Winter Skin Care

You might think that now the winter months have arrived and it’s cold that you don’t need to protect your skin. Well ANUU wants to give you some free top tips in keeping your skin looking and feeling great this winter as its more important than ever!

1, You might not think it but the wind is very damaging to our skin it can cause damage and you might not even know. We need to make sure we protect ourselves from the wind during winter do this by using a good skin cream and also wearing a hat scarf and gloves to shield your skin. If you want to know more about the cream, which is best for your skin type, give us a call we will be able to help.

2, The Sun can also be a massive factor to as people don’t use any protection as they don’t feel the suns warmth and yes it true the sun is not as strong in winter but you still need to protect yourself from the UV rays. Use a UV cream throughout the winter, contact us for more information.

3, The cold can be damaging to your skin on any part of your body which is regularly exposed, so protection is needed to help your skin looking good. Use a hat, scarf and gloves where possible. Your skin will also be affected when going into a warm place from the cold, so watch out!

5, When it comes to this time of year we tend to not drink as much water and have hot drinks instead trying to keep ourselves warm. But when you don’t drink your recommended amount of water your body can become dehydrated which is not good for your skin as it has no moisture to create new skin cells and get rid of the dead ones. Try to continue to drink the recommended 1.5 liters of water a day.

6, Alcohol is another big thing to remember over the winter months again around Christmas, we all like a bit of Christmas cheer, but after a night out drinking on the town your body will become dehydrated so remember to drink water and try and stick to the recommended units of alcohol. Men 3/ 4 units, Women 2 /3 units limit daily and have some alcohol free days in the week.

7, Our eating habits tend to change also over winter especially around Christmas, we all over indulge a little bit which is fine occasionally, but we need to try to eat healthy as the vitamins and minerals found in things like fruit and vegetables we might have eaten over the summer will keep our skin healthy. Try to think of ways to cook your food with good healthy food in it, but that will keep you warm over the winter months, for example a bean and vegetable casserole.
