The holiday season is fast approaching once again.
With this season come a few tell-tale skin problems such as dry and flaky skin.
Most of us attend different parties during the holidays.
You would not want your dry skin to get in the way of looking good for those parties.
Keeping your skin moist and dewy shouldn't be a tough task.
Let me tell you some of my tried and tested skin moisturizing techniques: 1.
Before taking a warm bath in the morning, try scrubbing your skin first with a soft-bristled paddle brush.
You can purchase wooden paddle brushes from a local department store.
Gently scrub the brush on your skin using a circular motion.
This method can actually get rid of dead skin cells.
It also helps encourage the release of toxins so your dermis can look more vibrant.
Moreover, it helps improve blood flow.
2.
Moisturize your skin.
Look for a moisturizing product incorporated with some of the most effective emollient ingredients.
I suggest buying a product that contains the ingredients Phytessence Wakame and Manuka Honey.
Phytessence Wakame is a type of Japanese sea kelp that solves the main cause of dermis dryness.
It helps prevent the sudden loss of hyaluronic acid.
This acid is actually responsible for the lubrication of collagen proteins.
It keeps collagen fibers lubricated.
Manuka honey, on the other hand, has better moisturizing benefits.
It has humectant properties that can easily adhere to the moisture-producing functions of the skin.
It can keep your skin layers moist and dewy for a longer period of time.
Bring a small bottle of your moisturizer with you.
Re-apply when needed.
If the cold wind is making your skin feel tight and itchy, you can soothe it with the help of the moisturizing cream.
3.
Most of us do not feel the need to drink water when the weather is cold.
According to studies, you don't really need to comply with the rule of drinking 8 glasses of water daily.
You can get your recommended water intake from other sources such as fruits.
So instead of forcing yourself to drink 8 glasses of water, try eating more fruits and vegetables.
Moreover, they contain vitamins and minerals that can improve the functions of your integumentary system.
4.
Change your cotton bed sheets to silk bed sheets.
Silk can glide easily on your dermis so it does not chafe the surface layers of the skin.
You will wake up with softer and smoother dermis texture.
You don't have to suffer the embarrassment of having dry and flaky skin this holiday season.
With the help of the above-mentioned tips, your skin will remain soft and dewy.
