Fall is here and winter will be here before you know it. With colder temperatures coming soon, a good skincare regimen can help prevent itchy, dry, flaky, cracked and irritated skin. Heres Dr. Chicky Dadlani with some tips on how to #SaveYourSkin this winter: - Limit bath/shower time to 5-10 minutes using warm rather than hot water - Use fragrance free cleansers - Add bath oil if soaking in tub - Gently dry skin after bath/shower - Within a few minutes of bath/shower, immediately moisturize skin generously - Ointment and creams are more effective at sealing existing moisture in the skin - Look for creams or ointments that are fragrance, dye and preservative free - Ingredients that help to soothe dry skin include lactic acid, urea, hyaluronic acid, lanolin, petrolatum, and glycerin - Repetitive hand washing can strip the skin of natural oils and lipids. Take special care to moisturize hands after each wash - For the face, select moisturizers that are non-comedogenic to keep pores from clogging With proper care, skin can remain soft, hydrated, smooth and nourished this winter.
