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.

The Clumsy Wife

When you were asked about your swollen right eye, you said you sleepwalked and hit your face against the wall. We all said sorry and asked you to get well soon. A few days after, it was your chin that was shifted to the side. In response, you blamed it again in your clumsiness and that you feel off the bed. You are a grown woman in her late 30's. This time, we had questions that we couldn't dare to ask you. Weeks later, you were limping and you assured us that it was your clumsiness that made you fall down the stairs. At this point, we faced our business and wished you all the best. 2 months later, you're lying in a golden casket, 6 feet under the ground.  The autopsy read that you died from a deep gash on your forehead, probably a hit from the bloody plank of wood that was found beside your corpse. At this point, you want to talk. You wanted to say it all. But it's too late. Your husband claimed you hit your head on the plank, and we all believed him because you told u

She Must Be Obeyed Movie Review

  I don't understand Funke Akindele's obsession with the music industry Sha. She is always trying to project the industry one way or the other - we have Industreet already. On this new one Sha, I don't know how to feel about it.  This storyline is great. The life of a Celebrity musician behind the camera and in front of the camera. But the directing get as e be. The movie just dey anyhow. But the acting from some cast made up for the 'anyhowness'. Bishop (Okon) was amazing. Lateef was great. Gayness doesn't fit Akah. He shouldn't try it again. Vee tried small. I don't understand what Ali Nuhu was acting. Lizzy Jay sef dey vex person. The entire Rachael Okonkwo family weren't it at all. Mama Gee no try at all. Don't give her a drunk role again. Nancy Isime was Nancy Isime, Just there. Shaffy Bello was great as always. In all, I will give it a 4/10.

Big Love Movie Review

  While this movie tried not to be your regular Nollywood Romantic movie, I still got annoyed at some small small mistakes that I saw. Inkblot is too big for some mistakes that were present in this movie. Overall, Big Love is nice. It's a movie that would take you through a rollercoaster of emotions. The beginning was quite not it.  Most of the dialogues got me rolling my eyes, like warahell. Casting was great. Storyline was amazing Directing wasn't coordinated. There were scenes that looked rushed and scattered. PS - VJ Adams should just leave Bimbo for Timini. Their chemistry is mind-blowing. Timini had grown as an actor. And it's great to see. Aunty Shaffy is great, as always. Overall, I'd give it an 8/10.
