That winter cold you feel creeping in means it may be time to switch up your African American skin care product for one with added moisturizing agents. The cold can make skin extremely dry, and can cause flaking and other problems associated with a cold weather complexion. There are ways to beat the freeze, however, and Health Canal recently reported on some of these.
First, the news source reports that it's important to select the right soap when washing your face in the winter months.
"Use a gentle, fragrance-free, moisturizing formula, avoiding strong, antibacterial, deodorant soaps, which generally contain irritating ingredients and fragrances. Use a minimal amount of soap to avoid dryness," said Health Canal.
DailyMakeover.com makes a good point when they remind readers to use lukewarm water when showering or washing your face in the winter, since hot water can rob the skin of even more moisture.
Finally, Health Canal recommended protecting the hands, which can take a particularly rough beating in the winter. Wear gloves, and moisturize often to avoid having cracked, red-looking knuckles.
