The cool days are officially starting, and here at Syracuse that means the cold days are just around the corner. I can just feel the winter depression setting in, and my skin feels the same way. My hands are already dry and eczema is surfacing. Yeah, I think that definitely makes someone wanna hold my hand…if that someone also happens to have winter lizardy skin.
As if losing your summer bronze glow isn’t bad enough, the cold wind and weather does some serious damage to your skin. And your precious face and dainty hands get the worst of it, as they most often feel the harshness of the cold air. So how can you protect your skin without staying in your room all day? (No, that isn’t an option; professors don’t care about your skin that much.)
Below are some suggestions to get your skin back to the baby’s-bottom-soft feel of summer. No more cracking, flaking or drying out this winter, women.
Hands: If your skin is only mildly dry or you just want to prevent it from happening, a thick cream will do the trick. Try L’Occitane’s Shea Butter Hand Cream or Bliss’ High Intensity Hand Cream. And keep that stuff with you wherever you go; skin dries out quickly in the winter-time and you want to be prepared.

Still battling with dry skin? Well, it’s a common problem and quite irritating too. Truth is, dry skin can be caused by a number of factors such as: weather changes, hot showers, air conditioners, harsh soap and cleansers and several other causes that strips away moisture from the skin. It’s much harder on women since we tend to lose more moisture at a faster rate than men. Though it’s always recommended to drink plenty of H20 to quench our skin’s thirst, it’s not always enough which is why it’s vital to incorporate additional supplements to keep the skin hydrated and finally eliminate dry skin. So, how do we treat dry skin? I was reading a great article that gave some excellent advice and tips on treating dry skin. Beautiful skin is achieved through good eats. When your body is healthy on the inside, it will show on the outside. Having a positive change in one’s diet is crucial to treat dry skin. Here are some known foods that will help banish your skin troubles.
- Eat lots of fruits and leafy vegetables- They are loaded with Vitamin A, B, and E. Here’s a few: Cantaloupe, milk, apricots, avocado, wheat germ, plain yogurt.
- Yellow and orange vegetables like carrots are good because it has beta-carotene which tackles dry skin.
- Foods rich in Sulfur are great because Sulfur prevents dry skin by stimulating the metabolism. Examples: onions, garlic, eggs, asparagus.
- Flaxseed oil is a great health benefit to the skin.
- Stay away from fatty foods and beverages that dehydrates the skin such as alcohol, coffee, and beverages.
