A drier, redder, itchier and flakier look could put you in a bad mood during winter, but it doesn’t have to be this way.<\/p>\n

While low humidity outside and central heating inside can wreak havoc on the face, there are ways to prevent and correct distressed skin.<\/p>\n

Cleansing and exfoliation<\/h3>\n

Dermatologist Dr Melegh recommends reducing any sort of exfoliation down to once or twice weekly.<\/p>\n

“Instead, switch to a daily gentle and water-free cream cleanser to clean skin and avoid washing the face too much with water,” Dr Melegh advised.<\/p>\n

She explained why water can be a no-go: “Water can evaporate more moisture from the surface of the skin when it dries, making it drier and more reactive.”<\/p>\n

What about showering?<\/h3>\n

Dr Melegh advised taking lukewarm and short showers to not aggravate the skin, and to moisturise straight afterwards.<\/p>\n

UV protection<\/h3>\n

While it’s cold outside and the sun could be hiding behind the clouds, Dr Melegh is a big advocate of sun protection even in winter.<\/p>\n

“UV protection is crucial for preserving and protecting mature skin in winter,” said Dr Melegh.<\/p>\n

“Cold windburn and UV reflection from clouds can inflame skin sensitivity and increase TEWL (transepidermal water loss) and red skin.”<\/p>\n
