How to Take Care of Dry Skin In Fall

Taking care of your skin varies throughout the year.  What may be best for summer will no longer work in fall or winter due to factors in the environment that a woman must face. To avoid dry skin problems in the winter season, it is best to prepare during the fall season.

What causes dry skin dry skin in fall to winter?
The methods of warding off the cold and the cold temperature cause the skin to get dry and rough. The fall is the transition to winter thus, the temperature drop, the air becomes drier, and the days grow shorter.
  • The harsh winds can strip the natural lipids of the skin causing it to dry out.
  • Cold, dry air has less moisture that hot or humid air.
  • The heat at home from a heating system can cause dryness as well.
  • Hot baths and showers feel great but bad for the skin.
  • The heat from the fireplace can toast the skin and lead to build up of dead skin.
  • Wool fabric can cause irritation when it rubs to your skin.
  • Hot caffeinated drinks or alcoholic ones can dehydrate your body because they are diuretic.
  • Winter sun is also damaging like the summer sun.
It would be best to counter the effect of the cold season by adjusting your skin care treatment to make it fall-appropriate.

How to take care of your skin?
The fall is the perfect time to exfoliate and moisturize your skin which was exposed to saltwater, chlorine, and sun in the summer. The following 5 skin care tips will help as well as beauty treatments.
  • Time to use hydrating cleanser that is free of soap. Scented soaps and soapy body scrubs can cause dry skin. Creamy body wash is suitable to use when you take a shower.

  • The chlorine, sun, and saltwater from summer may have caused your skin to feel flaky and dry. Begin the new season by having a full body exfoliation using and oil-based body scrub. Oil-based body scrub can do wonders to your skin because it also hydrates as well as exfoliates the skin.
  • The dry air calls for a thicker moisturizer so you have to use cream instead of lotion to moisturize your skin. Creams lessen loss of water from the skin because they have a stronger oil barrier and at the same time, provide hydrating effect.
  • To avoid painful dry, cracked lips this coming winter, start moisturizing your lips with a lip balm that is non-petroleum based. Groupon store have fabulous lip balm products for you to choose from.

    There is no reason to shower more than once a day. Don't shower in very hot water.
    * Avoid the over-use of soap. Use a mild soap with a skin-friendly pH value.
    * Dab skin dry - don't rub.
    * Apply a moisturiser while skin is still a little damp.
    * Air your home, and turn down the heating.
    * Do not over-indulge in sunbathing. Excessive exposure to sun rays can cause dry skin, wrinkles and skin cancer.

Aspirin for acne-prone skin

Aspirin has been around for a long time and its health benefits are wide and varied. Aspirin , or acetylsalicylic acid is a salicylate drug, often used as an analgesic to relieve minor aches and pains , as an antipyretic to reduce fever , and as an anti-inflammatory medication. Aspirin's greatest benefit is reducing cardiovascular events including heart attacks and strokes. According to the American Heart Assoc. virtually all women are at risk of heart disease and doctors should more strongly consider prescribing a daily aspirin for their female patients. There is growing evidence to suggest regular aspirin use may reduce cancer and dementia as well. Investigators from the Women's Health Study have reported important new findings demonstrating that aspirin reduces the risk of a first stroke in women.

Aloevera, the wonder herb

Of all the herbs available in the kitchen garden, aloe is perhaps the richest in healing properties and has been rightly named the “first-aid” plant. It has moisturizing and emollient properties and is used in cosmetic creams, sun-lotions, shaving creams and face packs. It can easily be cultivated as a house-plant in a sunny warm spot with good drainage. Cosmetologists mix aloe with several other herbs and draft fancy names for it. Then these “herbal” avatars are sold at exorbitant prices. Growing a plant and using fresh gel is much more effective than bottled gel, simply because it is alive and therefore is more potent. It is the only plant whose extract is applied directly from plant to face in its natural and purest form.

I Tried a Headache Balm and Ended Up with Rashes

I do have this habit of slathering pain balms whenever I have a headache. But never did I get a skin reaction or rashes from it. It so happened that I had an extremely severe headache a few months ago.  The pain was so unbearable that I gingerly reached out for a pain balm kept on my bedside table and kept on slathering it repeatedly all over the temples of my forehead. Next morning, after I woke up, I found that the skin on my forehead was peeling off and worse there were red rashes!  This was the first time in my life that I was getting rashes from applying a pain balm on my forehead !  I have never had any pain balm allergy or as such!  Side-effects due to application of a pain balm  was something I've never come across all these years! I usually use pain balms of reputed companies – my usual favourites are Tiger balm, Amrutanjan, Zandu balm and Sloan’s balm.  This time I had used Tiger balm. But why did it  give me rashes now, when I had used it...
