Ayurvedic Tips to Take Care of Your Skin During Winter

Eat Vitamin D high foodDue to the lack of sunlight during the winters, our body cannot get the required amount of vitamin D. This vitamin makes our bones strong and gives our skin a distinct glow. Therefore, this essential nutrition for skin can be added to our diet with foods like tomato, yoghurt, eggs, fish, soy products, milk products, etc.

Eat saturated fatNatural and pure forms of desi ghee and coconut oil are very saturated. These get absorbed into our skin and maintain the natural fat layer under our skin. Further, it helps in reducing the pimple blemishes and scars on the skin. You might also notice that regular intake of these fats prevents dryness of the skin. So, include nuts, olives, milk products for the right fat in your meal.

Practice yogaYoga and breathing exercises like the ‘Pranayama’ improve your skin’s oxygen flow and, therefore, have been proven as one of the most effective skincare during winters. Stay active and practise regular exercise. You can try yogic stretching postures to improve flexibility and help improve blood circulation.

Massage during the winterMassages are not only relaxing but also a healing and rejuvenating experience. In Ayurveda, we have different forms of massages for the whole body, hair, and face. Usually, these include various types of oils and herbs as per the need. A massage improves your skin’s blood circulation and relieves stress, giving you glowing and refreshed skin.
