During winter, our skin faces the worst time. The humidity is dehydrating and the cold temperature stresses the skin and weakens the skin’s protective barrier and causes more water to evaporate. The skin reacts to this by redness irritation and hypersensitivity and chapping.
Steamy hot shower although soothing, is harsh to the skin. This washes off the natural moisture of our skin and dries it. It is only one of the problems. If you have oily skin, during winter, this may become normal. But if you have normal skin, the tendency is for it to become dry. Solutions for this are to apply milder cleansing and choose rich moisturizers.
Emollients are the most important for skin care during this season. It does not only moisturize and softens your skin but also forms a protective layer to its surface to keep the moisture locked and prevents the skin from dehydration.

Oilfree Sunblock Part 1
When it’s chilly, sunshine feels so good on the skin. But as UV rays never really go away, sunblock is still your friend in winter. When it’s not warm outside, the last thing you’d like to broadcast to the world is that you’ve got sunblock on. Maybe they’ll think you have overactive pores at the wrong time of the year, maybe they won’t. So don’t take the risk and grab one of these instead.
Neutrogena Healthy Defense Oil-Free Sunblock Lotion SPF 45 is extremely popular because it is light and doesn’t cause breakouts, great for sensitive skin. There is also a stick variant in SPF 30. Hawaiian Tropic also has a stick in SPF 50+, aside from Oil Free Faces Sunblock SPF 30.
