While some people like it warm and sunny, others prefer the crispness of winters and the beautiful colors of autumn. However, most of us would have observed that winters lead to dry and ashen skin. This is because of the dryness in the air, and also because our skin loses its ability to protect itself from pollutants. Hence, it is important to take care of our skin during colder months with a little extra effort. While we may do everything right in terms of our skin care routine, we may also be committing a lot of mistakes knowingly or unknowingly. In fact, even those who are meticulous about their skin care regimen may err while trying to care for their skin.

In addition, exfoliating treatments help you to remove excess sebum and other impurities that clog your skin pores. In addition, those who live in warmer climates tend to go out more often during winter months to enjoy cooler climes. Unfortunately, this just means you’re exposing your skin to more impurities, dust, and pollutants.

Certain home-based exfoliating treatments may help to keep your skin glowing dewy fresh. Cleansing your skin with RSB Exfoliating Facial Toner is an excellent way to bring back the glow to your face. You may also try in-salon exfoliation treatments such as microdermabrasion, Hydra Medi-facials, and chemical peels for quicker and long-lasting results.

Although winters are famous for ashen skin and chapped lips, a number of people do not moisturize their skin adequately. Using the wrong moisturizer when the climate is dry and cold can be just as ineffective as not moisturizing at all.

Hyaluronic acid is particularly suited to rehydrate your skin when it is drying out. RSB Vitamin C serum is well suited for winter-related skin concerns. It is easy to apply and spreads evenly without leaving a trace. Hydra Medi-facials can help you to overcome with dry skin.

A number of scientific studies show that people consume less water during colder months. This can have disastrous effects on our skin as we become dehydrated without quite realizing it. Make sure to consume at least eight glasses of water in a day no matter how cold it is. If you find it unpleasant to drink water at room temperature, you may sip adequately warm water throughout the day. Not only will your skin remain hydrated, but you will also have a general sense of warmth and comfort.

It is also a good idea to take skin care supplements during winter to get essential minerals and vitamins. RSB Skin Brightening tablets replenish your body with important nutrients such as vitamin C and L-glutathione which help protect against sun damage. These tablets contain micronutrients that are responsible to keep your skin hydrated.

People often feel lazy when it is cold outside and refrain from engaging in physical activities. As we snuggle comfortably in our blankets, we also tend to ignore the importance of exercise for our skin. Regular exercise improve circulation and ensures that our skin receives all the nutrients it needs to remain healthy and glowing. Physical activity promotes cell regeneration and delays the signs of premature aging. 

Make sure to work out right at home if you do not feel like visiting the gym. On spot running, yoga, or a quick walk in the park can all be good choices for working up a sweat. Weight training has additional benefits such as improved tissue health that results in collagen production.

Finally, make sure to exercise regularly so that your skin continues to retain the ability to regenerate itself. Exercising helps transport essential nutrients to your skin cells by improving blood circulation.
