Heavy rainfall and bitter cold spells can play havoc with our beauty routines so we have devised a few tips to keep you looking at your best this season.
Winter is not your friend if you suffer from sensitive skin, ailments such as eczema tend to flare up during the colder months.
There are many reasons for this including central heating, temperamental weather and the type of clothing we wear. Although warm knits are important for keeping warm, skin conditions such as eczema don’t respond every well to wool.
Warm cosy fabrics can cause itching and discomfort, quickly worsening your condition.
There are steps you can take to alter your beauty routine for winter, helping to treat eczema and similar skin conditions. Even dry skin can become a hindrance during winter and these simple tips will ensure you are looking after yourself properly.
Take a vitamin supplement- Vitamins A, D & E are very important for healthy and glowing skin. If you feel you aren’t getting the correct amount of these vitamins from your daily diet, then taking a supplement is a wise idea.
Always have breakfast – breakfast is the most important meal of the day and skipping it affects your general health. Special K Multigrain porridge is a quick, easy and healthy way to ensure the first meal of the day is beneficial.
Get enough sleep – we’re all familiar with the age old term beauty sleep and a decent night’s sleep is essential for looking your best. If you’re neglecting your shut eye then you’re likely to experience dull skin, itchy eyes and dark circles. Simply getting to bed half an hour earlier in order to relax could make all the difference.
Choose your products carefully - while it’s tempting to try out every new cream and product on the market, it’s wise to practise caution if you’re an eczema sufferer. Avoid perfumed products as they are likely to irritate the skin and look for ranges that cater for sensitive skin. Coconut oil and aloe vera have been proven to benefit eczema ridden skin.
Avoid stress- we know this is far easier said than done but stress really does have a terrible impact on how you feel and look. It has a negative impact on eczema and it doesn’t do much for your beauty routine either. Take time every day to do something you enjoy, even just listening to music or reading a few pages of a book, and you should start to see the benefits soon.
