Switch on to natural ingredients for taking care of your skin this winter

Digital Desk: The suitable elements must be included in your skincare routine to maintain the health of your skin during the winter season, when the skin loses its natural moisture and becomes dry and sensitive. 

There are various organic compounds that will nourish your skin in this weather, but the only thing required to work the enchantment is awareness of the nutrients with moisture-giving properties.

During an interview with a national news agency, Prakash Singh, VP R&D and Operations at Nature 4 Nature, advised a few elements to the people who should include in their winter skincare:

1. Honey - Honey is nature's most powerful moisturiser. Honey, in addition to moisturising our skin, helps to reduce fine wrinkles. 

2. Almond - Use almond powder to scrub. Combine milk and almond powder to make a thick paste. After gently exfoliating your skin with this face scrub, it will become softer and more vibrant. 

3. Turmeric - Turmeric contains antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds. These characteristics may give the skin a glow and lustre. Turmeric has the potential to restore your skin's natural beauty.

Despite the fact that there are many more naturally occurring compounds, the substances listed above are some of the most widely utilised to keep skin hydrated and lustrous even in the dry winter. 

According to Sukhleen Aneja, CEO of The Good Brands of The Good Glamm Group, the greatest way to treat dry skin is to provide it with what it requires, specifically lipids. "Ceramide- a proven ingredient to improve the skin's protective barrier and retain moisture, leaves the skin visibly plump and moisturised," she says. Ceramides are abundant in young skin, but as you age and suffer UV damage, the quality and quantity of ceramides decrease. This can result in a compromised skin barrier, resulting in redness, irritation, rough skin, and dehydration."

"A ceramide-based skincare regimen can renew your skin while keeping it moisturised, firm, and nourished," she said. Furthermore, our skin is subjected to a slew of external stimuli on a regular basis that might impair its barrier function. As a result, ceramide-based treatments that operate as protective barriers for our skin must be added."
