How Scarves Can Help Protect Your Skin

Protecting your skin during the winter time is an absolute must, as all the cold, wind, rain and snow can really take its toll, drying our skin out and leaving it cracked and sore.

But the good news is that there’s a lot you can do to give your skin a break when you’re out and about, ensuring that you’re able to enjoy this time of year without having to worry that your skin will bear the brunt.

Clothing is an excellent first line of defence during the winter and covering your neck and chest with your favourite cream wool scarf can go a long way to keeping your skin soft, supple and protected against the elements.

Not only can wearing a scarf look after your skin during the winter, but it can also help protect you against the sniffles, colds and other nasty bugs, so bundling up over the next few weeks could be a very wise move indeed.

It’s also important to remember that, although the sun is certainly weaker during the winter than it is during the glorious summer months, your skin can still sustain sun damage if the conditions are right.

UVB rays (the main cause of sunburn) can affect you all year round, so make sure you’re looking after yourself, even if you think there’s minimal risk while you’re outside.

Of course, you’re sure to want to cover your skin up while you’re out and about during the winter… after all, it’s rather chilly out there right now! But it’s great to know that by wearing your favourite stylish winter scarves you’re able to look after your skin at the same time. Style and substance, all at the same time!
