Get smooth and supple skin by these easy ways this winter

The winter season can be quite difficult for your body since stepping out for an exercise, or even for normal everyday chores feels too much. You have to load yourself with layers of clothes and end up looking like a snowman. While you can flaunt your skin in the summer, the only part of your body visible during winters is your face and the winter wind can be really harsh on your facial skin.
Though a difficult season for the skin, winter is pretty bountiful with the seasonal gifts it comes with in terms of food and nutrition. Here are a few quick winter season hacks for your skin to keep it supple and smooth.

Ghee for chapped lips

You may have never considered it but warm ghee can really help with the dry lips. Just apply a drop or two of warm ghee on your lips and get smooth, soft lips without burning a hole in your pocket by buying a super expensive lip balm. Ghee is essentially good for the body, especially in winters. It contains good fats and is full of nutrition and provides strength and better immunity to the body.

Sun protection by tomatoes

Dermatologists suggest that one should use sunscreen before stepping out in the sun as the harmful UV rays can have adverse effects on the skin. Though an external sunscreen is a good option, another great idea is to eat a raw tomato that has nutrients that act as a natural internal sunscreen for your skin. Tomatoes are rich in vitamin C, biotin and vitamin E, all of which act as natural guarding agents against the harmful rays of the sun. A tomato salad or tomato soup also tastes extra delicious in the winter cold.

Do not use hot water to wash your face

No, we don't mean use the freezing water out from the tap to wash your face, but you can find a middle ground and go for lukewarm water instead. Very hot water can be harmful to your face and can cause early ageing and rashes. Lukewarm water opens pores so that when you wash your face, all your pores are also cleaned. Also, do not fall into the trap of not washing your face before going to bed just because it is too cold.

Invest in a good cleanser

You may live in a place where the water is actually freezing or may have gone on a vacation where you encounter a similar situation. This is why you should invest in a good cleanser that suits your skin type. Judge by experience or ask your dermatologist, and use the cleanser as directed. The cleanser can also be a good escape when you do not want to wash your face because of the cold.

Eat the greens

Winter is a season of an abundance of nutrition. All green leafy vegetables are an elixir for your skin. Make sure you include them in your diet to ensure that your skin is healthy and glowing all through the winter. Also, make sure to keep hydrated by drinking a lot of water.

IMPORTANCE OF B-VITAMINS

Vitamin B is a complex of 8 vitamins, which not only essential for a good health, but also enables smooth functioning of various functions of the body. Further, each of the vitamin B complexes has specific body functions ranging from iron metabolism to hair health to preventing migraine. Our body requires vitamin substances, as stated by their names.

• Vitamin B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid), B6, B7 (biotin), B9 (folate), B12.
•  
• Vitamin B complex is widely present in food sources, and in someone who eats a well-balanced diet would be getting the required amounts of vitamin B complex.
• Vitamin B1, also known as thiamine, is required for the body to make new cells and so has a significant role in the immune system. It has also known as the anti-stress vitamin as it helps in improving immunity. It also is required for breakdown of carbohydrates.
• Vitamin B2, chemically known as riboflavin, is essential for red blood cell production and transporting oxygen throughout the body. It also has antioxidant properties by reducing free radicals. This also has anti-aging properties and reduces the onset of heart disease.
• Vitamin B3, also known as niacin, is essential for cholesterol regulation. It promotes the formation of good cholesterol and so essential for preventing the onset of heart disease. It also is shown to have anti-acne effects.
• Vitamin B5, pantothenic acid, is essential for fat and carbohydrate metabolism. It also is required for the production of hormones including testosterone and cortisol (stress hormones). It is also beneficial to the skin by reducing anti-aging effects including reducing brown spots.
• Vitamin B6 or pyridoxine, has a major role to play in sleep and mood regulation. It produces various neurotransmitters like serotonin, melatonin, and norepinephrine which are essential for emotional well-being. It also has anti-inflammatory properties and is useful in conditions like rheumatoid arthritis.
• Vitamin B7 or Biotin is known as the beauty vitamin, as it has major hair, skin, and nail benefits. It is also essential for glucose level maintenance. It assumes great importance in pregnancy as it is important for normal growth of the baby.
• Vitamin B9 or folate or folic acid is again very essential in pregnancy as deficiency can lead to neurological defects in the developing baby. It also plays a major role in carrying oxygen to the cells through the RBCs.
• Vitamin B12 or cobalamin is essential to ensure the other vitamins are functioning properly. B12 deficiency leads to anaemia, as it enables the red blood cells to carry oxygen throughout the body. It is mostly present in non-vegetarian foods and supplements are commonly given in anaemic people.
