Top tips for Skin and Hair care during winter

The dip in temperature during winter, brisk winds, and dry, cold air have the potential to cause significant harm to both hair and skin. Check out these top skin and hair care tips.

Skin care tips: Prioritise Hydration

Increase your water consumption to prevent dry and irritated skin. Target a daily intake of at least half your body weight in ounces in various fluids.

Reduce your shower duration

Extended exposure to hot water can compromise your skin's moisture barrier, so opt for brief showers of no more than five minutes.

Select an appropriate moisturiser

Opt for a moisturiser that shields your skin pores while avoiding oil buildup. Choose a non-greasy, lightweight, and hydrating moisturiser.

Hair care tips: Reduce frequency of shampooing

Washing your hair too often can remove its natural oils. If you usually shampoo daily, consider switching it to every other day.

Dry your hair before heading outside

Ensure your hair is completely dry before heading outdoors, as the cold air can cause the hair shaft to expand, resulting in breakage.

Use a hair mask weekly

Incorporating a hair mask into your routine once a week offers a speedy and efficient method to impart softness, hydration, and support growth to your hair.
