Winter Skin Care Routine Tips

Winter Skin Care Routine Tips

For many people, the cold clear days of winter bring more than just a rosy glow to the cheeks. They also bring uncomfortable dryness to the skin of the face, hands, and feet. That’s why i would love to offer you some winter skin care routine tips

For some people, the problem is worse than just a general tight, dry feeling: They get skin so dry it results in flaking, cracking, even eczema.

As soon as you turn the heat on indoors, the skin starts to dry out, .It doesn’t matter if you heat your home using oil, wood, or electricity. The skin gets dry.

Here are my winter skin care routine tips to adjust your skin for winter, to keep the healthy glow without the flakiness:

Moisturize More

You may have found a moisturizer that works just fine in spring and summer. But as weather conditions change, so, too, should your skin care routine. Find an “ointment” moisturizer that’s natural oil-based, rather than water-based, as the oil will create a protective layer on the skin that retains more moisture than a cream or lotion.

Try the “Ultra-Rich Face Cream” – perfect for the winter as it is very rich with butters, vitamins and precious oils

Add A Nourishing Serum 

The concept with a serum is that larger amounts of active molecules will potentially penetrate the skin’s surface for optimum effectiveness. Also, due to the higher concentration, it typically takes a shorter amount of time to see visible results. A benefit to oils serum is the fact that they contain natural antioxidants and fatty acids. That means they actually can help with anti-aging and protecting the skin from free radicals.

 

Try Pure Night Serum – Natural facial skin moisture and nourishment night serum. For an intensive, super smooth feel, apply this nutritional multi-vitamin serum which  contains a mixture of best oils such as pomegranate , rose hip, jasmine and more. Also contains Acai fruit extract which is a great antioxidant fruit to protect skin from environment damages.

Slather on the Sunscreen

No,sun protection isn’t just for summertime. Winter sun — combined with snow glare — can still damage your skin. Try applying a SPF contained face cream about 30 minutes before going outside

Give Your Hands a Hand

The skin on your hands is thinner than on most parts of the body and has fewer oil glands. That means it’s harder to keep your hands moist, especially in cold, dry weather. This can lead to itchiness and cracking. Wear gloves when you go outside; if you need to wear wool to keep your hands warm, slip on a thin cotton glove first, to avoid any irritation the wool might cause.

Try Winter edition Hand Lotion– perfect for dry, cracked hands!

Avoid Wet Gloves and Socks

Wet socks and gloves can irritate your skin and cause itching, cracking, sores, or even a flare-up of eczema

Hook Up the Humidifier

Central heating systems (as well as space heaters) blast hot dry air throughout our homes and offices. Humidifiers get more moisture in the air, which helps prevent your skin from drying out. Place several small humidifiers throughout your home; they help disperse the moisture more evenly.

Hydrate for Your Health, Not for Your Skin

If you’ve heard it once, you’ve heard it a thousand times: Drinking water helps your skin stay young looking.

Grease Up Your Feet

Yes, those minty foot lotions are lovely in the hot summer months, but during the winter, your feet need stronger stuff. Use lotions that contain natural butters and oils . And use exfoliants to get the dead skin off periodically; that helps any moisturizers you use to sink in faster and deeper. (Read here how to treat your feet at home)

Try Pure Dry Feet Cream– to give your feet the softness they need!

Pace the Peels

If your facial skin is uncomfortably dry, avoid using harsh peels, masks, and alcohol-based toners or astringents, all of which can strip vital oil from your skin. Instead, find a natural, gentle cleanser, a toner with no alcohol, and masks that are “deeply hydrating,” rather than clay-based, which tends to draw moisture out of the face. And use them a little less often.

Try Pure Flowers Toner–

Ban Super hot Baths

Sure, soaking in a burning-hot bath feels great after frolicking out in the cold. But the intense heat of a hot shower or bath actually breaks down the lipid barriers in the skin, which can lead to a loss of moisture. A lukewarm bath with oatmeal or baking soda, can help relieve skin that is so dry it has become itchy.

Have a warm winter!
