Skin Care in Winters
Icy winter winds
work havoc with your skin and chapping of skin becomes a common problem.
But, the most vulnerable to cold is dry skin which cracks easily if
uncared for.
Measures to protect the
skin in Winter
- Do not use soap. If
your skin is oily, then wash your face only once a day with soap.
- Cleansing cream must
be used on the face in case of dry skin
- For oily skins use
skin tonic
- Do not wash your face
with very hot water
- Use of moisturiser
reduces dryness of skin
- Do not forget to
massage your face with cold cream or skin tonic before going to bed
- Use as little makeup
as possible if you have pimples
- Dry, cold winds of
winter often chap the skin. To guard against it, make a paste by
adding Refined wheat flour (Maida) to milk and rub it well on the
face. Dirt and dust will come out with the maida paste leaving the
skin soft
- If you have a dry and
rough skin, take the seeds of water melon, pumpkin, cucumber and
musk melon (Khurbooza) in equal quantity, grind them in milk. Make a
paste adding fresh milk cream (Malai). Apply it on your face. Leave
it for one hour and them wash it off.
- Take mustard seeds.
Clean them and grind. Make a paste either in milk or water. Daily
use of this paste is good to give glow to the skin
- Mix water and vinegar
in equal quantity. Apply it on your face with a cotton swab. If the
skin is dry, use cold cream for a light massage
- Add a spoonful of
olive oil to a bucket of water for your bath. This also gives a glow
to the skin. If the skin is very dry, massage with warm olive oil
fifteen minutes prior to bath
- For dry skin, a very
useful solution can be made thus: Take a spoonful of almond oil, ten
spoonfuls of unboiled milk and a pinch of sugar. Mix and beat the
mixture well. Apply it on face with a swab of cotton. Let it remain
for fifteen minutes. Wash it off with tepid water.
