What to do if your face is dry and flaky in winter

As people pay more and more attention to their skin, everyone hopes to have hydrated and glowing skin. Therefore, when we reach the cold winter, we will find that the skin on our face is very dry, accompanied by peeling, and severe cases may cause skin sensitivity. Therefore, care at this time is particularly important. So what should we do if our face is dry and flaky in winter? Next, please join me in today's learning time.

1. Warm up your muscles first when you wake up

After waking up in the morning, brushing your teeth and washing your face, follow up with daily care steps, followed by massage techniques. Intensify the massage around the eyes, which is most prone to dryness, to promote circulation. As for the area around the eyes, it is covered with acupuncture points and blood. You can use your fingertips or knuckles to perform a large-scale massage starting from the corners of the eyes, between the eyebrows, temples, and just below the eye sockets to promote circulation and warm up the skin. Massage for about five minutes every morning, which can not only enhance the absorption of eye cream, but also help improve the appearance of fine lines on the cheeks due to dryness.

2. Gentle cleansing in the morning

Because I had done a deep cleansing the night before, the dirt on my face when I woke up in the morning was just the oil I secreted while sleeping at night. Everyone knows that high-quality secretion is related to root temperature. It is relatively cold in winter, so not too much oil is secreted. At this time, you can use a mild and foam-free cleansing product. Cleansing products with too strong oil-control power will only destroy the outermost water film of the skin, causing the skin to become more dehydrated.

3. Use moisturizing essence

Don’t think that only women over 30 need to prepare essences and the like. In fact, no matter what age group you are, you can prepare moisturizing essence. Moisturizing essence used after toner can help the skin better absorb the nutrients of subsequent products, thereby achieving better skin care effects.

4. Massage with cream frequently

Most people adopt the "water inside and oil outside" moisturizing strategy, applying essence first and then applying cream. Today I will tell you a great moisturizing trick. In fact, lotion can also be used instead of massage cream. In addition to applying cream every night, massage is also very important, which can enable the skin to better absorb the essence of the cream.

The above paragraphs provide us with a good introduction to some ways to deal with dry and flaky skin on our face in winter. I believe that friends who read them carefully will have more knowledge and experience. But what I want to tell you is that in the cold winter, we must use skin care products with higher oil content to protect our skin from the cold wind. At the same time, we must drink more hot water in daily life to maintain moisture in the body.
