Winter Skin

During the winter time many people struggle with dry and irritable skin. Dry skin causes dead skin which results in clogged pores and acne. Many people tend to break out during the winter time however this can be helped by a slight change in the skincare routine

Step One - SPF

Even though during the winter time the sun isn't as prominent that still does not mean we should skip SPF. The U.V rays are still very much active and using SPF will prevent early aging; and overall keep your skin healthy and young.

Step Two - Moisturizer

As the temperature and the air becomes dry drops our skin tends to become drier. To prevent cracked skin it is ideal to use a richer cream based moisturizer to retain our skins natural moisture

Step Three - Hydrate

When the air is dry it is useful to have a humidifier, humidifiers are used to maintain moisture in the air. Having the air be moisturized helps our skin stay moisturized and protect it from the dryness. In addition having an ongoing water supply and always staying hydrated is essential to keep our skin hydrated.

Step Four - Lip Balm

Chapped lips in the winter is extremely common due to the dry weather and our lips not having any oil glands. This is why constantly rehydrating the by applying any type of lip balm is key in the winter to not having dry lips.

Step Five - Exfoliation

The final step is exfoliation this is because of the dryness in the air. The dead skin cells build up which is the reason we need to exfoliate at least once a week to prevent our skin to dry up. However during the colder months switching to a more gentle exfoliate is preferable.

Since the temperature and humidity drops so does the hydration of our skin. This is why during the winter we should change to a heavier moisturizer. In addition, hot showers tend to dehydrate the skin barrier causing inflammation in our faces. Moreover, vitamin C serum and retinal are an important component in skincare as well as it provided anti-aging properties that help protect the skin. Using vitamin C in the morning can help brighten the face; and at night we use retinol to protect our skin from aging.
