It’s December and that can only mean one thing! Your skin becomes dry and flaky. Your lips get chapped thanks to the change in weather. Plus your hands become rough in the dry air.
But if you follow these 5 beauty commandments, this may soon be a problem of the past!
1) Moisturise Moisturise!
That’s commandment number 1 and completely non negotiable. Since the moisture gets sapped out from your skin due to the low temperatures you need to supplement it with a heavy duty moisturiser. The best time to do it? Post a shower/bath when your pores are open – the skin absorbs it much better.
2) Wear SPF
Sunscreen isn’t just limited to summers. Harmful UV rays are equally bad during the winters too. So it’s best not to omit that SPF bottle. Slather it on before you step out of the house.
3) Don’t Take Too Hot Showers
I’ll be the first to admit that hot showers really hit the spot especially in cooler months. But that is in fact the worst mistake you could possibly make. Hot showers dry your skin considerably – instead try limiting your shower time and set your temperature to lukewarm.
4) Use Blush Liberally
Take it from me, blush instantly makes you feel better. If you want to cheat a fresh-from-the-snow-look just dab on some blush and you’re good to go.
5) Don’t Neglect Your Lips
Your lips are prone to chapping hence it’s best to exfoliate them regularly and stash lip balm in your bag. Keeps those lips moisturized so they can look their puckered best all season long!
