With the cold weather season rapidly approaching, caring for dry skin may become more challenging. Here are some tips on how to protect your skin and keep it healthy throughout the colder months of the year.

【1】

Avoid harsh(刺激性的) cleansers containing sulfates or alcohol, and choose a gentle cleanser. Harsh cleansers may disrupt the PH balance of your skin and cause dryness.

Switch to a face oil

【2】 In order to avoid dryness, rub about 3 to 5 drops of oil the palm of your hands and then gently pat it into the skin. Face oils offer the benefit of conditioning the skin and protecting it from the cold air.

Exfoliate(去死皮)

Exfoliating is very important because it helps to get rid of dead skin cells and encourages skin cell renewal. 【3】 However, especially when the skin is feeling extra dry, it is important to use a gentle product and not to overdo it.

【4】

If you don’t feel thirsty and struggle with taking in enough liquids, try to drink tea, sweetened with a little raw honey. Dehydrated skin cells have a slower turnover rate, which results in dull skin and more visible fine lines.

【5】 The most advantage is that you will spend the cold season with comfort and confidence.

A. Drink plenty of water

B. Eat homemade soups

C. Use mild facial cleansers

D. Follow the above tips, you may own nice skin and look better.

E. Here are three of the most common example of skin discomfort.

F. After cleansing your face, your skin still takes the risk of dryness.

G. Moreover, dead skin cells won’t allow your face oil to enter the skin deeply.

If you’re serious about creating the habit of reading, what’s important is finding a time you can read every day-often that’s early morning or late at night, or both.

Make sure it has good lighting, the temperature is nice and you’re in a good chair. Or you can find some place that you can reiax in without failing asleep, although there’s nothing wrong with a sleep.

Mark an “x” on your calendar every day you read, and try to keep your unbroken “x”es going as long as possible.
