if you suffer from dry skin, then you have to take extra precautions during cold weather.

The cold weather skin care and product advice tips with help with the protection and nourishment of your skin during the worst winter weather. You’ll be glad you gave your skin the extra attention it needed during the winter season once the warmer months arrive and you are ready to show some extra skin.
Obtain and maintain healthier, better conditioned skin by following this informative list of top 5 cold weather skin care advice tips:

1) Hot water strips your skin of natural oils required for proper moisture balance so avoid taking excessively hot showers and baths during the cold snaps. I am not suggesting that anyone takes a cold shower (unless you are a masochist), but a comfortable luke-warm temperature would be the best bet.

2) The types of ingredients to steer clear of are fragrance oli, alcohol and any un-natural ingredients of products for the skin.

3) Wash with warm water followed by a milky moisturizer such as Elemis or Aromatherapy Products while skin is still damp. It is essential to wash the skin first before applying any product, to ensure that nothing is trapped in the creamy layer.

4) When going out in the cold weather, ensure that you put on plenty of extra clothes. Freezing temperatures dry the skin out quicker that warmer temperatures. Each new layer that you use creates an extra piece of insulation, trapping a layer of air near to the skin. It you are bald, make sure that you cover your head, as your scalp can be damaged by the extreme cold conditions. Without hair, there is no insulating layer and the body’s natural heat is quickly dispersed.

5) Use a heavier moisturizer like Gatineau Nutriactive Nourishing Day Cream on your hands, feet, knees and elbows.
