Dermatologists say that when it is chilly outside and dry and warm inside there is a good recipe to prevent cracking of lips, chapping of skin and scaling. We should pay special attention to our skin during cold time, especially if it concerns winter weather. Humidity outside can also influence badly on your skin. It is highly recommended to apply a moisturizer that is based on cream every day. This is the best way to prevent chapping! Use moisturizer after taking a shower when the skin is clean. If you have a sensitive skin you can choose a moisturizer without lanolin.
We wash hands many times a day without thinking about it. This action can also cause chapping of hands. Use moisturizer or a mild soap afterwards and your hands will not be so dry.
When you take a shower, be careful with the temperature of water. It must not be very hot. The cleanser must be not-irritating. After this procedure apply the moisturizer based on mineral oil or petroleum jelly. These components will make your skin look healthy and well-groomed. In general, it is better to use only some soap for an everyday shower. Natural moisturizers are the best for your skin and contain all the natural components your skin needs.
It is also recommended to use sunscreen in winter and in summer. It may seem strange that it also should be used for winter time but if you want your skin to be young and protected during spending your time in the snow, you would better follow this advice.
There is one more thing you should remember. Avoid visiting tanning beds. They damage your skin, lead to early ageing and, furthermore, raise the risk of skin cancer. Instead of visiting tanning beds go for holidays to tropical countries and get a natural suntan.
