Drinking lots of water helps keep your skin from drying out and your lips from chapping.

Use moisturizer

Moisturizers have the main task and function of moisturizing and softening the skin. This is the top choice for dry skin care in winter to quickly soothe dry skin. You should choose moisturizers that are suitable for your skin and use them to apply to your skin every day before going to bed and after bathing.

Choose the right type of shower gel and facial cleanser

You should choose a facial cleanser with many massage beads. The reason is that this type of facial cleanser contains ingredients that can clean deep inside the pores, help the skin to be clear and eliminate the uncomfortable feeling caused by dry weather.

If your skin is oily, use an oil-free cleanser for a fresh, smooth look. If your skin is dry, choose a gentle cleanser for a brighter, smoother look in the winter.

Wash your face with warm water

In winter, washing your face with cold water can be harmful to your skin and especially your health. Not only that, cold water also causes pores to shrink, causing bacteria and dirt to stay deep inside to not be cleaned, leading to illness. Therefore, warm water will be the safest solution for you when washing your face. Warm water can not only wash away all the dirt on your face, but also train the blood vessels and facial nerves, making the brain alert, solving the pressure on the skin... However, you need to pay attention to the temperature of the water, avoid washing with water that is too hot, using water at a temperature of 35 degrees Celsius is the most reasonable and safest.
