Hello. This is Jhakas Blogger and today

I am going to tell you 6 simple steps

to keep your skin smooth and supple

During winter. Now that winter is here

Now that winter is here

we need to know how to take good care of our skin

Dry skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema

ichthyosis, tend to worsen during winter

So, we have to know how to take good care of our skin

so we can avoid any kind of dryness

flaking and itching due to these conditions

So, I am going to list out 6

six simple steps by which you can keep your skin smooth and supple

during winter

I know this sounds difficult but please

try to avoid taking bath with very hot water

during winter

what happens with hot water is that it tends to strip the skin

off its natural oil. It tends

to dry out your skin even more

which can cause more flaking and more itching

so refrain from using very hot water for bathing

If you take bath with bucket water then you can add

add 5-6 table spoons of oil

either coconut oil or olive oil into the bucket of water

and then bathe with that

this will help in forming a coating on your skin

and reduce the dryness. If you take shower

and you cannot refrain from using very hot water

then make sure

your showers last less than 2 mins.

you have to take a quick shower

do not stand under the shower for a long time

in winter. I know it can be relaxing after

a long day of work but

that is something you should avoid during winter time

actually if you have dry skin

you need not use soap on a daily basis. you can use soap

only in your armpit area and your genital area

and your feet. that is it. You don't have to

use soap on your arms, on your legs, abdomen

you can use use only once or twice in a week

that should be sufficient

if the surface is dry

nothing is going to stick to it. So even if you just

take a water bath, it is going to get

rid of all the dirt on the surface of the skin

it is when the skin is oily that dirt tends to

stick to it. So if you have very dry skin

there is no requirement for you to use soap

on a daily basis. you can maybe

use soap once of twice a week. and even if you do have oily skin

even if you do have oily skin, make sure you use a mild soap

or a glycerine based soap to take a bath

in winter.

Do not be very harsh

while using your towel. Do to vigorously

rub the towel on your skin that is only going to make

your skin dry and irritate the skin

just be very gentle

with the towel. You just need to dab

the excess water off. you don't have to really rub

it off or tug into your skin in order to dry it after bath

So make sure you are very gentle with your towel

after bath

apply a msozituroser right after taking a bath when the skin is still moist

this is the best time to apply a moisturiser

it will then seal the

water layer on the skin

and keep the skin hydrated for a long time

rather than applying moisturiser after your

skin dries out, it is always better

it is always better to use it when still moist. keep a bottle of

moisturiser in the bathroom

and as soon as you finish taking a bath when your skin

is still wet apply a liberal amount of moisturiser

on your entire body. this is the best

way to moisturise. once the

skin is completely dry, the moisturiser that you put on

the surface of skin will not penetrate

very deep. If you apply it when it is still moist..

tends to seal the moisture

and keep the moisturise intact and reduce

the trans epidermal water loss. So, remember,

to always moisturise your skin when it is still moist.

also remember to moisturise your skin

twice aa day. In winter, we tend to sleep with heater on

this will really dry

out your skin. so after taking

a bath in the morning, you should moisturiser your whole body

also before going off to sleep you should moisturise

your arms and legs and face and neck

this is very important if you want to prevent drying of skin

You want to layer up during winter

you want to stay warm but remember

that you must wear a layer of cotton

clothing under your woollen clothes

otherwise it is just going to irritate your skin and make your skin

more itchy and dry and flaky

especially if you have atopic dermatitis

or any type of eczema or suffer from psoriasis

you have to make sure that you have a non irritating layer

of clothing under your woollen clothes.

even if you wear socks

you have to make sure that the lining of the socks is made of

pure cotton. so remember to wear

a layer of cotton underneath your woollen clothes

if you ant to prevent your skin from getting

irritated.

So remember , that you have to use a sunscreen regularly

even during winter. People tend to

feel that because it is cloudy outside

because it is not very sunny in winter, that you can do

without a sunscreen. absolutely not

clouds do not block the UV radiation

and you have to apply sunscreen on a regular

basis even during winter. so if you are using

a gel sunscreen or a lotion formulation of sunscreen

then you might want to shift to a cream

formulation of sunscreen during winter.

cream formulation of sunscreen tends to be more hydrating

tends to soothe

dry skin. so make sure

that you use a sunscreen even in winter
