Winter can be tough on your skin. The cold air outside and the dry heat inside can strip moisture, leading to dryness and irritation. Here are 5 tips to keep your glow all winter long.
1. Switch to a Heavier Moisturizer
Swap your lightweight gel for a richer cream. Look for ingredients like ceramides, shea butter, and fatty acids to reinforce your skin barrier against the cold.
2. Don't Skip Sunscreen
UV rays can still damage your skin through clouds and snow. Snow can reflect up to 80% of UV rays, increasing your risk of exposure. Apply SPF daily.
3. Humidify Your Home
Heating systems dry out the air. Use a humidifier to add moisture back into the air, which helps keep your skin hydrated while you sleep.
4. Lower the Water Temperature
Hot showers feel great but strip natural oils, leading to itchy, dry skin. Opt for lukewarm water instead to preserve your skin's lipid barrier.
5. Exfoliate Gently
Remove dead skin cells to allow your moisturizer to penetrate better, but don't overdo it. Once or twice a week with a gentle chemical exfoliant is enough. Avoid harsh scrolls.
6. Care for your Lips
Protect your lips with a rich balm. Try our Lip Duo for the best results.
