Fashion and beauty always exude a kinder, gentler, higher-class air in wintertime. But, the season can be, really, a skin tormentor with the cold air, low humidity, and the heating inside which can take the skin’s moisture without it even noticing thus drying it out. A very easy, effective skincare routine that most importantly provides hydration & protection will keep the skin at a comfortable level, make it more resilient.
Gentle Cleansing That Upholds the Skin Barrier
A gentle and non-foaming cleanser will help you clear & clean away dirt while at the same time leaving the natural oils of the skin undisturbed. It is these natural oils that will most effectively moisturize the skin during the winter. Besides, washing the face with lukewarm water is one of the ways that the skin will be prevented from drying and getting irritated.
Hydrating Toner to Replenish Water
A hydrating toner supplies water to the skin right after cleansing and also makes the skin more willing to absorb the next products. A formula that contains humectants restores the skin to a balanced state while softening and calming the skin.
Nourishing Serum to Treat the Skin Deeply
Serums that contain hyaluronic acid or glycerol among other components are able to give the skin ample moisture that goes beyond the epidermis. Thus, the skin remains elastic and the tight and uncomfortable sensation felt around the skin after winter is diminished.
Eye Protection That Stops Seasonal Wrinkles from Forming
In cold seasons, the thin skin around the eyes is losing moisture faster and, thus, a moisturizing eye cream is a must-have. Besides, continuous use not only prevents the appearance of fine lines caused by dryness but also keeps the under-eye area smooth and fresh.
Heavy Moisturizer for Comfort that Lasts
Rich moisturizers effectively recreate the skin’s natural barrier by forming a protective film that not only traps moisture but also shields the skin from the harsh effects of cold and wind. Among various creams, those with ceramides or natural lipids help the skin barrier considerably.
Facial Oils to Lock in Hydration
If you apply a few drops of facial oil on top of your moisturizer, it will not only lock in the moisturizer but also make your skin look radiant & glossy. In short, oils are used as the last step of a skincare routine. Therefore, not only do they keep your skin hydrated but if you use them properly, they will also not clog your pores.
Sun Protection Even on Cold Days
UV rays are always present throughout the year, and that’s why it’s necessary to wear sunscreen every day, even in winter. Choosing a broad-spectrum sunscreen is protective, and also prevent premature skin aging; besides, it gives a healthy skin benefit in the long run, even if the sun is less powerful.
Weekly Exfoliation for Smooth Texture
Exfoliating gently once a week is a method of getting rid of the layer of dead skin cells that, among other things, make it hard for moisture to get deeply absorbed into the skin. In most cases, mild chemical exfoliants are a better choice for winter than harsh physical scrubs.
Overnight Care for Skin Recovery
During the night, skin restores itself naturally. That is why a nourishing night cream or sleeping mask used at night will aid in stimulating this healing process. Besides, such products infuse skin with a steady hydration supply which results in soft and refreshed skin when you get up in the morning.
