Winter skin care for dry,oily,normal and sensitive skin

Proper skin care is important in any season – but during the winter months, proper skin care can get a bit more complicated. A combination of blistering cold air outside and dry hot air inside is enough to leave anyone’s skin feeling a little stressed out. So before you decide to hibernate, try these simple skin care tips that are perfect for "winterproofing" your skin.

DRY SKIN: Use a moisturizing cream atleast 2-3 times a day. Wrinkles get visible in excessive dry skin. So, to avoid dryness moisturizer is a must. A wide variety of dry skin lotion and creams are available to smooth out our skin and provide a seal over your skin to keep water from escaping, adding moisture and keeping it moist and dewy. When you get time at home simply make a pack using an egg yolk,some cream of milk,little bit of lentil and some honey and apply it 3 days a week to moisturize your skin.

Central heating and air conditioning, even climate controlled environments can play a part in drying your skin. Central heating often compounds the problem and can actually cause humidity levels to drop inside the living space. Air conditioning removes water from indoor air and has a drying effect on skin.Limit your bath and shower time and use warm, rather than hot, water.Be selective when choosing anti-aging face products. Make sure to choose anti aging products designed for dry skin types such as a facial skin toner, or face gel scrubs that do not contain any drying agents that will cause dry skin to worsen.

OILY SKIN:Although your skin's oily, you still must moisturize it with a light moisturizer daily, or your skin will become dry underneath and overcompensate by producing more oil. Ensure that you moisturize after every face washing routine, as this will keep the oils balanced.use a good exfoliating gel that has minute granules enriched with vitamin E. By using it twice a week, you will find wonderful results.Avoid applying petroleum jelly on your face and lips. For chapped lips, use medicated or herbal lip-balms.

NORMAL SKIN: Use a gentle, water-soluble cleanser, a toner loaded with antioxidants and skin-repairing ingredients, an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) exfoliant to reduce wrinkles while building collagen, a daytime moisturizer with sunscreen, and a serum loaded with anti-aging ingredients. Optional: Add a moisturizer for use around the eyes or for use at night over slightly dry areas, if present. 

SENSITIVE SKIN: Cleansers should be used only twice a day. To cleanse without stripping the skin’s natural moisture, use a cream or lotion-based cleanser. For acne-prone skin, alternate your regular cleanser with a gentle anti-acne cleanser.Look for products rich in ingredients like vitamins and antioxidants and hydrating ingredients like glycerin and hyaluronic acid. If you need an anti-aging formula, choose ingredients like kinetic, coenzyme Q10, peptides and poly hydroxy acids, suggests Real Simple.Sunscreen should be used daily. Look for a formula that contains both UVA and UVB protection. This is especially important following a chemical procedure, because your skin becomes particularly susceptible to sun damage. Additionally, many treatments might cause hyperpigmentation, so cover up.When selecting your sun protection, look for these physical ingredients, which repel UV rays: titanium dioxide and zinc oxide.Avoiding extreme temperatures. While a hot bath or shower may help to warm you up when you’re feeling cold, extreme heat can be irritating to your skin. So turn the temperature down slightly.
