Winter Skincare Tips

Now is the winter of our discontent.”
-          William Shakespeare

Winters – rightly described by the world’s greatest poet and playwright so pertinently yet so purely and simply! Winters – one word that sends jitters to our spine with the thought of all the problems and dissatisfaction that it brings to our face and skin. With all the frigid and dry air outside and the indoor heating, the delicate baby soft skin of ours is left parched and cracked. The harsh windy chilled winters leaves most of the skin over the body parts moisture-starved. For some it is even more forbidding resulting in results in flaking, cracking, even eczema.

To keep the most pampered part of your body- the skin even more radiant, rosy, glowing, and moisturized and baby soft, Modicare brings a range of products to cater to all the uncomfortable dryness of your skin, majorly face, hands and feet. Its time you be extra wary about your body to deal with all those winter woes and pay heed some very convenient winter skincare tips that Modicare brings to you:
1.    Clean up that extra make-up with a creamy cleanser that doesn’t strip away moisture during winter.
2.    Try avoiding hot water that wreaks havoc on dry skin, instead use lukewarm water.
3.    Keep the skin moisturized throughout the day with oil based moisturizer (esp non clogging oils like- avocado oil, mineral oil, primrose oil, or almond oil.)
4.   To heal chapped lips use lip balm with at least SPF 15 and preferably one with antiseptic agents to aid in healing.
5.   To reconcile those cracked heels soak your feet in warm water at night for 15 minutes,scrub with a pumice stone and apply foot cream.
6.   For softer hands add some sugar to lemon juice and use the mixture to scrub the hands.
7.   Apply a skin life anti-ageing cream and massage it on the skin with a little water.

With all the above mentioned tips, we can assure that - “No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn.”
