Mostly people experience dry and rough skin during winters. The low intake of water also adds to this dryness and eventually give rise to skin problems. This season, follow these 5 dramatologically approved skincare tips and feel the difference.

Moisturizer, Moisturize and Moisturize

Moisturizing your skin frequently, especially with the products having Hyaluronic Acid, Ceramides and Petroleum, will make your dry skin healthy and supple. Always opt for thick moisturizing creams over the lighter ones. You can also try CeraVe Moisturizing Cream, Vaseline, or Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream.

Say Yes to Hydrating Cleansers

During winters, avoid using cleansers that take away the natural moisture of your skin. These are usually products that make your skin “squeaky clean” and are harsh on the skin. Instead use cleansers that are gentle, fragrance free and hydrating like CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser, LaRoche Posay Toleraine Hydrating Cleanser, and BMD Gentle Cleanse.

Avoid Hot Showers

Though hot showers in winter feel amazing, they make your skin dry by taking away the moisture. If you love taking hot showers, make sure you limit it to maximum 15 minutes and then again get back to lukewarm water.

Use Fragrance Free Products

Scented products, loofahs and scrubs can invite further dryness and even eczema flare in some cases. So, it is better to avoid these products and switch to fragrance free or gentle products if you have a history of skin diseases, especially eczema.

Keep Exfoliating

Exfoliation makes your skin smooth and supple. However, make sure you are using gentle scrubs and moisturizers containing lactic acid like CeraVe SA or AmLactin.
