San Diego, United States, August 13,2019- As weather changes from summer to fall, changes in humidity, temperature, and sun can have a drastic effect on your skin. For instance, low humidity, heated air, and wind can cause your skin to become dry. This is why problems like eczema and rosacea flare in the winter.
Here are some simple yet highly effective tips to protect your skin as the weather changes.
• Avoid long soaks in the tub, don’t use water, that is too hot, in the shower and use a moisturizing soap.
• Keep your skin moisturized, especially if your skin is dry or itchy. Be extra gentle while applying any cream around your eyes to avoid pulling too hard since the skin around the eyes is delicate.
• To wash your face, use a gentle, non-abrasive cleanser that does not contain alcohol. Wet your face with lukewarm water and use your fingertips to apply and rinse the cleanser. Avoid using a washcloth, sponge, or anything other than your fingertips.
• Do not scrub your skin to prevent irritation and abrasion of your skin.
• Rinse with face and body with lukewarm water and pat dry with a soft towel.
• Wash your face at least twice every day – once in the morning and once at night. Also wash your face after sweating heavily, for instance after working out at the gym. Perspiration or sweating, especially when you have been wearing a hat or helmet, can irritate the skin. So, it is essential that you wash your skin as soon as possible after sweating.
• As fall approaches and slowly gives way to winter, stay cautious about the sun. Most people wear sunscreen during summer but drop their guard as fall begins. But harmful UV rays can make their way to you even if it appears cloudy. During winter, light can reflect from the snow or ice, so make sure that you cover all of your exposed skin surfaces with sun protection before leaving home. Sunscreen not only protects you from UV rays, it also prevents skin damage and premature aging.
• Remain hydrated. Water is essential for skin. Drink plenty of fluids to keep your skin hydrates internally. It will help you avoid wrinkles too.
• If you still have skin issues, you must see a doctor to have them treated.
