15 Effective Tips For Glowing Skin This Winter

Change Drying Habits

A quick rub down with a towel after showering can result in damage to the dermis. Most people rub the towel over their skin to dry as quickly as possible, but it is not the correct way to dry off. Rubbing a towel over the skin removes the body’s natural moisture, which is no good for the skin. The proper technique is to pat the body dry to keep the moisture locked in as much as possible, though it can be a difficult habit to create. It takes a little more time after each shower, but the benefits are worth the additional time.

Moisturize Immediately Following Showers

The shower opens pores and helps the body absorb moisture faster and more efficiently, and this is why it's integral to moisturize as quickly as possible. Once out of the shower, seize the moisturizing window while the pores are still open. It does not hurt to apply lotion when skin is already dry, but it is more beneficial to moisturize immediately following a shower. People may use any lotion they please, but it does help to find one that speaks to their particular skin type.
