The skin is affected by seasonal changes and different weather conditions. Winter is about to knock on our door and there will be a lack of moisture in the air. In fact, moisture is the most important thing for the skin. Helps keep the skin soft and smooth. Seasonal changes and a lack of humidity affect the skin and dry it out.
Moisturize your skin to keep it soft
Moisture plays an important protective role in skin care, locking in natural moisture and preventing moisture loss. The skin absorbs moisture in the form of an oil-water emulsion. Therefore, the only way to solve the problem is to apply moisturizers daily to replenish the moisture loss. Even dry skin must be cared for with rich creams on a daily basis so that the skin receives emollients and can better store moisture.
Moisturizers are available in liquid and creamy forms. During the dry season for normal to dry skin, use a creamy moisturizer to apply after cleansing and toning. It should also be applied under makeup. A liquid moisturizer can be used at night after cleaning and caring for the skin.

Oily skin? Beware of surface dryness
Oily skin can retain moisture better than normal or dry skin. But oily skin can also lack moisture. This happens during the dry winter season when the outermost layer of skin is superficially dry. You can tell by the tension and discomfort immediately after washing. Small, white scales may also appear on some areas of the skin. Strong moisturizers shouldn't be applied to oily skin as oil clogs pores and can lead to blackheads , open pores, and even pimples. A light moisturizing lotion can be applied during the drying time.
