Winter Skincare Tips for Men

India’s leading Aesthetic and Cosmetic Dermatologist, Dr Simal Soin shares with GlobalSpa how men can best take care of their skin during wintertime. Changing seasons pull out moisture from your skin leaving it dry and dull. Brutal wind and dry hair can have negative effects on the skin- even on men. To ensure your skin remains nourished and supple in-between seasons, here are some tips you could follow: Keep yourself hydrated Drinking lots of water should not be just a summer essential. When your skin gets dry and itchy it means you are dehydrated. Drink 8-10 glasses of water every day, throughout the year, to keep your skin healthy. A good face mask can spring your skin back to its youthful glory after a long, tiring and stressful day in just a few minutes. Look for one that clears your pores while hydrating and soothing your skin.   Use a moisturising shaving gel Since shaving is an integral part of a man’s routine, it needs to be done right. To make sure that your skin doesn’t get itchy while shaving, opt for a moisturizing shaving gel that soothes the area as you shave. You may also opt to have permanent laser hair reduction for beard shaping.   Go for a Hydrafacial This all-seasons unisex treatment that suits all skin types and works to improve every layer of your skin, has been AAYNA’s treatment for many years now. In less than 40 minutes, the active serums used in this treatment cleanse and remove dead skin, unclog pores, extract hidden impurities and hydrate at the deepest level to reveal the healthiest layer of skin. The Hydra-facial will leave your skin looking youthful despite harsh weather conditions.   Use an eye-cream Whether you have dark circles, fine lines or puffiness, an eye cream is essential for all seasons and all skin types. Combining this with AAYNA Clinic’s Wonder Eye treatment will give you long-lasting results. This is a signature treatment for under-eye woes which uses three different treatment modalities – laser, radiofrequency and a repair & rejuvenating mask to restore the natural health and appearance of your under-eye skin.   Wash Beard Twice A Day and Try a Beard Oil Any men's winter-skincare regimen is incomplete if the beard hasn't been looked after. Your facial hair collects a lot of dirt, dust and bacteria causing pimples. A drop-in temperature combined with low humidity levels often dries up your skin, leaving your bearded area itchy. It is recommended that men should wash their beard twice a day with a cleanser to prevent pimples. Apply several drops of oil between your palms and massage upwards into your facial hair making sure your palms reach the skin underneath.   Solution for Dry Lips Moisturize your lips. Winter is all about moisturizing. We recommend applying a hydrating lip balm to lock in moisture before stepping out in the cold. You can even apply a hydrating overnight lip mask before going to bed to help restore dry lips while you sleep.   For Premature Ageing, use a Sunscreen Never skimp on sunscreen during winters. It is a lifesaver when you step out into the winter sun. We tend to avoid sunscreen in winters as we think that the sun is not that harsh as in summers, but that’s not true. Not only does it protect your skin from damage because of pollutants and harsh ultraviolet rays, but it also helps prevent premature ageing.   Disclaimer: This article is authored by Dr. Simal Soin – Founder, AAYNA Clinic.
