However, no matter how annoying these skin problems may be, you should find solace in the fact that they are easily treatable! You just need to pay a little bit of attention to your skincare and you’ll feel and look great. Here are some of the most common winter skin problems and solutions that you should know about!

1. Winter Rash

If you suffer from conditions like dermatitis or psoriasis, keep in mind that they can get worse during the winter due to the constant exposure to the dry and cold breeze. It can lead to some major winter rashes as well. Include natural oils like coconut oil, avocado oil, or safflower oil in your skincare therapy, as they help you keep your skin dehydrated for longer durations. Also, apply a moisturizer straight after your bath to avoid any kind of dryness.

2. Dry Skin

Your body produces sebum naturally, which helps in moisturizing your skin and hair. If you have dry skin then your body does not produce sebum abundantly. This can be an issue in itself, but when you add to it the dryness the winter season brings with it, it becomes a huge problem! Your skin can get really dry! If you suffer from dry skin, you need to apply a rich moisturizer that will help you retain the sebum your body produces. You definitely need to apply it at night and during the day as well to combat the problem of a dry face in winter.

3. Skin cracks on the body

One of the most common winter skin problems is cracked skin on your body. This condition can occur on your arms, legs or even face. When you have dry skin, you are deprived of sebum, which results in less moisture in your body. The sun rays worsen the condition and can lead to skin cracks on the body, which can be painful as well. Do not forget to apply a body lotion or a moisturizer on your arms and legs after you take a bath. Make sure your moisturizer has enough oils and fatty acids in its ingredients.

4. Winter Itchy Skin

The cold not only causes dryness on your body but also causes dehydration. Both are different from each other as dehydration is caused when your skin is not able to retain any oil in it. This leads to oily and tight skin, which can also lead to itchy skin. The best solution to your problem of winter itchy skin is to use a lotion with lactic acid to improve exfoliation.

5. Dandruff

Dandruff occurs due to various reasons and a dry flaky scalp is one of the biggest reasons out there. While you wear hats and caps, your scalp can get dry and hence lead to the accumulation of dirt and dandruff. What you can do is wash your hair with an anti-dandruff shampoo and include Aloe Vera gel into the mix. Rinsing your hair with Apple Cider Vinegar is also a great way to combat dandruff.

We’ve got you covered! https://garekarsmdskinclinic.com/get-rid-of-dark-spots-face/ https://garekarsmdskinclinic.com/get-rid-of-dark-spots-face/#respond Thu, 12 Sep 2019 06:14:25 +0000 https://garekarsmdskinclinic.com/?p=2290 Laser treatment Laser treatment is a cosmetic treatment provided by many leading dermatologists. While you may have heard of laser treatment for hair removal, there’s a version of this treatment that’s great for getting rid of dark spots (and acne scars too). Of course, this is a voluntary procedure so you must be sure you want to go through with it! Speak to your dermatologist about side effects beforehand.

Chemical peels

To be fair, chemical peels sound terrifying. In this procedure, a dermatologist applies a chemical solution to the skin that makes it peel off so that new skin can take its place. If you want to get this treatment done, just make sure that you’re getting it done through a certified skin specialist, and not through a random quack! A high dose of the chemicals can end up burning or scarring your skin for good!

Microdermabrasion

A powerful exfoliation technique, microdermabrasion is a popular treatment that you can avail from a dermatologist. In this, a machine first sprays crystals onto your face, and then suctions them off to clean your face of all the dead skin cells. It also helps boost your collagen production, which is great for women who want their skin to look radiant and youthful even in their 30s.

Cryosurgery

Don’t be fooled by the word surgery – this is a non-invasive procedure! During this procedure, a dermatologist will spray liquid nitrogen onto the dark spots, and this will freeze the spots effectively. Once the spot freezes, it turns white. The process of freezing may occur a few times, based on how stubborn the dark spots are. Once its done, the dark spots will form a scab, which will then peel off to reveal clean, gorgeous skin underneath! Of course, there’s one caveat – you cannot pick or scratch the scab! Think of it as chickenpox for beauty! Of course you can also explore a few DIY treatments like using lemon to lighten the dark spots, but do keep in mind that such treatments only work for very faint spots, and are not always permanent.

With the right kinds of products and treatments, you can wake up with soft, naturally glowing skin that looks as healthy as it feels. While the idea of establishing a nighttime skincare routine can be daunting – after all, who needs another list of tasks to get through? – It is actually very simple to follow. Here is a simple routine that you can set for yourself (along with variations for skin types at the appropriate stages):

Step 1: Cleansing

It does not matter what skin type you have – you must cleanse your face before bed. Your skin is your largest organ and is exposed to dust, grime, and pollution on a daily basis. Cleaning impurities that have settled right under your skin or into your pores are the first step to any skincare routine. You can use a mild cleanser like Cetaphil, or a stronger one, depending on your needs and how much makeup you use. Once you have cleaned your face, wipe off the water and get ready for step 2.

Step 2: Scrubbing

Scrubbing or exfoliating your face is the sister step to cleansing. It helps to take away dead skin cells and stubborn dirt from your skin and really primes the base of your skin for the rest of the routine. You can choose to exfoliate your skin a few times a week, or every day, depending not only on your needs but also on the kind of facial scrub you use. Mild, organic scrubs can be used daily while chemically laced products should not be used more than twice a week.

Step 3: Packing it on

Now that you’ve taken off all the unwanted things from your skin, it is time to pack some goodness in. A face pack or a sheet mask can be used for this purpose, depending on how much time you have. If you have oily skin, choose masks that have neem, turmeric, or activated charcoal for the best results. If you want to get rid of acne prone skin then this step-by-step Korean Skin Care Routine for oily skin can prove really helpful too. If you have dry skin, masks with aloe, honey, and vitamin E are the best for your skin. If you have combination skin, then you can focus on the issue you want to address first. For instance, if you have a lot of acne, you can pick a neem mask. If you want to get rid of tanning, a raw fruit mask should work.

Step 4: Using a Toner

Toners help bring the pH balance of your skin back to normal and after using so many products, this I a step you cannot ignore. Add a few drops of toner to a cotton pad and wipe your face in circular motions. Some people use a toner before using a mask. If you use organic products, you can use the toner to clean residual dirt and your pores before applying the mask. However, if you are using chemically laced masks, use the toner afterward to restore your skin’s pH levels.

Step 5: Moisturize

Finally, use a moisturizer of your choice so that your skin remains hydrated and soft while you sleep! For more skin care tips, queries & consultation, visit our skin specialists in Gurgaon today!]]> https://garekarsmdskinclinic.com/nighttime-skincare-routine/feed/ 0
