Winter Skin Care Tips For Healthy Flawless Glowing And Hydrated Skin:  Because no one wants chapped, flaky and sore skin

How to get glowing skin

Your skin act differently in winter. It is up against the elements, subject to colder temperatures, fiercer winds, low humidity, gas heaters and hot showers. So it is unsurprising that many of us end up with flaky and lackluster skin when the cold comes in. But it doesn't have to be that way. Not if you understand the important requirements of your skin in colder climates and how to care for your winter skin.

Here are 10 important thing you should be doing for your skin and body during the winter months.

Drink lots of water

This is likely the most important matter you can do for your skin and body in winter. We all know the chilly, windy air in winter dries us out, so it is most important to make sure you stay hydrated on the inside to avoid dry and chapped skin. When you do not drink sufficient water and you become dehydrated, your skin suffers.

The recommended amount of water to drink daily is two liters - something you should aim for everyday. If you drink 3 litters it's so good for get glowing  skin

Avoid really hot showers

Hot water softens the natural oils in your skin and allows them to leech out, leaving you feeling dry and flaky. So, if you can avoid having very-hot showers, or even just turn the temperature down slightly, your skin will thank you.

Mind it oily skin and hydrated skin are not the same thing

Having hydrated skin means your skin is rich in water, and this has nothing to do with how oily your skin is. In an effort to beat the shimmer, many people will inadvertently dehydrate their skin with harsh cleansers (and maybe even get off moisturizing) and making the skin chapped, flaky and grudging. Dehydrated skin also ages a lot faster so trust us, you do not want to be dehydrated this winter. Everyone, even those with oily skin, should be paying more attention to skin hydration in winter and ditching the harsh cleansers.

Adding a hydration booster is also a great idea for anyone looking for an more hit of moisture. Ledge it on below your moisturizer. It won't leave you skin looking glittering and your skin will thank you for it.

If you're not already, use night cream

Using a night cream is significant all year round but specially important in winter. Your skin act differently at night as it uses this time to rest and regenerate. So giving your skin a little more moisture kick to help the regeneration process works wonders. If your skin is dry and flaky, adding this one extra step in your nightly routine will change your skin for the  best. If you find night creams to be too heavy, use a few drops of rose-hip oil instead. It's cheap, it's filled with antioxidants and it's  best for all skin types

Exfoliation is key

It is difficult for your skin to absorb your moisturizer, if it's shielded by a layer of dead skin, which is why  flake in winter is so emergent. Using a light or gentle exfoliate every second day in winter will confirm that all dead skin cells and debris are removed and your skin can effectively soak up the moisturizer you put on it. This goes for your face and also your body, especially your knees and elbows.

Add a serum to your skin routine

Serums, much like face oils, can be much more pregnant in imparting  moisture to the skin than traditional moisturizers. Serums and face oils have smaller molecules, allowing them to sink and penetrate deeper into our skin, hydrating more intensely and more completely. Anyone with ageing skin should have a serum in their skincare routine already but in winter, everyone should  Envisage adding one to their routine. We love the affordable La Mav Intense Moisture Nightly Repair Nectar. Use it underneath your regular moisturizer.

Switch to a body oil rather than a moisturizing cream

As mentioned, oils have smaller molecules that regular moisturizer and can hydrate more intensely and on a deeper level than creams. So, if you're noticing that your legs and arms are still scaly even after lathering them in your moisturizing cream, try switching to a body oil. We love Sanctuary (sanctum)  4 Day Moisture Body Oil Spray.

Coconut oil is your friend

Dry, scaly legs? Rough elbows? Damaged hair?  Coconut Oil is the best answer. Not the greatly formulated moisturizer variety either, the run of the mill white stuff you get in a jar at the supermarket. Lather it on your skin and hair and you'll notice a world of difference. But avoid using it on the skin on your face. Coconut oil is very rich and the skin on your face is very delicate, so stick to your normal moisturizer when it comes to your face. You can find out more about why coconut oil is good for you in our guide to buying coconut oil.

Consider changing your makeup products

Ever noticed how your stick foundation is soft as a marshmallow in summer but difficult as a rock in winter? The temperature affects the way our makeup products act and the way they sit on our skin. In summer, it's very common for people to choose gratifying foundations and lipstick. But these products can be contrivance too drying in winter, especially if you're already prone to dry skin. Select a moisturizing lip product and dewy foundation during the winter months. Not only will your skin become more hydrated but your makeup will wear greater and will be less prone to creasing.

Sleep on silk

Silk fabrics are a lot less boring and drying to your skin than cotton. If you're  endurance with  flabby and flaky winter skin, it could be price switching your current cod case for a silk one that will be a small bit kinder to your mouth. Also, make sure to change your cod cases  daily. Your skin wont be pleased rest on a pillow case covered with two week old night cream.
