Although winters don’t actually hit Karachi people from other cities and all around the globe have the privilege to enjoy winters and its cold breeze. I love the idea of baggy and cozy sweaters warm bonfire nights and lots of chocolate.
When it’s cold outside we often forget to drink enough water throughout the day, but this is just when low humidity is most likely to strip our poor skin of its moisture. Remember to sip slowly through the day rather than gulp and to use a reusable bottle. Choose your facial moisturizer and body lotion carefully. Apply moisturizer or lotion immediately after washing to lock in as much moisture as possible, and don’t forget to include your hands and your feet, the most hardworking parts of your body.
Winter is a great time of year for skin treatments. Your skin will become drier and often more sensitive with the onset of colder weather and central heating. Make sure you keep hydrated during the day; swap your coffee for green tea which has great antioxidant effects. f you are having to apply a moisturiser during the day it is likely your skin routine needs tweaking. If you’re using a lotion, try swapping it for a cream, massaging it into your skin for 30 seconds to maximise its effects.
Make sure your lips are sealed with an effective ointment at all times, particularly before eating and drinking. Also, if you use a very gentle skin wash and moisturise twice a day it will help. Sometimes an anti-inflammatory cream may be needed too, for a short time
