As we bid farewell to allergy season, the onset of cold and flu season is just around the corner. Unfortunately, these seasonal ailments can take a toll on your skin. The constant need to blow your nose, the stress of feeling unwell, and the side effects of medications can all lead to skin issues. If you find yourself battling one of these conditions, here are some effective tips to help maintain your skin’s vitality. After all, looking good can significantly boost your mood!
- Apply a soothing cold gel mask to your skin. This treatment can reduce puffiness around the eyes and alleviate sinus pain and pressure, giving you instant relief.
- Utilize a humidifier in your bedroom at night. Dry air strips moisture from your skin, leading to dehydration. This effect can be exacerbated if you’re using decongestants. Keeping the air humid can help preserve your skin’s moisture levels.
- Keep a moisturizer handy for your nose at all times. The constant rubbing and wiping can leave your nose red, dry, and irritated. Applying a small amount of cream frequently will deliver immediate comfort and protect against damage.
- Stay hydrated with plenty of water or green tea. Proper hydration helps flush out toxins and regulates your body temperature, contributing to healthier skin.
- Make it a routine to wash your face before bedtime. Throughout the day, we often touch our faces without realizing it, leading to the accumulation of oil and bacteria. A nightly cleanse is essential for maintaining skin health and preventing breakouts.
- Be cautious with greasy hand creams if you’re acne-prone. Applying heavy creams right before bed can lead to clogged pores, especially if you sleep with your hands near your face. Consider wearing cotton gloves to avoid this issue.
