FEW TIPS TO AVOID DRY SKIN THIS WINTER

Winter brings cozy sweaters, hot drinks, and festive gatherings—but also cold winds and dry air that can leave your skin feeling tight, itchy, and dehydrated. 

Taking care of your skin during the colder months is essential to maintain its glow and softness.

At Sabai Thai Spa, we understand how winter affects your body and skin. That’s why we remain open all season, offering the relaxation and renewal you need. 

Whether it’s our famous Thai Massage in Vancouver or our indulgent Spa Packages, you’ll find the perfect way to refresh your body, mind, and skin this winter.

Tip #1: Stay Hydrated from the Inside Out

Hydration starts within. Even if you don’t feel as thirsty in winter, your body still needs adequate water.

• Drink 7–8 glasses of water daily.
  
• Include hydrating foods like cucumbers, oranges, and soups.
  
• Limit alcohol and caffeine, as they can dehydrate your skin. 

Tip #2: Switch to a Richer Moisturizer

Light summer lotions may not be enough during winter.

• Opt for cream-based moisturizers or nourishing oils that lock in hydration.
  
• Apply immediately after showering to seal in moisture.
  
• Focus on problem areas like hands, elbows, and feet. 

Tip #3: Avoid Long, Hot Showers

Hot water feels relaxing, but it strips your skin of natural oils.

• Use lukewarm water instead.
  
• Limit showers to 10–15 minutes.
  
• Pat skin dry gently before applying moisturizer. 

Tip #4: Use a Humidifier Indoors

Heating systems dry out indoor air, which can worsen skin dehydration.

• Place a humidifier in your bedroom or living area.
  
• Keep humidity levels between 40–60% for best results.
  
• Your skin—and even your respiratory system—will thank you. 

Tip #5: Exfoliate Gently

Dead skin cells can make skin look dull and block hydration.

• Use a mild exfoliant 1–2 times per week.
  
• Avoid harsh scrubs that can cause micro-tears.
  
• Always follow with a moisturizer to replenish your skin barrier. 

Tip #6: Protect Your Skin Outdoors

Cold winds and UV rays are just as harsh in winter as in summer.

• Always wear a broad-spectrum SPF.
  
• Use scarves, hats, and gloves to protect sensitive areas.
  
• Reapply lip balm regularly to prevent chapping.
