Shahnaz Husain Backed Winter Skincare Routine For Normal To Dry Skin

Seasonal changes influence the skin. Winter is the dry season and the skin loses moisture to the atmosphere. Therefore, as seasonal changes take place, it is necessary to adjust the daily skin-care routine in order to prevent moisture loss and also replenish moisture.

Dry Skin And Its Winter Skincare:

• Dry skins lack both oil and moisture. If they are not kept moisturized, they become prone to lines and wrinkles. In some cases, there may be rough, red, flaky patches. 
• If the skin is very dry, avoid soap. Cleanse twice a day, with a cleansing cream or gel. Apply the cleanser and wipe it off with moist cotton wool. 
• After cleansing in the morning, tone the skin, using rose water or rose-based skin tonic. 
• Using cotton wool, wipe the skin and then pat it briskly.

• For combination skin, apply a moisturizing lotion, while for normal skin, apply light weight products.
• Apply sunscreen before going out in the sun to protect the skin from moisture loss. 
• For dry and dehydrated skin, a sun block cream is better, while for normal to oily skin, use a sunscreen gel.
