Beauty Tips for Itchy Skin in Winter

 


The winter comes with a lot of colds, and it causes harm to our skin sometimes. The temperature in the weather drops, and the same happens to the moisture in our bodies. 


The winter season plays a hard toll on people with dry skin. It is safe to remember that dry skin is different from dehydrated skin. Itchy skin during the winter is sometimes a result of winter rash. 


Winter rash can happen to anyone, and even if you have had healthy and glowing skin all year long, the winter can irritate your skin. The chances of the rash lasting all year are possible. Understanding the causes of itchy skin will help with its treatment.


 


Causes of itchy skin in winter


Weather: During the winter season, the air is dry, which happens to the skin. The dry air dries out the moisture in our skin, which is more evident in the upper layer of the skin. When the skin is too dry, it gets itchy, which hurts the body over time.


Water: The only other time water is good during the winter is for dehydration. Wearing wet clothes will have your body itchy. The itchiness comes from the dry and cracked skin coming in contact with water. It is best to wear dry clothes to avoid itchy skin during the winter.


Chemical-based products: Naturally, we all know how chemical-based products are harsh on the skin. We stay consistent with our skincare routine during the winter, but the question is, what products do we use for our skin? When the weather dries out our skin and we apply chemical-based skincare products, it will cause irritation and extra damage to the skin. Also, for athletes who come in contact with water that contains chemicals, the chances of having itchy skin during the winter are very high.



Age: For older people, their skin dries out with age, and the dryness of the skin is also sometimes associated with hormonal conditions. When women reach menopause, the chances of their skin being itchy during the winter are very high.


The leading cause of skin itchiness during the winter is dry skin.




Tips to Prevent and Stop Itchy Skin During the Winter


Avoid hot showers


During the winter, it is very tempting to take a hot shower to keep your body warm. Hot showers dry out the skin and lead to skin conditions like eczema. Avoid taking long showers, especially when the water is hot, because the high water temperature causes dryness of the skin. Hot showers will aid in cracking your skin and will have you itchy and uncomfortable all summer long. The best type of water to use is lukewarm or cold water during the winter.


 


Bath with moisturizing soap

The best type of soap to use during the winter to avoid itchy skin is the mild moisturizing soap. It is highly recommended and does not wash off the natural oils of the body. Using harsh detergent soaps will wash off the natural oil on your skin and leave it cracked and dry, which will cause itchiness. Our triple butter bar soap moisturizes the body and gets rid of impurities. It softens the skin, and the presence of the Kaolin clay removes grime and dirt while protecting your skin the rest of the winter season.


 


Moisturize


Using a skin care moisturizing soap is not enough reason not to use a moisturizer. Moisturizers help your skin stay hydrated and also protect it from water loss. A moisturizer helps create a barrier between your skin and the environment, and it helps to retain the natural oil of the skin and reduces irritations caused by cracks on the skin. Body butter is perfect for the winter season. Also, use a moisturizer immediately after taking a shower as it makes the locking of moisture easier.


 


Exfoliate regularly

 

The best exfoliant to use during the winter is oatmeal powder. It is essential to exfoliate the face and body, and Moisturising on dead skill cells will reduce the impact of the moisturizer. When the skin is dry, it means it’s time to exfoliate and promote healthier skin.



Hydrate


For our body to function correctly, we need water. When the inside of the body is hydrated, it is easier for the skin to be healthier on the outside. The skin cell of the body needs water to rejuvenate. Staying hydrated reduces wrinkling during the winter. You can add lemon or cucumber to give your water more flavor.


It is best to use a humidifier to balance the temperature in your house as it is prone to drop during winter nights. Also, take care of your lips and be gentle with your skin even as you notice these changes during the winter.

Vice President President Yemi Osinbajo says that it is madness for people in positions like President Buhari and himself to come into office and look for money to loot. A statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Laolu Akande , quotes Osinbajo as saying this while receiving a delegation of Christian Ministers Welfare Initiative also known as the Pastors ’ Forum , Taraba State , at the Presidential Villa , Abuja yesterday. “ This morning, I had a meeting with the President and he repeated to me twice, he said ‘ at my age , there is only one thing I am looking for , I want to see a great Nigeria . ’ He has no other objective and I feel very inspired by that . It is madness for anybody in our position to be looking for money. According to him , God put people in a position of authority for them to be able to do something for their people.

THE WILDFLOWER MOVIE REVIEW.

  Think of The Wait and how it made you feel. How it brought things you have ever seen, heard of or experienced right to you, that is exactly how you would feel with this movie.  This is a movie that is a must watch if you are a mother, an elder sister, if you are connected to a female one way or the other, this movie is for you. Trust Aunty Biodun Stephen to always give you real life and realistic themes and plots. Hence the plot of this movie is so close to home that I could remember some scenarios. But the movie was dragged at so many points. If you are looking for a movie that would kick you in the punch at once, this is not that movie. This is the movie that you have take your time to go through the prolonged actions and scenes, which was caused by some actors, who unfortunately were key players. Anyway, overall, I'd give it an 8/10. Plot is cool. Directing is cool. Delivery wasn't perfect for a lot to cast, even the top ones. Everyone was just at their relaxed mood, whic...

Sista Movie Review

  The opening scene did me in. I read somewhere that the first few 5 minutes of a movie determines if it is worth it.  Trust me, Sista movie hooked me in less than 5 minutes. I loved the straight to the point opening. No show of the Third Mainland Bridge. No lazy show of Lagos traffic. Nothing. Also, the past/present sequence made crazy sense.  Seeing Kehinde Bankole in that role is refreshing, it's not what she is used to, but she did well. Chimezie was quite not in character, or maybe he didn't bond with Ade Herself. I don't know. He is better than what I saw him act here. As usual Aunty Ronke Oshodi Oke gave it her all. This Tope Owokoniran babe tried with her Hausa accent. I love it!!! I think this is the best of her I have seen so far. I'd say this is a movie Aunty Biodun Stephen put her everything to make. This is a beautiful work of art. I love every piece of it. The story line is dope. Directing is flawless. The fun part was that even though It was predictable f...
