    Winter Skin Care Tips by Dermatologists

Switch to a Creamy Cleanser Harsh cleansers can strip the skin of moisture. Opt for a more hydrating, cream based cleanser in winter. Thicker Moisturizer During winter, use a thicker, occlusive moisturizer to lock in hydration and protect against cold, dry air. Humidifier   Consider using a humidifier at home to add moisture to the air and prevent dry, cracked skin. Lip Care: Lips can easily become chapped in winter. Use a thick lip balm with ingredients like beeswax or petroleum. Lukewarm Showers  Avoid hot showers, as they can strip your skin of its natural oils. Opt for lukewarm water and follow with a moisturizer. Exfoliate Gently: Dry skin can accumulate more dead skin cells. Exfoliate once a week to remove them but be gentle to avoid irritation.

These tips can help maintain healthy, glowing skin whether you’re dealing with acne, dry winter weather, or frequent flying
