How to Keep Your Skin Smooth During Winter

Our skin is our body’s largest and most exposed organ. That’s why it’s important that we look after it all year round – especially in Winter.

Use a nourishing body lotion

There’s nothing like a good nourishing body lotion to keep your skin smooth and hydrated. However, it’s important to note that the body lotion you used in Summer might not have the same moisturising effect in Winter. For moisture that lasts, try out the Vitamin e cream from Dawn’s wide range of nourishing body lotions and creams.

This cream is enriched with 100% natural moisturisers that deliver 48-hour moisturisation. The added benefit of this body lotion is that it helps reduce the appearance of stretch marks. Try it for yourself!

Exfoliate your skin

Exfoliating your body at least twice a week can help promote regular surface cell turnover, relieve dryness, and improve your skin’s texture. Regular exfoliation also helps moisturisers to penetrate more deeply into your skin – that way it can stay properly hydrated. Use a body scrub or exfoliating body wash on wet skin and massage all over your body and rinse off with warm water.

Apply body lotion on damp skin

It’s bad enough that hot baths and showers take their toll on our skin, but if you apply body lotion while your skin is still damp, then it absorbs the product more readily. It also gives your body lotion the chance to lock in all the moisture.

Consider getting a humidifier

Dry winter air can cause our skin to feel flaky, but if you get a humidifier for your home, then you won’t have to worry about that happening. A humidifier can do wonders for your skin as it adds moisture to indoor air and can keep your skin feeling smooth.

Hydrate your skin from within

Hydration is a crucial step to maintaining smooth skin, so make sure that you’re drinking enough water throughout the day to flush out toxins from your body and assist your skin to store moisture. Add water-rich fruits and vegetables to your diet such as cucumber, watermelon, spinach, apples, tomatoes, pineapples and broccoli to keep your skin beautifully smooth – we are what we eat after all.
