Looking to stay well in the colder, winter months? VivoDoc has some tips to stay well, and fast, efficient solutions to book appointments with nearby providers or virtually for when you feel under the weather. Let’s dive into some tips for staying well this winter, and how to get fast, efficient treatment when you aren’t feeling so hot.
Winter wellness tips: skincare, winter exercise tips, and beyond
It may seem hard to stay in tip-top shape when the weather gets colder outside, but there are still things you can do to get moving, protect your health, treat your skin, and beyond.
For one, did you know that sunscreen and proper UV protection is just as important in the winter months as it is in summer? Whether you’re outside skiing or simply taking a stroll, UV rays can be just as intense (if not more, sometimes) in the winter as they are in the summer. Compound that with drier, less humid air and you have a recipe for skin disaster. Before leaving the house in the winter, making sure you’re applying sunscreen with a high SPF and properly moisturizing your skin and lips with an efficient moisturizer and lip balm is so important. Keep your skin healthy and moisturized all season long, and protect your skin from the sun’s damaging UV rays (even when it’s cold outside).
Struggling to get moving in the winter? It may not seem like much, but even 15 to 30 minutes of exercise and concerted movement a day can help you stay heart-healthy and strong during the winter months. Whether you’re doing a quick, 15-minute at-home yoga workout online or going out for a jog (as long as you’re well-hydrated and staying bundled up!), you can find creative ways to keep your body in motion even when the weather outside isn’t so great. A few minutes a day can make a huge difference, and staying consistent (without overdoing it) will deliver results, even in small increments.
