Chennai: Our skin needs extra attention to help manage common winter skin care problems like chapped lips, flaky and dry skin.
According to Dr Sushrutha C K, Ayurveda Expert, Research and Development, The Himalaya Drug Company, “With a drop in the humidity and temperature, our skin tends to get dry, and if it is not moisturised, then it can lead to flaky skin. Following a good skin care routine, especially a night-long moisturisation routine and using products infused with natural ingredients like Cocoa Butter and Wheat Germ Oil can be beneficial in achieving nourished and hydrated skin during the winters”.
Additionally, for cracked lips, one can look for a lip balm with the goodness of herbs like Sweet Indrajao, and Carrot Seed Oil, as these ingredients help protect and nourish chapped lips.
Some tips for good skin care include moisturising at bedtime, protecting lips with a good lip balm, staying hydrated and consuming seasonal fruits and vegetables.
Additionally, consuming food rich in Omega 3, Vitamin A, C, and E can be useful in having moisturised and healthy skin, she said.
