Guide to winter skincare
Celebrity dermatologist Kiran Lohia shares a few tips to fight winter woes
NEW DELHI:
Fight winter woes by using beauty oil, cream cleansers and not relying on toner when the temperature drops.
Celebrity dermatologist Kiran Lohia shares a few tips:
• Know the number of times to wash face
Don’t wash your face more than twice a day. Using a face wash frequently will steal all your skin’s hydration and nutrition. If you are feeling dirty or just got back from the gym, just splash some water on your face.
• Choose the right face wash
Stay away from foaming face wash and use a cream or oil cleanser instead. These will gently get rid of oil, while also providing nutrition and moisture to your skin.
• Say no to toner
Toners are a big cause of skin drying up. In fact, they usually contain alcohol, which leads to dryness.
• Use a beauty oil
Instead of using a basic cream or lotion which only have 15 to 20 oil-based components, a pure beauty oil will deliver 100% hydration benefits. Look for grapeseed or pumpkin seed oil, which will moisturise while also giving important nutrients like vitamin E and Omega 3 Fatty Acids.
