil soap or venusia max Deep moisturising soap in winter as well as summer otherwise skin will never be hydrated, because the cleanser actually dries out the skin ..

  4. After Watching Your Video i have also started using the moisturizer from skininspired and its very nice and lightweight. Thanks for such video on skincare.

  5. Good advice
