Skin reacts to different weather condition and every one inclined to take care of the skin has to understand their skin type. The way you take care of the skin also differs, according to different weather conditions. In winter, due to low temperatures, low humidity and strong harsh winds the skin gets depleted of its natural lipid layer, which keeps the skin from drying out. The dry air from room heaters and other heating sources also suck the moisture out of skin. Due to exposure to cold winds, skin"s temperature goes down and so the blood vessels get constricted, thereby reducing the flow of blood to the skin, and sweat glands. This leads to reduced water content, leading to dry flaky skin and itching. Also people ,due to not being thirsty in winter, tend to consume less water which dehydrates the skin. So it is essential that skin care routine has to go along with seasonal changes. The moisture that the skin loses must be replenished. This habitual loss of moisture can lead to skin forming lines and wrinkles, the signs that we associate with ageing. Flaking of the skin is also possible.
There are some tips to keep the skin glowing even in winter. Eat a balanced diet, which includes vegs, fruits and fresh fish every day. Avoid coffee and alochol. Use a humidifier inside the house to keep the skin moist. Do exercise to sweat, which increases the blood flow to the skin and keeps it hydrate.
