11 Dec Winter Skincare Tips: Keep Your Skin Healthy Year-Round
The crazy cold winter weather can take a toll on our skin. However, it’s still possible to have glowing, hydrated skin even in the bitter cold. Here are some winter skincare tips to help you protect your body during the next few months.
Winter Skincare Tips
Moisture, Moisture, & More Moisture: Obviously, moisturize your hands, legs, face, etc. A good way to ensure you’re giving your skin the extra moisture it needs is to switch to cream-based cleansers during the winter. Avoid using skincare that contains alcohol as these products can severely dry out your skin.
- Bundle Up: Aside from moisturizing daily, we can battle cracked skin by covering up the parts of our bodies that are vulnerable to harsh, cold weather.
- Exfoliate: Since the winter weather brings dryness and dead skin, we need to exfoliate to avoid clogging our pores! During the winter, try to exfoliate your face, hands, and lips about three times a week. This will clear your pores of dead skin cells and allow for your fresh layer of skin to shine through.
- Go Fragrance-free: The dry weather can make our skin sensitive and irritated throughout the long winter months. To avoid further irritation, try finding a fragrance-free moisturizer and cleanser. Fragrance products can actually worsen your already dry and itchy skin.
- Sunscreen: Contrary to popular belief, the sun doesn’t disappear in the winter. Yes, you still absolutely need to protect your skin with sunscreen in the winter, especially if you’re skiing or snowboarding.
