Tips To take Care Of Your Winter Skin:


In this regard, Dr. Blossom Kochhar sahred tips on how to take care of your skin during winters:



  • First let’s start with cleansing or double cleansing. To keep your skin looking fresh and healthy, use a cream based cleanser during the winter months.

  • After cleansing, you can use a skin toner that is non-alcoholic, to smoothen the skin. The toner can be used during the day to freshen up your skin when the skin might feel dry. Hot water can strip the skin so either you go for lukewarm water or cold water. 

  • After this, one of the most important steps is to moisturise your skin. You can use any moisturiser that suits your skin.

  • Lastly, don't forget to apply sunscreen, whether you're indoors or outdoors, to keep your skin looking healthy and hydrated. Make sure to use an SPF 15 sunscreen with minerals.

  • Lips are particularly susceptible to dryness. Use a good-quality lip balm with moisturising ingredients like shea butter or beeswax.
