As December approaches, our skin starts to change dramatically. And no, I am not exaggerating.
There is less moisture in our skin during winter compared to summer, as well as fewer lipids in the skin barrier contributing to dryness and irritation.
This irritation causes Dry Skin, and Dry Skin is a condition in which the skin looks and feels rough, itchy, flaky or scaly. Having noticeable dry skin during winter is the consequence of the cold outdoor weather, harsh winds, and rain can strip the skin of its natural, moisturizing oils.
HOW TO PREVENT DRY SKIN
My Skin condition is combination skin which means my T-Zone tends to get super oily and my cheeks and the eye area are very dry and reactive. I’m always on the lookout for some ooph to help moisturize my cheeks. I tend to discard my aggressive scrubs, hot showers and keep my daily skin care routine as simple as I can. This way, my skin doesn’t get stripped of its natural oils – which are definitely needed for dry conditions!
