How to Avoid Winter Acne and Dry, Flaky Skin at Home

How to Avoid Winter Acne and Dry, Flaky Skin at Home

Winter is not just about being warm and snuggly. It is, unfortunately, sometimes, about skin problems that come with the onset of winter. As the skin's natural oil barrier is compromised, the occurrence of blemishes and acne becomes quite frequent. Winter acne can be a challenge to manage as the cold weather and dry air can contribute to skin dryness, which may possibly aggravate the acne. Acne is caused mostly when dead skin cells, oils, and dirt clog the pores on the skin. It mostly occurs on the face, chest, back, neck, and arms. 

But you can also take certain measures to combat winter acne along with dry and flaky skin. Vega offers a wide range of products for the same and also some helpful tips to help you manage your winter skin issues like a pro. Keep reading to find out.

Adjust Your Skin Care Routine According to Winter

The skincare routine that might have worked in summer and monsoon might not work in the winter season. You would need a specialized skincare routine depending on the changing levels of humidity and moisture, as well as your skin. Look for moisturizers designed for winter or check with a dermatologist for a specialized skincare routine as per your skin type and concerns.

 Gentle Cleansing and exfoliation

Using 3 in 1 facial cleanser

Use a mild face wash to wash your face. Avoid harsh face cleansers that can strip away natural oils and instead lead to increased dryness and irritation. Try using face cleansers that gently clean your face, with minimal effort. The Vega 3-in-1 Facial Cleanser can be a perfect addition to your skincare regime. Its 9500 Sonic Vibrations Technique perfectly cleanses dirt and excess oil. Featuring Hypoallergenic soft silicone bristles, it suits all skin types while its 10 adjustable vibration speed settings offer a personalized facial cleansing experience.

Gently and naturally exfoliate your body 

Do not rub your skin too much when taking a bath. Instead, gently exfoliate your skin using Vega natural bath accessories to practice gentle skin exfoliation. For instance, include the Vega Basic Hand Loofah when bathing, a natural bath accessory derived from the sisal plant. It helps in getting smooth and rejuvenated skin by easily cleansing and exfoliating.

Don’t touch your face often

Your hands touch multiple surfaces and substances often. Hence, touching your face might transfer germs and increase the risk of bacteria transfer, thus preventing acne breakouts on your skin. 

Moisturize your skin

Use moisturizer multiple times a day to keep your skin hydrated. Look for a product that is specifically designed for acne-prone skin to avoid clogging pores. Clogged pores might otherwise, cause more acne. Also, practice adding the CTM (Cleansing, Toning and Moisturizing) process in your skincare to gain the best results.

Use a Facial Steamer

Vega Mistify Facial Steamer

Use a Facial steamer to hydrate your skin and open the pores for better cleansing. The Vega Mistify Facial Steamer is designed to help soothe and rejuvenate the skin by promoting blood circulation, cleansing, and softening it. This is a portable and lightweight face steamer that is easy to clean and maintain. It gets ready to be used within 30 seconds and emits Rapid Superfine Mist with its 9 mm diameter steam outlet. Regular facial steaming can prevent your skin from drying out. Additionally, if you have blackheads or whiteheads, use Vega Blackhead Remover to easily remove them from your skin.

Choose the right skincare products

Use skincare products that are oil-free. Products with rich oil content can cause clogging of pores. Look for products that have natural ingredients, which can help manage acne and skin dryness. Take care of your skin dryness well in advance at the onset of winter. Taking care of the skin too late might cause long-term damage to the skin that might sometimes be irreversible. Additionally, massage your skin using Vega Rose Quartz Facial Roller to tighten muscles and improve skin health.

Do not prick your acne

Picking on your acne or scratching dry skin may make things worse for your skin. Doing so might cause your skin to be inflamed, cause redness, and might also cause more blemishes and acne to occur.

They can provide you with personalized advice that may help you with the skin situation.
