Know the number of times to wash face: Don t wash your face more than twice a day. Using a face wash frequently will steal all your skin s hydration and nutrition. If you are feeling dirty or just got back from the gym, just splash some water on your face.

Choose the right face wash: Stay away from foaming face wash and use a cream or oil cleanser instead. These will gently get rid of oil while also providing nutrition and moisture to your skin. (Read: Home remedies for winter skincare)

Say no to toner: Toners are a big cause of skin drying up. In fact, they usually contain alcohol, which leads to dryness.

Use a beauty oil: Instead of using a basic cream or lotion, which only have 15 to 20 percent oil-based components, a pure beauty oil will deliver 100 percent hydration benefits. Look for grapeseed or pumpkin seed oil, which will moisturise while also giving important nutrients like vitamin E and Omega 3 Fatty Acids.
