Skin changes with the seasons and it is important women adjust their daily skin care routine throughout the year. During autumn and winter, low temperatures, low humidity and brisk winds deplete skin of its natural nutrients, which can lead to a dry, lacklustre appearance.
It is much easier to prevent dryness and irritation than it is to alleviate it, so now is the best time to start changing the routine before the weather becomes even colder.
AVOID LONG, HOT SHOWERS
As wonderful as a leisurely bath or shower can feel in the winter, too much water can break down the elements that keep your healthy outer layers intact. Soaking for as little as 20 minutes can damage the skin's barrier, which puts out a welcome mat for dryness.
Keep showers or baths short and at a moderate temperature.
