Frosty days and chilly winds are here!

The winter is a great time of the year, filled with holidays and endless fun.

But it's not so great for your skin health. The cold weather, coupled with low humidity levels may take a toll on your skin, and lead to issues like dryness, chapping, bleeding.

Here are 8 ways to protect your skin in winter.

Use lukewarm water; Don't forget to moisturize

Lukewarm water: Sure hot showers feel great, but warm water can take away the natural, essential oils from your skin, thus rendering it weak and lifeless. To avoid this, use lukewarm water for washing hands and bathing, as far as possible.

Moisturization: Right after washing or bathing, apply a natural moisturizer on your skin, so as to avoid skin dryness and roughness.

Mind the sunscreen; Make sure to exfoliate

Sunscreen: Just because it's winter, doesn't mean you can ditch the sunscreen. The sun can be still as harsh. Protect your skin from the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays by applying a sunscreen, every time before heading out.

Exfoliate: Make sure to regularly exfoliate your skin using a good-quality and natural scrub. It will help remove the layer of dead skin and improve skin glow.

Always stay hydrated; Use DIY skincare masks

Hydration: Generally, we tend to drink lesser amount of water during winters, as we turn to hotter drinks like coffee and tea. But it is important to drink 8-12 glasses of water everyday to stay hydrated from inside out, and maintain good skin health.

DIY masks: Use DIY face masks, using naturally moisturizing ingredients like honey, avocado, yogurt, olive, almond oil, bananas, aloe vera.

Wear wisely; Consider getting a humidifier

Wear wisely; Consider getting a humidifier

Clothing: Certain winter fabrics (such as wool) could be harsh on your skin. For choosing clothes that would directly touch your skin, go for soft and comfortable fabrics like cotton and silk to avoid skin irritation and dryness.

Humidifier: Lack of natural humidity during winters is also known to harm the skin. So, you may consider installing a humidifier at your home.

Keep in Mind this 3 tip's

  1. Avoid winter tanning. Tanning beds and artificial sunlamps are always damaging to the skin and increase the risk of skin cancer. If you want to keep your summer glow, use self-tanners along with extra moisturizer, as self-tanners can also dry out the skin.
  2. Take vitamin D supplements. During the summer, your natural vitamin D production increases as a result of daily sun exposure, but when winter rolls around that exposure decreases. Taking vitamin supplements can ensure that you get the recommended amounts of vitamin D all year round.
  3. See your dermatologist. If you have persistent dry skin, scaling, itching, rashes, or skin growths that concern you, see your dermatologist — not only in winter but any time of the year.

Stay healthy!h

Beer production

Brewing  is the production of  beer  by steeping  a  starch  source (commonly cereal  grains, the most popular of which is  barley ) [1]  in water and  fermenting  the resulting sweet liquid with  yeast . It may be done in a  brewery  by a commercial brewer, at home by a  homebrewer , or by a variety of traditional methods such as communally by the  indigenous peoples in Brazil  when making  cauim . [2]  Brewing has taken place since around the 6th millennium BC, and archaeological evidence suggests that emerging civilizations including  ancient Egypt [3] and  Mesopotamia  brewed beer. [4]  Since the nineteenth century the  brewing industry  has been part of most western economies. The basic ingredients of beer are water and a  fermentable  starch source such as  malted barley .

Ethanol fermentation

Ethanol fermentation Read in another language Watch this page Edit In ethanol fermentation, (1) one glucose molecule breaks down into two pyruvates. The energy from this exothermic reaction is used to bind the inorganic phosphates to ADP and convert NAD+ to NADH. (2) The two pyruvates are then broken down into two acetaldehydes and give off two CO2 as a by-product. (3) The two acetaldehydes are then converted to two ethanol by using the H- ions from NADH, converting NADH back intoNAD+.                     Ethanol fermentation , also called alcoholic fermentation , is a   biological process   which converts   sugars   such as glucose ,   fructose , and   sucrose   into cellular energy , producing   ethanol   and carbon dioxide   as by-products. Because yeasts   perform this conversion in the absence of   oxygen , alcoholic fermentation   is conside...
