Moisturizing the skin in the coldest and driest months of the year is essential to avoid flaking and roughness.

It works like this: the cold, the wind, and the low humidity of the air rob the hydration skin, which spends the entire winter threatening to peel, become white, and even itchy. The antidote for the snake-effect is to take care of your hydration. Like? Find out below tips to rejuvenating dull skin (วิธี แก้ หน้า หมอง ค ล้ํา which is the term in Thai).

1. Short Bath

We know that taking a cold shower in winter, nobody deserves it! “For this reason, instead of taking a bath with warm or colder water, reduce the bath time,” says a dermatologist.

2. Less Soap Is More

The foam gives that feeling of luxury and richness in the bath, but it dries the skin in excess. “Also, avoid using soap several times a day. Once is enough in the body extension.” In addition, it is worth changing the bar soaps for more moisturizing ones.

3. Conscious Exfoliations

If you usually use exfoliating sponges in winter, it is better to change them for softer washcloths to eliminate dead cells. “This way, you avoid exfoliating the skin too much, not removing the most protective surface layers.”

4. Mandatory Hydrations

The frequency of hydration is between once and twice a day. “However, if the skin is very dry or even itchy, there may be a need to replace the moisturizer more often, even if only in some parts of the body, such as legs and arms,” says the dermatologist.

5. Ideal Moisturizers

The type of moisturizer will depend on the skin. If it is more oily or mixed, there will often be no need for heavier products. “However, dry and cold-sensitive skins require some special care, such as denser moisturizing formulas. And don’t forget about the sunscreen because the harmful action of the sun, both UV and visible light, also contribute to dryness and skin aging”, says a dermatologist.
