“This coupled with the dry temperatures from central heating as well as the reality that our sebaceous glands slow down in winter could leave otherwise healthy skin looking dry and dehydrated. The skin can become sensitive, and this can cause more serious skin issues.”

Hello beautiful I’m awestruck! It’s cold outside but you’ve got work to complete and beautiful skins to take care of. While we know that it’s difficult to look after your skin during winter, it has to be taken care of.

We enjoy winter and the warmth it can dull our skin and makes it look dull and lifeless. Relatable, right? The cold weather lowers the humidity level , which translates into dry air , which causes a dry and flaky skins. In addition the products we use for daily skincare which we use such as the harsh cleanser and oil-absorbing creams draw moisture away off the skin, making it dry and rough. Showering hot is against your skin’s pH levels. How can you stop this? There are plenty of things you can implement to safeguard your skin from the winter ailment and we assure you that it’s not a difficult task!

What can you do? “During this time of year, it’s essential to adjust the routine of your skin care routine.”

Here are some tips to protect the skin against winter’s sting.

1. Make sure you layer your skin care

Similar to how you’d put your winter coat on top of the top of a cashmere jacket or the top of a thermal vest apply moisturizing serums to the skin that is clean, like ones that contain hyaluronic acid. After that, apply the face oil all over and then apply a moisturizing cream to make sure you are sealing the deal.

2. Make sure your skin is protected from water exposure

Apply a cleanser over your skin prior to getting into the shower or bath. Apply it while you wash or soak, and then remove before you leave. Apply your skin care or body lotion on only the skin that is damp. This will help keep moisture and keep skin soft.

3. Make sure you take extra care of your lips and eye area

This skin is thin and doesn’t have any oil glands to defend itself. Apply oils and serums around the eyes to soothe and shield the skin. On the lips, apply balms for occlusive to create an ointment against elements (to keep moisture in instead of providing it).

4. Consider investing in an humidifier

The harsh winter weather poses skin problems because humidity levels are low both inside and outside. The use of a humidifier aids in replenishing the epidermis’ top layer by keeping the air from drying out.

5. Wear breathable clothing

Select lightweight, soft layers that are on your skin instead of synthetic fabrics which can cause itching.

6. Choose natural ingredients

Soaps and body creams with fragrances can cause skin dryness. Try switching to non-scented, natural formulations.

7. Avoid harsh, heavy alcohol-based cleansers.

Choose balm or cream products instead. It is possible to double cleanse when your skin is thirsty. You can use water to cleanse your skin however, make the second cleanse dry cleanse.

I’m starting with my daily routine for the morning. Therefore, starting with cleanser, cleansing is the first step. Don’t make use of a makeup wipe to clean your face! The one you’re using (iS Clinical Cleansing Complex) is manufactured by iS Clinical, it’s their Cleansing Complex. It’s a fantastic mild, all-day, excellent cleanser.

Sometimes , during winter it is commonplace to apply a moisturizing cleansing step such as an oil or balm. The product is DHC Deep Cleansing Oil. It is a lengthy, long-time beloved product among Dermstore customers. What you should do is to start by using this and apply a tiny amount to your hands, then warm it. Then, you would take off your makeup using it. Then, you’d use cleansing products. Then you’ll be left with a very smooth, hydrated feel on your skin rather than that dry feeling that you may experience after cleansing.

8. Use a cream that is rich in vitamin C.

This increases the production of collagen as well as the turnover of cells.

9. Apply an honey mask three times per week

In the evenings, apply this after you have removed your makeup. It is an organic humectant which means it seals in moisture. It instantly gives your skin a gorgeous glow and a beautiful glow. Allow it to sit for about 10 to 15 minutes, and don’t neglect your neck.

10. Use oil for your face overnight

You should look for ingredients such as soybean, rosehip and jojoba, all of which contain hydrating properties.

11. Select the right moisturizer that is suitable for your skin type

Moisturizing creams work as a barrier, keeping moisture and hydrating skin’s outer layer. If you suffer from an oily complexion, then water-based non-comedogenic moisturizers are a good option. Dry skin requires a more heavy moisturizer that contains oil to help rehydrate.

12. Beware of hot baths and showers.

Hot water quickly evaporates and strips your skin of the essential moisture it needs and destroying its natural barrier. Make sure to moisturize immediately following bathing or showering.

13. Cut out dehydrating ingredients

These are ingredients like mineral oils and acid peels that harm cells and significantly decrease the function of the skin barrier, leading to the loss of transepidermal water and expose the skin to elements.

14. Incorporate lipids into your diet

A moisturiser that is rich in the lipids as well as powerful antioxidants is crucial. A thick cream that contains antioxidants like grapeseed oil can be recommended to protect and prepare the skin, while keeping it healthy during the colder seasons.

15. Apply a mild exfoliator

It is essential to use a gentle exfoliator in order to remove dead and dry cells off the skin’s surface. It also allows creams and serums to penetrate more deeply within the skin — this is the most effective method to fight dark spots and blackheads.

16. Include hyaluronic acid in your routine

Hyaluronic acid is a fantastic method to aid skin in holding its hydration, without the need for excessive creams. Hyaluronic acid molecules can support 1,000 times their mass in water. This is thereby locking moisture in the skin.

17. Wear sunscreen

The most crucial thing you can do to protect your skin is wearing sunscreen each and every all day (minimum SPF30) even in winter. The sun’s exposure can cause wrinkles, pigmentation issues loss of collagen, as well as skin cancer. Sunscreen can also even out your skin toneand give hyperpigmentation and marks to get better and lighter.

18. Incorporate the ceramides

Ceramides are a crucial component of the natural barrier to moisture that we produce, but we also produce less and less as we grow older. When the cold is beginning to set in it’s a great idea to incorporate ceramides into your routine of skincare.

19. Do not be afraid of the retinoids

The summer months usually mean more sun exposure, regardless of whether you are using sunscreen. Retinoids in winter can help reverse the effects of exposure to sun during summer like the appearance of dark spots as well as UV-related damage. Begin by applying an retinoid every night and then apply a thick moisturizing cream or oil to seal in the hydration.

20. Toner

Following that, I like to apply an essence or a toner. The one I’ve been using recently is one from Lakme. It’s has AHA and has an amazing exfoliating ability. It’s likely to exfoliate, brightenand shrink pores. Therefore, every day, apply the smallest amount of it on a cotton pad , then rub it on your skin. If in winter, this is unnaturally stripping then you could consider other options that could be more moisture-rich.

This is their skin Perfecting 2-% BHA Liquid containing salicylic acid. It’s an impressive amount! This one, however, tends to be a bit more moisturizer. It’s felt in the ball of cotton and it has a little an emollient look. This one could be a bit attractive in winter.
