It is no secret that winter temperatures can be unbearable, and you may notice a change in your skin. Cold temperatures and harsh winds can cause skin to lose moisture, causing dryness, cracks, and even bleeding. It's not just your hands that suffer, your lips can become chapped, dry, and painful too.

 

What Causes Dry Lips In The Winter?

First, let's talk about why dryness occurs when it's cold outside. You may be wondering, 'Why do my lips get so chapped in the winter?' especially if you don't suffer from chapped, cracked lips any other time of the year.

Your skin is at its thinnest when it's cold outside, and since your lips are so sensitive to external factors, it makes sense that when humidity drops and the air becomes dry, your skin is unprotected against the harsh weather. Some parts of your body contain oil-producing glands that keep them hydrated, but your lips don't, this is why winter lip care is so important.

In this case, you'll need to turn to the best lip treatment for winter to not only heal your cracked lips but protect them from further dryness and damage.

How To Take Care Of Your Super Dry Hands

                                         

                                                     

 

Coconut oil for dry hands offers a superior hydrating solution for locking in long-term moisture for dry hands, and it's safe for all skin types. Take advantage of the benefits of using coconut oil as a hand moisturiser. Try Coconut Oil Formula Coconut Hydrate Hand Cream to keep your hands from, flaking, cracking, and bleeding. Make sure to always keep your hand cream nearby to prevent skin-dehydration on your hands.

                                          

                                                     

 

For extremely dry skin, dermatitis or eczema prone skin, cold weather can lead to exacerbated skin conditions. One of the best solutions to care for this kind of skin in the winter is to use cocoa butter for hands.

Cocoa Butter contains mass polyphenols and rich emollient that create a glove-like protective barrier for skin to safeguard it from the harsh elements. Harness the rich, creamy power of cocoa butter with the Cocoa Butter Hand Cream, which combines cocoa butter with skin-softening Vitamin E to heal dry skin and prevent cracking and flaking. Pro Tip - Keep a hand cream near your sinks in the kitchen and bathroom so you can follow hand washing or doing dishes with rich moisture to prevent raw, itchy hands or dry, hardened cuticles.

Enriched with powerful vitamins, shea butter protects and restores dry hands without irritation making this the perfect shea butter for cracked hands.

Pro Tip- doing chores around the house? Certain cleaning products can irritate sensitive skin. Try applying your shea butter cream for hands and then wearing protective cleaning gloves made especially for sensitive skin before jumping into any cleaning day. You keep hands protected while getting the added benefit of a deep nourishing treatment.
