Guide to Winter Skincare

Introduction:

Winter may be rough on your skin, making it dry, itchy, and irritated. But may also feel trapped: the cold, blustery weather outside can irritate your skin, while heat indoors zaps moisture from the air and your skin.

1. Dry and cracked skin:

Cause: Air at 86 degrees Fahrenheit may store three times as much moisture as air at 50 degrees Fahrenheit.

Solution: Quench your skin's thirst with a heavier cream, and then seal it all in with oil. Look for squalane and vitamin E as constituents.

2. Dullness and uneven texture:

Cause: Despite appropriate exfoliation, dead skin cells accumulate on the surface of the skin, blocking pores and causing it to lose its radiance.

Solution: The good physical exfoliator, such as Day Maker, will scrape away dead skin cells while also improving skin tone and texture.

3. Acne:

Cause: So the skin's moisture levels are out of whack throughout the winter, oil glands will periodically go into overdrive to compensate for all that dryness.

Solution: Try including a water-gel Clarifying serum into your routine.

4. Sunburn:

Cause: Never using SPF at all, and therefore not reapplying it.

Solution: Using ingredients such as aloe vera leaf juice replenish and moisturize the skin.

Conclusion:

Winter isn't everyone's favourite season, and it's likely that it's not your skin's favourite either. But that doesn't mean winter has to wreak havoc on your skin or you. Make the most of the chilly weather by following a winter skincare routine that is both nourishing and protective.
