Skin Care in Winter 2

Skin Care in Winter 2

An article of a dermatologist's view of tips for skin care in winter:
'how to save your skin from winter damage'

As a dermatologist, most of them is for rough, dry or atop skin types.

Dr Hurley in the article suggests that to keep your skin moist, have eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day.

Drinking water for the skin, as a beauty tip, is not unique. I have heard of that drinking water is good for blood circulation.

If you drink plenty of cold water, it may internally cool your body temperature down, causing of slow blood circulation.
Also if you drink too much water as your kidney cannot effectively turn it into urine, it may lead to swellings on your body and face.

Seramide is the key ingredient for a velvety skin. It exists in epidermis and works as skin's natural barrier.

So if you want to internally moisturise, have hot drink such as herb tea when you are thirsty.

And externally, give cosmetics such as a lotion and a moisturiser containing seramide to your skin to protect it from dryness.

And one more thing is that avoid using cosmetics containing much chemical or petrochemical ingredients/agents causing irritancy or rash.
