Freezing wind chills, low humidity levels, and dry indoor heat are all winter conditions that can leave your skin looking less hydrated and radiant than normal. Here are some ways to combat dry and flaky skin during the winter months, according to dermatologists.Taking long, hot showers may feel comforting when it’s cold outside, but according to dermatologists, hot water can strip away your skin’s natural oils, causing the skin to dry out., a board-certified fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology with expertise in medical and cosmetic dermatology recommends “keeping showers short, anywhere between five to 10 minutes.
It’s also important to use creams or ointments that contain hydrating and barrier-repairing ingredients like ceramide 3, squalene, and glycerin rather than lotions,Dryness, itchiness, and mild eczema flare-ups can often be managed at home by avoiding irritants like certain soaps, perfumes, fabrics, and other scented products, Dr. Palm noted. Deodorant soaps and other products that are perfumed, scented, or contain alcohol can strip away natural oils from the skin and irritate it even further.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirm Dr. Palm’s advice, noting how water helps the body maintain a normal temperature, lubricates and cushions the joints, and helps get rid of waste.
