5 Ways To Protect Your Skin From Home Heating
Home Heating Skin Problems – ’s Top Tips to Counter its Dehydrating Effects
It’s the time of year when cooler weather and heated homes play havoc with all skin types. If yours is naturally dry, this often means increased sensitivity, itchiness and discomfort. You can help counter its dehydrating effects with the following tips:
Lower Your Heat Setting: If you suffer with eczema or other inflammatory skin conditions set the thermostat to ‘low’ overnight, before you go to bed will ease skin dryness – as well as saving on energy and money.
Moisturize Your Skin: The combination of colder air, indoor heating and subsequent changes to your skin means that extra moisture is essential. Choose an all over body moisturizer packed with essential fatty acids to revive weary skin..
Use a Humidifier: Combat the drying effects of indoor heating with a humidifier, allowing it to evaporate into the air. The more humidity there is in the air the less moisture will be drawn from the surface of your skin. Alternatively you can try a standard humidifier placed in the warmest areas of your home.
Drink Water: When the nights are long and the weather is cold we naturally take comfort in warm drinks which often means our caffeine consumption is higher and our water intake takes a dive. Throw in the drying effects of central heating and your complexion risks becoming dull and sallow. Drinking lots of water is a must throughout the year to give you that inner glow, which means autumn and winter too! Try warm water with a slice of lemon or a caffeine free herbal tea, such as chamomile. If you can, drink a large glass before going to bed. Your parched skin will thank you for it.
Supplement for Support: Along with plenty of water Vitamins and Minerals: Vitamin D3, Fish Oils, Vitamin E are all good to help keep your immune system strong and body balanced for overall health support.
