Skin Care Tips for Winter Months

Skin Care Tips for Winter Months

If you live in a climate where the winter months are particularly harsh, you know that cold weather can wreak havoc on both your face and body. Your skin can become extremely dry, flaky, and sometimes painful or itchy cracks can appear. We’ve compiled the most important tips for protecting your skin, which is most exposed to external factors during the cold months, and keeping it moist.

Just as you change your summer clothes to winter clothes to protect yourself from cold weather conditions, you should also change your skin care routine to better adapt to the cold weather. Light moisturizers and serums may not be enough to protect your skin on cold and windy winter days. Our winter skin care routine suggestions are as follows:

1. Facial Cleanser

Every proper skincare routine starts with a clean slate – that is, washing your face. No matter what time of year it is, washing your face should be a regular part of your beauty routine. In the winter months, you can prevent excessive dryness by using a powerful facial cleanser. You can also get help from a soothing and hydrating product like micellar water. Micellar water is a gentle, no-rinse cleansing alternative that removes daily impurities from the skin’s surface without over-drying it.

2. Moisturizer

The best time to apply moisturizer is when your skin is still damp. Because when your skin is slightly damp, it helps to maintain hydration. Apply moisturizer to your face and body after cleansing or showering. As for what to use, try Intensive Nourising (an intensive moisturizer for dry or very dry skin) and Gentle Emollient Shower, which is also suitable for sensitive skin. Both moisturizers are formulated with Punica Granatum and nourishing oils to provide nourishing comfort to mature, dry skin.

3. Hand Cream

Most of the time, you only moisturize your face, thinking that it bears the brunt of the winter weather, but you shouldn’t forget your hands. Your hands, just like your face, come into direct contact with the cold air; especially if you’re not used to wearing gloves. Also, washing your hands frequently can cause extra dryness. Make sure you have a rich hand cream in your bag so that you can moisturize your hands on the go. We recommend Intensive Nourising , which soothes mature, very dry skin on the face, neck, chest and hands.

4. Soap

According to dermatologists, many soaps can strip your skin of moisture. In the winter, instead of harsh soaps, it will be good for your skin to take a shower with unscented, moisturizing soaps and moisturizing shower gels such as Gentle Emollient Shower .

Steps You Can Add to Your Skin Care Routine During Winter

Now that you have a better understanding of what happens to your skin in cold weather and the necessary product changes, it’s time to talk tips. A few simple lifestyle changes and a little extra care for your complexion can help you manage your skin condition in a controlled manner.

1. Pay Attention to Your Whole Body

When it comes to moisturizing, it’s not just your face that needs extra moisture in the winter. Skin on every part of your body can also be prone to dryness depending on the weather. Keep a moisturizing body lotion in your bathroom for easy access and apply it daily.

2. Keep a Moisturizing Face Spray in Your Bag

No matter how well you moisturize, you may still need a boost of moisture midday. This is where facial mists come in handy. Just apply a little bit when your skin is feeling dry. Check out hydrating facial mists formulated with vitamin C and coconut water.

3. Use a Moisturizer with Quality Content

Winter weather is notorious for sucking moisture out of the air, so a good moisturizer is an excellent way to keep your skin hydrated.

4. Exfoliation

If exfoliation is not part of your regular skincare routine, you should start now. Exfoliation is the process of removing dead skin cells from the surface of your skin, and when dead skin cells build up on the surface, it can leave your skin looking dull. You can benefit from both face and body exfoliation. For your face, add the Rejuvenating Facial Exfoliation to your nightly skincare routine. It eliminates dull, uneven skin tone and rough texture to reveal the younger-looking skin underneath.
