While your face is most susceptible, windburn can also affect other parts of your skin. The easiest way to protect it is to bundle up. Wear mittens to protect your hands, a scarf or a neck warmer for your neck and chin, and a winter cap or headband for your ears.

 

2. Don't Forget To Moisturize

 

The best moisturizer you can use during winter is petroleum based cream. You may not like the idea of slathering petroleum on your face, but it acts as an excellent windshield. It is important to moisturize your lips, too. Consider a soothing lip balm to retain, moisturize and nourish dry lips. 

 

While the sun may not be out as much during winter, you can actually end up receiving a double dose of UV rays reflected by the snow when the sun appears intermittently. It is important to wear a sunscreen all year-round-even during winter.

 

Another way of helping your windburned skin is to pile on foods that are rich in vitamin E. This vitamin plays a crucial role in healing the skin and can therefore help in treating windburn. Avocado, broccoli, almonds, pine nuts and sunflower seeds are all rich sources of vitamin E and should be included in your diet. You can also use the following moisturizers or face creams that contain vitamin E.
