Hello there, you two, the handsome men and women of Bethel! Everyone knows how harsh the climate is here. Further, the atmospheric conditions characteristic of winter are very similar to those in the desert—cold and very dry, and our skin and hair pay the price. Do not stress that I have some incredible beauty tips that will give you glowing skin regardless of whether you are outside or inside. Let’s dive in!
Hydration is Key
Before going to the juicy part, let me tell you about the importance of water. The human skin and hair require moisture to be healthy. Bethel is extremely cold and is expected to drink very little water. Here’s what you can do
Drink Water
It might seem obvious, but drinking enough water is essential for healthy skin. It is recommended to drink at least eight glasses of water daily.
Moisturize Your Skin
Apply a good moisturizer recommended by skin specialists, depending on your skin type. Shower and towel-dry, then apply the moisturizer immediately after you step out of the shower when your skin is still moist. You should look for excellent moisturizers containing hyaluronic acid or glycerin.
Humidifier Magic
It is recommended that one order a humidifier for use in the home. It humidifies the air, thus helping the skin not dry up. Besides the skin, it’s also good for the hair.
Gentle Cleansing
It is mandatory to wash your face and the rest of your body; nevertheless, one has to be especially careful in harsh winter conditions. Here’s how:
Choose a Gentle Cleanser
Choose a gentle soap to clean your face because a very penetrating soap will eliminate the natural oils from your skin. The following will wash your skin, thus removing all acne-causing agents without washing off the skin’s natural oils that help moisturize it.
Don’t Overwash
Avoid overwashing your face, as it might cause skin dryness. It is recommended that you wash your face twice a day, once in the morning and once before bed.
Protect Your Skin
The weather in Bethel is brutal, but you can protect your skin with a few simple steps:
Sunscreen is a Must
UV rays pose a danger to your skin not only in the summer but also in winter. Apply the sunscreen on your skin daily. Use the sunscreen or sunblock with at least 30 SPF. This helps safeguard against tanning failure and decreases the probability of skin cancer fatalities.
Cover Up
Wear a hat, a scarf, and gloves, primarily when outside, to protect yourself from cold wind. This also helps prevent chapping or dry skin.
Hair Care Tips
Even your hair can be damaged in such a climate. Here are some tips to keep it looking fabulous:
Deep Conditioning
Deep condition once a week to ensure your hair is moisturized. You can also use natural oils such as coconut or olive oil. Massage the oil on your hair, wait 30 minutes, and then wash the hair as usual.
Avoid Heat Styling
Minimize their use to dry, straighten, or curl hair since these products heat it. This intense heat can damage and dry the hair even more.
Use a Wide-Tooth Comb
Additionally, wet hair is likely to break easily compared to dry hair since the strands are more delicate. Do not pull your hair tightly when removing the tangles; instead, use a wide-tooth comb and try to comb slowly, starting from the tips of your hair and moving up toward the roots.
Lip Care
Indeed, one must admit that cracked lips are one of the main concerns related to the climate of Bethel. Here’s how to keep your lips soft and smooth:
Lip Balm
Lip balm is a must in such weather. Always carry a lip balm in your pocket or purse and apply it to your lips several times a day. Go for balms that contain good ingredients like beeswax, coconut oil, or shea butter.
Exfoliate Gently
Gently exfoliate your lips once a week to remove the dead skin. You can use a lip scrub or you can make it at your home easily by mixing honey and sugar. Rub it one your lips and then wash it after some time.
DIY Beauty Hacks
You know? Some amazing beauty products are there right in your kitchen. Here are some easy DIY hacks:
Honey Face Mask
Honey helps retain moisture, meaning it is a good natural humectant. Take a small amount of honey and rub it on your face; let the honey work for 15-20 minutes. Then, wash your face with warm water. You will notice your skin becoming soft and hydrated.
Oatmeal Bath
For dry and itchy skin, go to your kitchen and prepare an oatmeal bath. Take a handful of oatmeal, blend it, and add them to your bathwater. To cleanse the skin and have it well moisturized, it should be soaked for 15-20 minutes.
Avocado Hair Mask
Avocados are rich sources of fats that will nourish your hair. Mash up a ripe of avocado and mix it with a tablespoon of olive oil. Massage it into your scalp, let it sit for 20 minutes, and then wash it off.
