How to Prevent and Treat Dry Winter Skin: Expert Tips For Moisture
SHARE

Winter can be a magical time of year, with crisp air, cozy wardrobes, and the beauty of snowfall. However, for many people, winter also brings dry, itchy, and red skin. According to a survey of 2,000 Americans, 83 percent experience changes in their skin during the winter, with 60 percent considering their skin unhealthy due to dryness and itchiness.

To combat dry winter skin, dermatologists Dr. Anna Chacon and Dr. Tess Mauricio offer valuable insights. Dry skin in winter is characterized by rough, flaky skin, itching, tightness, and increased sensitivity. Exposure to cold air and indoor heating can strip the skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation.

To prevent and treat dry winter skin, there are several strategies you can employ. Limiting shower time to 5-10 minutes with lukewarm water can help preserve skin oils. Staying hydrated by drinking water can also improve skin moisture from the inside out. Switching to thick, emollient moisturizers with ingredients like urea, ceramides, or shea butter can provide a protective barrier for the skin.

It’s crucial to moisturize immediately after cleansing to lock in moisture and restore the skin barrier. Products like Rhode’s Barrier Butter or Skinfix Barrier+ Ceramide + Ectoin Hydrating Gentle Gel Cleanser are excellent choices for hydrating and soothing the skin. Additionally, gentle exfoliation once a week followed by moisturizing can help combat dry skin without stripping natural oils.

Using a humidifier in your home can also help combat the effects of low humidity in winter, providing extra moisture for your skin to absorb. By following these tips and being proactive in your skincare routine, you can keep dry winter skin at bay and enjoy the magic of the season without the discomfort of flaky, itchy skin. During the winter months, the dry air can wreak havoc on your skin, leaving it dehydrated and prone to irritation. Dr. Mauricio recommends using a portable humidifier to maintain moisture in the air, especially overnight while you sleep. This simple device can make a big difference in preventing your skin from becoming dehydrated.

But what about when you’re on the go? You don’t have to rely solely on your humidifier at home. Dr. Chacon suggests carrying an atomizer or spray with you to give your skin a quick dose of moisture throughout the day. This way, you can keep your skin hydrated and refreshed between your morning and evening skincare routines.

In addition to moisturizing on the go, it’s important to protect your skin from the harsh winter elements. Dr. Mauricio recommends accessorizing with gloves and scarves to minimize exposure to cold wind. Not only will this help keep your skin from drying out, but it also gives you an excuse to treat yourself to a cozy cashmere scarf for the holidays.

In conclusion, winter can be tough on your skin, but with a few simple tweaks to your skincare routine and daily habits, you can keep dryness, flakiness, and itchiness at bay. Look for gentle, hydrating ingredients in your cleansers and moisturizers, use a humidifier at home, and protect your skin from the cold weather. By following these tips, you can ensure that dry, flaky skin is a thing of the past. And remember, our editors may earn a commission from purchases made through the links in this article.
