It feels great to take a nice, hot shower when you're cold in the winter, but you've probably heard how long, hot showers can dry out your skin. Here are a few tips from BellaSugar.com that you might want to consider next time you hop under the stream.
1. Lower the temperature. You don't have to take a freezing cold shower – just take the heat down a notch so it's warm, not hot.
2. Use a simple, creamy moisturizing body wash, like Dermalogica – Conditioning Body Wash. Gels and other clear washes can dry up your skin in the winter months.
3. Turn off the water while you're sudsing up. This will reduce the amount of heat and steam in the bathroom and limit the drying effects of being exposed to the water.
4. Do a quick cold rinse before you step out. This will not only wake you up a bit, but it will tighten your pores.
5. While you're still a bit wet after the shower, use a lotion like Caswell-Massey – Almond & Aloe Hand & Body Emulsion with Silk all over your body. It will soak in better on damp skin.
