The sun, cold and dry air can negatively affect the texture of the skin and make it rough and dry. It is enough to make a few changes to your daily routine and lifestyle, and your skin will shine with its former beauty. And in this article we will tell you how to do it.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Take care of your skin daily

1. 1 Start each day with dry exfoliation. This is an ancient exfoliation technique designed to remove dead skin cells and stimulate blood circulation. Daily dry exfoliation will instantly leave your skin looking fresher, and when you incorporate this into your daily routine, your skin will glow.
   • Choose a natural fiber brush over plastic bristles. Natural bristles do not traumatize the skin as much.
   • Wipe the skin with short, firm strokes from the extremities towards the center. Brush your legs, torso, and arms. Use a small, short-handled facial brush.
   • Always start with dry skin and dry brushing. If your skin is damp, the effect will be less noticeable.
2. 2 Take a cool shower. Wash in cool, not hot, water. Hot water injures the skin, causes dryness and tightens it. Start at room temperature and gradually move to colder water to tighten and tone your skin.
   • In general, it is advisable to shower for no more than 10 minutes a day, otherwise the skin may become dry.
   • When washing your face, use cool water instead of hot water.
   • Save hot tubs for special occasions. They are good for the soul, but not good for the skin.
3. 3 Exfoliate your skin in the shower. Use a loofah, loofah, or exfoliating gloves to get rid of dead skin cells while showering. You can also use a body scrub. Rub your skin gently, without too much effort. If necessary, use a separate face and body washcloth.
   • Wash your loofah (loofah or gloves) regularly to keep bacteria free. The bacteria can cause breakouts and rough skin.
4. 4 Don't use too much soap. Shower gels and scrubs, like many bar soaps, contain cleansers that dry out the skin and also leave behind a residue that makes the skin look dull. Use a natural oil-based soap, or skip the soap and wash with water only.
   • Wash your feet, genitals and armpits with soap - these are the ones that sweat the most. Only water is sufficient for elbows, legs and forearms.
5. 5 Moisturize your skin. After you towel dry after showering, apply lotion or other moisturizer to retain moisture and protect your skin from dry air all day.Try these moisturizers to keep your skin glowing and healthy:
   • Coconut oil. This sweet-smelling substance dissolves on the skin and gives it a beautiful glow.
   • Shea Butter. This moisturizer is especially suitable for sensitive skin. You can also apply it to your lips.
   • Lanolin. Sheep produce lanolin to keep their coat soft and dry, and it also provides excellent protection from the cold winter air.
   • Olive oil. If your skin needs deep hydration, apply olive oil to your body and leave to absorb for 10 minutes. Rinse off with water at room temperature and pat dry.
   • Lactic acid lotions. Your dry, flaky skin will feel firm and soft.
   • Aloe Vera Gel is great for sensitive and sunburned skin.
6. 6 Determine your skin type. Some have dry, flaky skin, others have oily skin, and many have combination skin. Determine which parts of the body you need to pay special attention to, and incorporate the necessary procedures into your daily routine.
   • Be careful about acne on your face and body. Do not scrub them with a dry brush, and do not use soap or chemicals that can aggravate the situation.
   • Eczema, rosacea, and other dry skin problems need to be treated carefully. Use products that will not aggravate your skin condition, and see your doctor for a medication to correct your problem.

Method 2 of 3: Lead a Healthy Life

1. 1 Start exercising. Exercise will tone your skin and improve circulation. They also improve your overall health, and this will be noticeable on your skin. Introduce the following types of exercise into your schedule three or more times a week:
   • Cardio exercise such as walking, running, cycling, or swimming. From these exercises, your blood will circulate and your skin will acquire a healthy complexion.
   • Strength training with dumbbells. Strengthening the muscles will improve your skin tone, making your skin look smoother.
   • Yoga and stretching exercises. These exercises keep your muscles toned and also improve the condition of your skin.
2. 2 Eat a balanced diet. If your body is not getting all the nutrients it needs, it takes a toll on your skin. Return your skin to its natural glow with fruits, vegetables, lean protein, and whole grains. Include foods that are especially good for your skin, such as:
   • Avocados and nuts. They contain healthy oils that your skin needs to maintain its elasticity.
   • Nutrient-rich plants. Concentrate on foods with vitamins A, E, and C, such as sweet potatoes, carrots, kale, spinach, broccoli, mangoes, and blueberries.
3. 3 Drink plenty of water. Water nourishes your skin cells for fresher and more radiant skin. When you're dehydrated, your skin starts to dry out. Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day to keep your skin healthy. If you don't like drinking water glass by glass, here's how you can get moisture:
   • Eat watery fruits and vegetables such as cucumbers, lettuce, apples, and berries.
   • Drink herbal teas and other decaf teas.
   • Try drinking a glass of lemon juice and soda to cool off.
4. 4 Avoid substances that harm your skin. No matter how fanatical you are with your skin care, you will not get ahead if you use substances that are harmful to your skin. These include:
   • Tobacco. Tobacco stains and premature wrinkles appear on the skin. When it comes to skin damage, tobacco is your worst enemy.
   • Alcohol. Excess alcohol stretches the skin, especially around and under the eyes, because it retains water in the body. In addition, alcohol flushes out vitamin A from the body, causing blood vessels to burst. Limit alcohol consumption to one to two drinks several times a week.
   • Caffeine. If you consume a lot of caffeine, your body becomes dehydrated, and this affects the condition of your skin.Limit yourself to one cup of coffee a day with a large glass of water.

Method 3 of 3: Develop habits that will prevent skin tarnishing

1. 1 Use sunscreen every day. Sunlight can temporarily make your skin glow as it gives it a tan, but it is also very harmful. Tanning and burning your skin all summer can lead to wrinkles, blemishes, and skin cancer.
   • Wear sunscreen before leaving your home, even in winter.
   • Apply sunscreen to your neck, shoulders, chest, arms, and areas that will be exposed to the sun. If you are wearing shorts or walking to the beach, apply it to your feet too.
2. 2 Don't go to bed with makeup. Makeup left on overnight is harmful to the skin because the chemicals in cosmetics affect it all night. By morning, your skin will completely absorb the makeup, which is not good. Use a makeup remover and rinse off any residue with room temperature water before going to bed.
   • Do not use a scrub to remove makeup as this can irritate and damage your skin. Use a good makeup remover and then pat dry your face with a towel.
   • Try removing makeup this way: Run a cotton swab dipped in petroleum jelly over your eyelashes and around the eyes. You will be surprised, but there will be no trace of makeup.
3. 3 Protect your skin from harmful effects. Skin hardens when exposed to chemicals, extreme temperatures and abrasive materials. Your skin will be soft and tender if you follow these tips:
   • Wear gloves in the winter to prevent the skin of your hands from cracking. Protect all other parts of your body with warm clothing.
   • Always use gloves when cleaning with strong chemicals.
   • Protect yourself from rough skin by using knee pads, thick work clothing, and safety equipment if you are working in challenging conditions.

Tips

• Wash your face in the morning and evening for about 2 minutes with cold water.
• Apply lotion every day.
• For best results, apply the lotion immediately after showering. Try to apply it twice a day - in the morning and before bed.
• Remove makeup before bed.
• Take a cool shower.
• Do not apply coconut oil to your skin unless you want it to take on an oily sheen. Use it on your face only.
• Avoid touching your face if you want to avoid oily sheen.
