As the temperature drops and the air becomes drier, our skin requires extra care and attention to stay healthy and glowing during the winter months. The cold weather can strip the skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness, irritation, and even cracking. To combat these effects, it's essential to understand what your skin craves during winter.
Hydration
One of the most important things your skin craves during winter is hydration. Cold air and indoor heating can deplete the skin's moisture levels, leaving it feeling tight and dry. To combat this, make sure to use a rich, hydrating moisturizer that contains powerful ingredients and a serum with ingredients like Seabuckthorn, Vitamin E & Gotu Kola. These ingredients help to lock in moisture and keep your skin hydrated throughout the day.
Protection
Another thing your skin craves during winter is protection from the harsh elements. Cold winds and low temperatures can damage the skin's barrier, making it more susceptible to irritation and inflammation. To protect your skin, make sure to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day, even when it's cloudy. Additionally, consider using a barrier cream or ointment to create a protective layer against the cold.
Exfoliation
During winter, the buildup of dead skin cells can make your skin look dull and flaky. To combat this, your skin craves gentle exfoliation to remove the dead cells and reveal fresh, glowing skin underneath. Consider using a gentle exfoliating scrub containing Biackhousia Citriodora Extract, Olea Europaea Extract, Vegetable (Palm Free) Glycerine, Rosa Canina (Rosehip) Seed Powder, Vitellaria Paradoxa Nut Butter, Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate, and Simmondsia Chinensis Oil. Just remember not to over-exfoliate, as this can further damage the skin barrier.
Moisture Lock
In addition to hydration, your skin craves moisture lock to prevent water loss and maintain its natural balance. Look for a deeply hydrating and cooling Gel Mask infused with Hyaluronic Acid and a plant-based peptide to intensely replenish moisture to even the most dehydrated skin.
By understanding what your skin craves during winter and providing it with the necessary care and attention, you can keep your skin healthy, hydrated, and glowing all season long.
Remember to listen to your skin's needs and adjust your skincare routine accordingly to ensure that it stays happy and radiant, no matter how cold it gets outside.
