Winter skincare: Avoid these 5 common skincare mistakes this winter

During winters our skin needs proper care and attention but instead we often end up making mistakes. Here are some mistakes you must avoid this winter.

Over-exfoliation – Exfoliating skin frequently causes dryness, inflammation and burning. So, it is better to exfoliate once a week to remove dead cells of the skin.

Washing face too often- Avoid washing your face more than twice a day with face wash as it makes your skin lose moisture and oil, making it dry.

Avoid touching your face- Repeatedly touching your face may transfer germs and bacteria to the skin leading to breakouts.

Never forget sunscreen- A right amount of SPF is what your skin always needs. Apply sunscreen even when you are indoors or on a cloudy day. Sun exposure increases the production of melanin which results in pigmentation.

Moisturise well- Choose a moisturiser that suits your skin type. In winters you need to keep your body, face and lips well moisturised.
