Lock in the moisture:

As much as we want to curl up with the heater warmth,it is necessary that we do not sap our skin of the moisture needed to stay pumped fresh. The heating has been noted to dry up the moisture in the rooms leaving your skin dry and longing for moisture.

Tips:

1. Remember to keep your room well ventilated, let in some fresh air to exchange for the moisture sapped one indoors.

2. Avoid very hot baths and showers. Afterwards, pat dry your skin, and put on moisturisers. Topping up with heavier moisturisers will go a long way.

3. Add some emollient oil to your bath water and avoid staying for so long in the water.

4. Avoid close contact with the heater (radiators).

5. As much as possible avoid soaps  as the tend to wash off the natural oil on the skin leaving your skin unprotected.

6. Eating balanced diet, with enough fruits and vegetables at this time can not be a luxury rather a very important part of your routine. This will help keep your immunity optimised.

7. Take food supplements regularly. Vitamins and mineral are lost each month from menstrual cycle and women should learn to top up these essential minerals with food supplements.

8. Avoid using fabric conditioners and watch that the stressor is not your detergent. If so experts have said that non biological detergents are safer.

9. Avoid excessive exposure to extreme temperatures.

10. Exercise, a stroll out doors will expose your skin to some coolness that leaves you freshened.
