Winter and pollution are not exactly best friends with your hair and skin. Despite the sun’s power being minimal, the UV rays can be harmful to the skin and hair. The winter dryness coupled with lower air quality means hair and skin dryness. The pollutants can cause hair to break and fall, premature greying and get itchy scalp, while your skin faces issues like acne, dermatitis and even psoriasis.

They leave them dry, dull, and just plain tired. But don’t worry — with a little extra care, you can keep them looking fresh, soft, and glowing all season.

In all this, everyone must follow simple ways to protect their skin and hair.

Taking care of your skin

Follow a simple procedure in skincare that includes using a mild face wash/cleanser, and then moisturising your skin.

Start with a good face wash that cleans your skin deeply. Look for natural stuff that fights bacteria and clears away dirt, grime, and pollution. This will leave your face feeling fresh and free from pesky skin issues. After that, slap on a rich moisturising cream. Go for one packed with natural oils and herbal goodness that locks in moisture and protects your skin from the winter chill. Smooth, soft skin? Yes, please!

Taking care of your hair

Now, about your hair. Give it some TLC with a nourishing cleanser that strengthens each strand from root to tip. Look for products with plant-based ingredients to revive your dry, dull hair and reduce hair fall. Follow up with a conditioner that leaves your hair soft, shiny, and easy to manage. Bonus points if it’s got natural oils to repair damage and boost hydration. Avoid hot hair to wash your face or hair.

Protection from the sun

Don’t skip sunscreen just because it’s winter. The sun’s rays are still out to get you. When going out, use sunscreen since the UV rays are still prominent. If you have to stay outdoors for a bit, keep applying sunscreen from time to time. A small cap or scarf can help protect your hair from polluted winds. Avoid touching your face too much. Pick one with natural blockers that protect against UV rays and keep your skin hydrated too. It’s a win-win for your face.

Protection from inside

Don’t forget — beauty starts from the inside. Eat foods rich in nutrients, vitamins, and antioxidants. A healthy diet gives your hair and skin the strength to fight off pollution and winter’s harshness.

While keeping your diet filled with antioxidants that help your skin and hair, ensure you take supplements and food that have Vitamin E, Vitamin C and omega fatty acids. There are plenty of natural supplements to keep the pollutants away in the season.

Stick to these easy steps, and your hair and skin will stay glowing, soft, and strong all season. Don’t let the cold or pollution dull your shine — you’ve got this!
