If you have problems with dry skin then you need to give extra care during the cold weather months. The cold weather skin care and skin care products advice tips you are about to read will help you to protect, provide for and nourish your skin during the coldest time of year. i am sure you will be happy that you gave the extra care to your skin during the winter, especially when it gets warmer and you show a little more of your skin.

Obtain and maintain healthier, better conditioned skin by following this informative list of top 5 cold weather skincare advice tips:

1) Hot water strips your skin of natural oils required for proper moisture balance so avoid taking excessively hot showers and baths during the cold snaps. i am not advocating a freezing cold shower (unless you are slightly mad) but a warm welcoming temperature that would be fine.

2) The types of ingredients to steer clear of are fragrance oli, alcohol and any un-natural ingredients of products for the skin.

3) Wash with warm water followed by a milky moisturizer such as Elemis while skin is still damp. It is essential to wash the skin first before applying any product, to ensure that nothing is trapped in the creamy layer.

4) Put plenty of extra layers of clothing on when venturing outside in the cold weather. Freezing temperatures dry the skin out quicker that warmer temperatures. Each layer creates that extra insulation, by trapping a layer of air close to the body. For bald men, ensure that you cover your head, as the scalp can suffer cold weather damage. For a bald person, there is no natural insulating layer and body heat can be quickly lost.

5) It is good practice to use a moisturiser that is quite heavy such as Gatineau Nutriactive Nourishing Day Cream and put it liberally on the feet, hands and elbows.
