The long Chicago winter can take a toll on your skin. Cold, harsh conditions outside coupled with the heat blasting indoors can leave your skin feeling dry, itchy, and irritated. Even our favorite winter activities, like hot showers and sitting by the fire, can be detrimental for our skin. Skin care in West Loop is especially important during the winter months and should be taken seriously. The team at lillieAnn’s has a few helpful tips to survive the cold.
Invest in a Humidifier
Consider investing in a humidifier to maximize the amount of moisture your skin gets. By putting a humidifier in your office and the rooms you use most at home, you’ll add moisture to the air and keep your skin healthy and hydrated.
Fragrance-Free Cleansers
Heavily-scented soap can exacerbate dry, itchy skin. Instead of using soap with irritating ingredients, find a fragrance-free, moisturizing face and body cleanser.
Limit High Temperatures
When it’s chilly outside, you might want to immediately jump in a hot shower or crank up the thermostat. Unfortunately, this is part of the problem. Long, steamy showers and high central heating can make your skin even drier. Remember to avoid using excessively hot water when showering or washing your hands – if your skin turns red from the water, it’s too hot.
