skincare routine for a better result and always flawless skin.
1. Do not take a hot shower- instead take a shower or wash your face with lukewarm water. Hot water will strip the skin of natural oil which makes your skin dry, harsh, and itchy.
2. Stay hydrated- try to stay hydrated, and drink plenty of water throughout the day because staying hydrated from the inside will eventually affect your skin from the outside.
It will prevent skin and lips from drying too much.
3. Cover yourself- when leaving outside try to cover your skin properly, wear a face mask, scarf, and gloves as winter wind will make your skin more dry and harsh.
4. Do not skip Moisturizer- never skip your moisturizer always keep your face, skin, and body moisturized to prevent dryness and itchiness due to dryness and other skin issues.
5. Consult the doctor- if your condition is too harsh and it is bleeding and severe then you must visit the doctor and must take good care of your skin.
