Got Dry, Flaky And Cracked Skin? Here’s A Shahnaz Husain Backed Skincare Routine To Rescue You

Seasonal changes influence the skin, since the skin is an external organ. The skin loses moisture to the atmosphere. This is more so in winter. Dry skins become drier and the loss of moisture must be replenished. Habitual lack of moisture can cause changes in the skin like lines, wrinkles, flaking, redness, cracks, etc.  

We brung you a DIY skincare routine from Shahnaz Husain beauty closet that will add back all the glow to your skin and make it beam like the moon.

DIY Skincare Routine For Dry Skin:

As seasonal changes take place, it becomes necessary to adjust the daily skin-care routine, which is extremely important, as it helps to prevent flaking and cracking of the skin. It also helps to delay signs of premature ageing in dry skin. 

• If the skin is very dry, avoid soap. A cleansing cream or gel containing aloe vera should be used. 
• Aloe Vera is a powerful moisturizer and also an antioxidant. 
• Use a rich moisturising cream, instead of a lotion. 
• Apply sunscreen with a high SPF of 40 before going out in the sun.  
• Keep the skin moisturized at all times and use a moisturizer under make-up. 
• The removal of creams should be done with moist cotton wool.

The Benefits Of Dry Skin Appropriate Skincare This Winter:

• It is important to know that the skin absorbs moisture in the form of an emulsion of oil and water. 
• It cannot absorb water or oil by itself.  Therefore, the only way of dealing with the problem is to apply moisturizers daily, to replenish the loss of moisture and keep the skin soft and moist. 
• Dry skins also need daily nourishment with the application of rich creams, so that the skin receives emollients and is able to hold moisture.  
• The skin also needs to be protected from further moisture loss. This can be done with the use of sunscreens and moisturizers.  
• Dry skins also need daily nourishment with the application of rich creams, so that the skin receives emollients and is able to hold moisture.  This helps to prevent flaking skin. 
• Nourishing is an important aspect of care for dry skins, because it provides emollients and improves the skin’s ability to hold moisture. So, every night, after cleansing your skin, use a nourishing / night cream. 
• Look for a nourishing cream, containing ingredients like wheatgerm oil, carrot seed, almond, as they are rich in Vitamins A and E.
